Stablized Whip Cream Frosting

For years I've been trying to figure out what kind of whipped cream is used on Perkins Peanut Butter Pie . . .


and on Cheesecake Factory's White Chocolate Raspberry Truffle cheesecake.

 
Can I hear an AMEN!?!  Both of those desserts are unbelieveably good.

A couple months ago, I attempted a "sturdy whipped cream frosting" from Allrecipes.  It failed miseably.  I was so disappointed.  But recently, I came across a recipe on Pinterest.  I had occassion to try it, and it worked beautifully!

 
Stabilized Whipped Cream Frosting
  • 1/2 tsp unflavored gelatin powder
  • 2 tbsp cold water
  • 1 cup whipping cream
  • pinch salt
  • 2 tbsp confectioner's sugar
1. Sprinkle gelatin over cold water in small bowl to soften.
2. Scald 2 tablespoon of the cream; pour over gelatin, stirring till dissolved.

3. Refrigerate until consistency of unbeaten egg white. (This takes about 10-15 minutes.) Then, with a whisk, beat until smooth.

4. In a stand mixer with a whip attachment, or with a hand beater, whip remaining cream, salt and sugar; whip in the smoothed gelatin mixture, stopping to scrape the bowl twice.

Fills and frosts top of 2 8" or 9" cake layers; or frosts 10" angel cake or spongecake. Tops one standard 9" pie with some left over to enjoy from a spoon. Stands up well, even in warm weather. Keep leftover frosting and any product topped with it in the refrigerator until ready to eat.
