Anything topped with a generous dollop of Whipped Cream makes it instantly yummy. I’ve had a few disasters and some lesser disasters in this area. But I am confident enough now that I can whip up some thing good without my whipping cream falling apart or melting away.
Fresh Whipping cream is always the best but if you are preparing for a party and your dessert topped with cream is sitting for a few hours unattended don’t be worried anymore. There are a few options that I have tried before writing this post. So I will be sharing mine today!!
Some things to know before you start whisking away-
- Please chill your bowl, whisk and cream before proceeding with any of the options.
- I like to add vanilla essence but its optional as the cream already may contain vanilla essence and sugar.
- If you want to color your cream use gel colors. Add it when you have soft peaks.
- 1 cup of cream yields 2 cups of whipping cream.
Option 1-
1 tsp Gelatin or Agar Agar
1 Cup non-dairy whipping cream
1 tsp Vanilla essence
- To proceed mix 1 tsp gelatin or agar agar in 2 tsp of water. Let it sit for 10 mins. Now heat this on low heat till all the gelatin or agar agar has been dissolved.
- Now start by whisking cream in the chilled bowl on slow and gradually increase the speed. Keep whisking until soft peaks.
- Add gelatin and keep whisking on slow to avoid any lumps. With in a few mins you may get stiff peaks.
- Chill the cream in fridge for 30 mins.
- Pipe and frost.
Option 2-
2 tbsp Milk Powder
1 cup of whipping cream
- Start by mixing the milk powder in cream.
- Now simply add vanilla essence and whip till stiff peaks.
- This will hold well not as best as option -1 but good if you don’t wanna use gelatin.
Option 3-
3 tbsp of un-flavored pudding mix or vanilla flavored
1 cup of whipping cream
- Mix the pudding mix and cream. Whip until stiff peaks.
- This option is good when you are flavoring as pudding flavor will taste in cream.
- Also if using vanilla it may turn a bit yellow.
So I have covered all the options. Do try it once and drop in your feedback in comments.
