Ingredients

  • Full Recipe:
  • 1 t gelatin (unflavored powdered)
  • 2 T water
  • 3 c cream (whipping) (heavy)
  • 1/4 c Sugar (Icing)
  • Half Recipe:
  • 1/2 t gelatin (unflavored powdered)
  • 1 T water
  • 1.5 c cream (whipping) (heavy)
  • 2 T Sugar (Icing)

Method

Combine gelatin and water in a medium bowl. Let stand 5 minutes to soften gelatin.  Bring 1/4 cup (2T for half recipe) cream to simmer in small saucepan over medium heat, then whisk in gelatin mixture until no lumps remain; let cool 3 minutes.  With electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat cooled gelatin mixture, sugar, and remaining cream to stiff peaks, about 2 minutes.

Spread as filling and frosting as desired on your cake.
