An easy way to make your piped whipping cream more stable.
Place cold water into a small microwave safe bowl and sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over the top-whisk to combine. Set aside-this will turn into a solid.
In a mixing bowl with an electric mixer, combine heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form. Set aside.
Place the gelatin into the microwave for 5 seconds, remove and stir. Place back in for 5 more seconds, stir-gelatin will be a liquid again.
Begin with the mixer on low, mix while you slowly pour the liquid gelatin into the whipping cream and then, increase the mixing speed to medium and mix until stiff peaks form.
Place whipping cream in a piping bag and pipe onto dessert. Enjoy!
NOTES: 1-This recipe works great for all kinds of desserts! It amazes me how long it will hold its shape! 2-This takes about six minutes, with a hand mixer, to get to the soft peak stage and three more to get to stiff peak stage.
