Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin
  • 2 tablespoons cold water
  • A pinch of salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Whip the heavy whipping cream in a mixing bowl on medium speed until soft peaks form (about 3-5 minutes).
  2. Soften the gelatin by sprinkling it over cold water in a separate bowl; let it sit for 5-10 minutes.
  3. Melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat, then whisk in vanilla extract and granulated sugar until smooth.
  4. Combine the melted butter mixture with the whipped cream and gently fold until incorporated.
  5. Add the softened gelatin (microwaved to dissolve) into the mixture, folding gently to avoid deflation.
  6. Chill the mixture in a clean bowl covered with plastic wrap for at least 1 hour before using.

Notes

Use cold utensils for whipping the cream for best results. Adjust sugar to taste.
