- add review
- #35368
Stabilized whipped cream will hold its shape longer than regular whipped cream. Traditionally it's made with gelatin but this version uses piping gel to get the same results.

ingredients
1 cup cold heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons piping gel, any color
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
directions
Place the heaving whipping cream in a chilled mixing bowl. Beat on medium speed with an electric mixer until it begins to thicken. Sprinkle the confectioners' sugar over the cream and continue to beat until it forms soft peaks.
Add the piping gel and vanilla. Beat the cream until it forms stiff peaks. Do not over beat the cream or it will separate and become clumpy.
Keep the stabilized whipped cream refrigerated. Use as a frosting or topping for sweet treats.
recipe tips
Make sure the heavy whipping cream is very cold before whipping for best results.
Do not overbeat the cream once the piping gel is added to prevent it from becoming clumpy.
Try different colors of piping gel and extracts to create unique variations.
For a sweeter whipped cream, increase the amount of confectioners' sugar to taste.
common recipe questions
What is the purpose of using piping gel in stabilized whipped cream?
Piping gel helps to stabilize the whipped cream, allowing it to hold its shape longer and prevent it from deflating. It also colors the whipped cream without adding additional liquid.
Can I substitute gelatin for piping gel in this recipe?
While gelatin is a common stabilizer for whipped cream, piping gel provides a similar effect without the need for blooming or dissolving, making it more convenient for quick preparations.
How can I customize the flavor of the whipped cream?
You can add different extracts or flavorings such as almond, coconut, or coffee to enhance the taste of the whipped cream.
Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
You can prepare the stabilized whipped cream ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator until ready to use. It should be used within a day or two for best results.
Can I freeze stabilized whipped cream?
It is not recommended to freeze stabilized whipped cream as it will affect the texture and stability of the cream once thawed.
What can I do if the whipped cream becomes overbeaten?
If the whipped cream becomes overbeaten and starts to separate, you can try adding a little more heavy cream and gently stirring to incorporate it back into the mixture.

Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.
