This is so frustrating! icon_cry.gif Admittedly, I am not the best when it comes to cooking any covection on the stove, but I really want stabilized whip cream for filling my cakes. That stuff is delicious! icon_biggrin.gif

Does anyone have a no fail recipe? Or tips? The directions are not specific enough for me. thumbsdown.gif


So I tried it two times in a row and here's what happened:

1ST TRY: I may have overwhipped the cream before adding the gelatin, but when i went to add the gelatin, it had already set! icon_mad.gif I quickly made a new batch of gelatin, trying not to let it cool all the way again.. When i mixed the gelatin with the whipped cream, it started to look like butter, then i had clumps of stuff in watery stuff.. gross

2ND TRY: I added the dissolved gelatin right after i started mixing the whip cream because i was afraid it would set again. I whipped the cream to a nice texture, but i was afraid i would overwhip it. I tested it on some cake scraps and it lost some of its puff. icon_sad.gif Did I add the gelatin too soon? or not whip enough?

Please help! Thank you!!

Hello etigg82

In order to avoid those kinds of problems, I do not use gelatin. When I use a whipped cream filling, I add jello pudding instead.. I keep a small box of jello instant vanilla pudding powder just for making whipped cream. Since I am going to add vanilla anyway, it just enhances the vanilla flavor. For a cup of whipped cream I use a heaping 1 tbsp of the pudding powder. I just sprinkle it on top of the cream as I begin to whip it up.
Works for me.
(if I need chocolate whipped cream, I use chocolate pudding, just more of it)
let me know if you try it.
ciao
