Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons instant pudding (whatever flavor you desire)
  • OR - if you need perfectly white whipped cream use
  • 1/4 teaspoon unflavored gelatin
  • 2 tablespoons ice water
  • 1 tablespoon if you don't use pudding, flavoring such as vanilla, rum, coffee, lemon, etc. may be added.
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1-3 tablespoon fine sugar

How To Make stabilized whipped cream

  • Step 1
    Use cream with NO LESS than 30% butterfat. The higher the butterfat content, the better stabilized it will be. Cream that is not ultra-pasturized will also hold its shape better.
  • Step 2
    Chill your mixing bowl (stainless steel and copper are best) and beaters in the freezer for 20 minutes. Your cream should also be cold.
  • Step 3
    If using instant pudding: Begin whipping the cream. When small bubbles appear, add instant pudding and sugar (if any). Continue to beat until stiff peaks form.
  • Step 4
    If using gelatin: Pour very cold water into a small bowl. Sprinkle gelatin on top of water to bloom. After 3 minutes add bloomed gelatin/water mixture to cold cream in the chilled mixing bowl. Begin to beat. When small bubbles appear, add flavoring of choice and sugar. Continue to beat until stiff peaks form.
  • Step 5
    DO NOT OVERBEAT! The cream will separate and turn to butter that you won't want to use as butter. ;)
