- 1 tsp unflavored gelatin
- 1 1/2 tbsp cold water
- 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream cold
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
In a microwave-safe dish, sprinkle gelatin over cold water. Whisk until absorbed and let sit for 5 minutes.
In a large chilled bowl, beat together cold heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until thickened.
Check the gelatin. If solidified, microwave briefly until liquid but not hot, about 5-10 seconds. Stir to smooth.
With the mixer on low, drizzle in the gelatin, then gradually increase speed to medium/high and beat to stiff peaks.
Use the frosting immediately to pipe or spread on cakes or cupcakes (or anywhere else you fancy!).
