I have been looking for a whipped cream I can pipe and it will hold its shape. Whipping heavy cream will keep its shape for a while but slowly begins to droop.
My good friend at Coleen's Recipes was gracious enough to share her secret for a stabilized whipped cream. I tried it and it works so nice...loved the results. She also shared her Pineapple Coconut Cream Pie that was luscious. This piping in the picture is over 24 hours old. Kept its shape and never became weepy.

@@@@@ Now You're Cooking! Export Format
Stabilized Whipped Cream
Frostings
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin powder
4 teaspoons cold water
Put unflavored gelatin powder in a small dish and add 4 teaspoons of cold water and stir. Let this sit until it looks semi-solid, then put this in the microwave for just a couple seconds (my microwave takes about 3 or 4 seconds) and it will turn back to a liquid. Let this liquid cool, but not so cool that it turns back into a solid.
Whip the cream, sugar and vanilla until it gets thick, but not totally whipped. While the beaters are still going on high, dribble in the cooled liquid gelatin. Continue beating until stiff peaks form.
Yield: 2 cups

Mr. Bill,
As much as I throw gelatin powder in various dishes you think I would have hit on this “YEARS” ago! Thanks to you and Coleen for the enlightenment. – gary
This is a wonderful thing and I will be trying it. Your piping looks great! I love coconut cream pie and will have to make it with pineapple now!
What a clever thing to do! So glad you shared your secret. :-)
