Ingredients

  • cup full fat milk cold and dived
  • 2 teaspoons unflavoured powdered gelatin
  • 2 tablespoon powdered sugar

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, add ¼ cup of cold milk.
  • Scatter the powdered gelatin over the milk and let it sit for 5 minutes to form a spongy texture.
  • Once this mixture is spongy, use a microwave to melt the mixture into a liquid. Set the mixture aside to cool.
  • Pour 1 cup of cold milk into a large bowl. Pour in the melted gelatin mixture and whisk together. Place in the fridge for 20 minutes.
  • Remove the mixture from the fridge, add the powdered sugar and stir until combined. Place the mixture into the bowl of an electric mixer and mix at high speed until the mixture thickens and doubles in volume.
  • Store the whipped cream in the fridge and use within 2 days. Note that this whipped cream cannot be frozen.
