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