Stabilized, Fluffy, Light Whipped Cream Frosting

[@Geminish15]

Instead of a microwave (don't have one) I set the small dish in a larger dish floating in hot water and just kept stirring til liquified gelatin. Worked fine. 🙂

[@SugarSpunRun]

Great tip! Thank you for sharing!!

[@stefaniegodfrey6155]

I like to use this method instead of the microwave. Microwaves are never dependable for heating correctly and usually over heats sensitive ingredients such as butter etc

[@shelbyd.5178]

Very helpful

[@_salma4]

I have tried this frosting yesterday. I covered my 6" cake with it and it held the layers really well, it tasted great too!! Thank you!! 🌹 For anyone trying this... After so many experiments with stabilized WC, once you whipped your cream with gelatin use it immediately because the frosting will start to set and it will be hard to frost a cake with it. The gelatin will make the cream little bit crumbly so smoothing it on a cake will be a pain! But once you take a bite of your cake you will forget your pain because it taste so good 🥲I hope this helps someone! 💛

I'm so glad you enjoyed it so much! :)

[@zamis21]

@@SugarSpunRun Great so I can put the whole cake in the freezer for the next day?

[@_salma4]

@@zamis21 Yes you can freeze the cake after frosting it. It will taste even better the next day, but let it stand in room temperature 30 mins to 1 hour before serving.

Taste like the whipped topping you get on a say grocery store bakery cake. That's what I'm looking for nothing really sweet at all

[@robertagrippon9741]

Was so excited first time my stabilized icing ever turned out and stayed true it was hot I thought for sure it would melt everywhere and it withstood 4 hours and was still going until the cake was completely gone perfect recipe recommended for anyone trying to find one!

[@SugarSpunRun]

Yay! I'm so glad it worked so well for you. :)

[@DeeEll86442]

I have my own version of stabilized whipped cream that I came up with because I live in such a hot temperature 🥵I needed it to hold up. Like you I used gelatin to help stabilize the whipped cream but I changed a couple of the other items in the recipe. Instead of the powdered sugar and vanilla I added 1/2 cup of white chocolate ganache. Now you can add other flavorings with this version. I like to add a nice champagne 🍾 extract. This not only gave the frosting sweetness and a pleasant vanilla flavor but I found that it also helped with the stability of the frosting. Now if I wanted it a little sweeter I could add a little sugar or some sweetened condensed milk. I’ve also tried adding powdered freeze dried strawberries to it which gave it a pretty color and flavor. I found that I could also make a nice dark chocolate 🍫 whipped cream frosting by adding a dark chocolate ganache to the gelatin and whipped cream mixture. It’s lots of fun to experiment with recipe by adding different colors and flavorings to make it your own. I hope this idea helps some else like it helped me. 😉😁 Happy Baking, Dee 😊

I’m going to try this for my baby shower cake I’m making. The weather will be in the 90s. It’s about a 15-20 minute ride to the venue and I don’t want to risk it melting on the way there.

[@debjudisch5548]

Hi, Sam! I am not crazy (call me crazy! lol) about messing with gelatin so I have always put cream cheese in my whipping cream and called it "Stabilized Whipped Cream Frosting". What would be the difference between the two, other than the SLIGHT taste of the cream cheese? A week ago I made an Italian Cream Cake for my sister for her birthday. I also decided to make her some cupcakes, too (nearly killed myself!) as well for an added treat. Anyway, I make a batch of lemon/orange curd. I then make some lemon/orange cupcakes, filling them with the curd. I make stabilized whipping cream and put the citrus juices and the zest in it and frost. She shared with some of her friends (even their waitress got some goodies at Olive Garden) and I was getting calls telling me that my cupcakes were SO refreshing and "to die for!". The huge 3-layer, 7@ cake was a hit, as well! Many people have never heard of, seen, or tasted that cake! I felt so proud of myself! Oh!...sorry...my point? People seem to love that frosting with the cream cheese! Sorry to carry on, everyone! God bless you all for puttin' up with me...🙂

[@SugarSpunRun]

Sounds delicious!

[@meganestrada9153]

So you stabilize yiurs with cream cheese and it didn't melt? I'm new to making whipped cream frosting

Hey here’s a tip: use MASCARPONE instead. For some reason it’s pricey in the US (in the UK it’s like 90p) but I highly recommend bc it tastes JUST like cream. I think it’s made w cream & a thickener like lemon juice. I’ve always used that and it’s delicious and very stable :)

[@aprilchastain8194]

Ok, I tried this recipe and it is so so good! The only thing is that I did something wrong and my frosting had little chunks of gelatin in it when we ate the cake 😆 What did I do wrong?!

[@SugarSpunRun]

I'm so glad you liked it! If it isn’t smooth it’s typically because the gelatin is not bloomed properly. The most important thing is to make sure the gelatin has dissolved/absorbed all of the water and then had time to sit and solidify in the cold water before returning it to the microwave, and then make sure it has melted completely. If these steps aren’t followed exactly you could end up with a frosting that is grainy, unfortunately. 🙁

You should temper the gelatin first by adding a little of the cream into the gelatin, whisking THEN add to the cream.

I wouldn't recommend leaving all of it out, because the sugar helps with stabilization. There is only ½ cup of sugar in the whole recipe, which when compared to classic buttercream frosting, (typically has 4 cups or 8x as much sugar for the same amount of icing!), is a very small amount. I'd consider this frosting to be very lightly sweetened.
