Equipment
- heatproof bowl
- whisk
- mixing bowl
- electric mixer
- measuring cups
- measuring spoons
Ingredients
- 1 pouch unflavored gelatine approximately 2 1/2 teaspoons
- 1/4 cup cold water
- 1/2 cup boiling water
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy cream cold
Instructions
- Sprinkle the unflavored gelatine over the 1/4 cup of cold water in a medium heatproof bowl. Let it stand for 5 minutes until the granules are softened and have absorbed the water, creating a spongy-looking texture.
- Pour the 1/2 cup of boiling water directly over the softened gelatine mixture. Whisk continuously for about 2 minutes until the gelatine is completely dissolved and the liquid is clear.
- Whisk the granulated sugar and vanilla extract into the warm gelatine liquid until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
- Place the bowl in the refrigerator for 45 to 60 minutes, chilling the mixture until it becomes very cold and has the thick, syrupy consistency of unbeaten egg whites.
- Pour the cold heavy cream into a separate large mixing bowl. Use an electric hand mixer or stand mixer to whip the cream on high speed until stiff peaks form.
- Gradually pour the chilled gelatine mixture into the whipped cream while continuously beating on medium speed. Whip for another 2 to 3 minutes until the mixture is fully combined, light, and fluffy, resembling the texture of whipped topping.
- Serve immediately as a dessert topping or pudding, or transfer to a container and refrigerate for up to 2 hours to set further.
