Hi all,

I see a lot of cheescake recipes that call for cool whip or frozen whipped topping, but I live in Australia and have no idea what this is or what I could use … please help ??

Thanks

Stabilized Whipped Cream (substitute for Cool Whip)

For an unsweetened version of this whipped cream, just omit the sugar.

Makes 12 to 16 servings

1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin (from a ¼-ounce envelope)

2 tablespoons cold water

2 cups whipping cream

½ cup confectioners’ sugar, or to taste

Off heat, in the top of a double boiler or a bowl that can fit on top of a saucepan, sprinkle gelatin over water and let sit for 5 minutes. Place over a pot of simmering water and stir until gelatin dissolves. Remove from heat and set aside to cool briefly.

In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat cream until foamy. Add sugar a tablespoon at a time until cream is of desired sweetness and soft peaks just begin to form. Add the gelatin mixture and continue beating until cream is of desired consistency.
