You’ll be amazed at the thickness and creaminess of this delicious stabilized whipped cream. It’s almost like a whipped cream mousse. This is a secret bakery recipe from Amycakes Bakery. It has a delicious creamy vanilla flavor from the pure vanilla. It is thickened with Instant Clearjel, a type of cornstarch, that will keep the whipped cream thick and stable for up to a week in the fridge or even longer in the freezer. You can pipe this stabilized whipped cream as a frosting on cupcakes, or use it to make melt-in-your-mouth cream pies, cake parfaits, and trifles.

Ingredients
56 grams (½cup)Powdered Sugar
2 teaspoons Instant Clearjelor 4teaspoonsEZ Gel(Make sure the instant clearjel is INSTANT. See Note Section)
Whisk the Powdered Sugar and Instant Clearjel together. (Instant Clearjel must always be whisked with dry ingredients before adding to liquid to avoid clumping).
Using a whip attachment and a stand mixer (preferred) or handheld mixer, whip the Heavy Cream and Pure Vanilla until stiff peaks form.
Turn the mixer on low, and slowly add in the Powdered Sugar/ Instant Clearjel mixture until incorporated. The Instant Clearjel will thicken the whipped cream instantly, which is why we want to make sure the whipped cream is nicely whipped and fluffy before we add in our thickener.
Keep refrigerated. Enjoy!
Notes
Read my article Instant Clearjel: a Magical Little-Known Bakery Ingredient to see why I think this ingredient is worth having in your pantry. Instant Clearjel must always be whisked thoroughly with other dry ingredients before added to wet ingredients to avoid clumping. Make sure what use is labeled as “Instant.” Cooktyle or Original Clearjel is a different product that does not work the same. EZ Gel works as a great substitute in a 2x ratio.
