Close your eyes and imagine with me for just a moment...You've just had a wonderful dinner at your favorite restaurant. Your tummy is so full you have convinced yourself you will probably not have to eat again for a week.Then your waitress stops by your table with a tray filled with the most delicious mouth watering desserts you have ever seen. In her sweetest, most innocent voice she says those famous last words, " have you saved room for dessert?" Before you know it, you are hearing yourself order dessert.
Have you ever wondered how a restaurant keeps their whipped cream turning into a watering mess? Today I am going to show you how to make whipped cream that will last longer than 24 hours.

Unflavored Gelatine
2 tablespoons of cold water in a microwave safe bowl . Sprinkle 1 tsp of unflavored gelatine over the top of the water. Do not stir. Just allow the water to soak up the gelatine. Then place the bowl in the microwave and heat abour 20 seconds on high until the gelatine is melted. Set aside. Now add 1 cup of whipping cream to a mixing bowl. Using the electric mixer, whip on low for a couple of seconds turning it to high. Gradually add 3 tablespoons of sugar. You can use regular granulated sugar or powdered sugar. I like to use powered sugar. I think it makes a smoother fluffier whipped cream. When the cream has whipped to the stiff peak stage whip in 1 teaspoon of vanilla. Now it is time to stabilize the cream. With the electric mixer on a low setting, in a slow and steady stream pour in the melted gelatine just until it is stirred in. It will just take a couple of turns of the mixer and you are done. This is very easy. You can now add your whipped cream to your favorite dessert.. The stabilized whipped cream will last a few days in the refrigerator before it begins to separate and turn watery.
