Pipable Whipped Cream Frosting

Steve doesn't like buttercream so I had to research a whipped cream frosting sturdy enough to decorate just to make it pretty. I am pretty happy with this recipe.

I made 3 batches of this: one for the crumb coat and 2 to frost the cake. I had a cup leftover.

Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup cold water
  • 1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
  1. Chill mixing bowl and beaters for at least 15 minutes before using. Place water in a small microwave-safe bowl. Sprinkle gelatin over water and allow to soften 5 minutes.
  2. Dissolve gelatin by microwaving for 2 minutes, stirring after every 30 seconds. Remove from microwave and let stand at room temperature for 10 minutes; gelatin must be liquid but not warm when added to cream.
  3. Remove bowl and beaters from refrigerator and pour in cream, sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat together just until beater marks begin to show distinctly.
  4. Add gelatin mixture to cream, pouring in a steady stream while beating constantly. Beat until stiff peaks form. Use immediately.

  1. Thank you for sharing a wonderful recipe, I've been searching for recipe like this. I've just done a batch of icing and it look great, very silky and sturdy enough to pipe.
    Although I thought it not sweet enough for my taste so I added one more tablespoon of sugar :)
    Thank again for the recipe!!!
