Ingredients

  • 3/4 teaspoon unflavored gelatin
  • 1 tablespoon cold water
  • 1/2 cup nonfat dry milk powder
  • 1/2 cup ice water
  • 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla or 1 teaspoon other flavoring

Method

  • Soften the gelatin in the cold water in a small heatproof measuring cup.
  • Set the cup in a pan of simmering water and heat about 4 minutes until the gelatin dissolves; remove from heat. (or microwave for about 10 seconds).
  • Combine the dry milk, ice water, and confectioner's sugar in the chilled small bowl of an electric mixer, then beat with chilled beaters at medium speed until foamy.
  • With the motor running, carefully pour the gelatin down the side of the bowl so that it doesn't hit the beaters and spatter all over.
  • Continue beating at medium speed for 7 to 10 minutes until it is the texture of whipped cream, then beat in the vanilla.
  • If not used immediately, store in the refrigerator or freeze in desired shapes.
  • The mixture deflates on standing and may be re-whipped. Allow 1/2 cup frozen topping to thaw about 15 minutes before serving.
