Wilton Stabilized Whipped Cream

Kittencalskitchen's Note:

I have been using this method for 30 years, no more thin runny whipped cream and your whipping cream will hold up for days this, is fabulous on cakes --- for 2 cups whipping cream use 2 tsp gelatin in 2 tbsp cold water.

Another winner, Kitten. I may have done something wrong, but my cream wouldn't whip past the very soft peak stage. I was hoping for something a teeny bit firmer. In the end, it tasted wonderful and frosted my patriotic red, white and blue cake just fine and I'm so happy to have the cake finished and in the refrigerator so that I can concentrate on the rest of our Memorial Day feast. Thank you once again!

Used on a chocolate cream pie and the whipped cream held up without a problem for several days. Only problem I had was my fault. Not sure it I allowed the gelatin to cool and firm up too much, but I had chunks of gelatin in the finished product. Will use this recipe again, and do a better job incorporating the gelatin next time. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

This worked like a charm. I wish I would have read the other reviewer tips about reheating the gelatin or adding the cream to the heated gelatin. I did have some clumps, but I'm sure I'll get it right next time. I did add some vanilla and it was delicious and not the least bit runny. Thanks so much for posting this recipe, I'll be using it again and again.
