Two tablespoons powdered sugar Sweetens without graininess and blends seamlessly into the cream
Two tablespoons strawberry Jello powder Adds fruity flavor and a pretty pink hue Choose a good quality Jello brand for the best taste and color
Step-by-Step Instructions
Scoop and chill the gear
Place a metal mixing bowl and beaters in the freezer for 15 minutes to ensure everything is nice and cold. Cold equipment helps the cream whip faster and achieve better volume.
Mix the magic
Remove the bowl and beaters from the freezer. Pour the cold heavy cream into the bowl, then add the powdered sugar and strawberry Jello powder. This is where your dessert starts coming together.
Whip until peaks form
Using an electric mixer, whip on high speed for 4 to 5 minutes. Look for stiff peaks meaning when you lift the beaters, the cream holds its shape firmly. This is the perfect consistency for serving.
Serve or store
You can enjoy it immediately for the freshest whipped texture or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. It is still tasty but may soften a bit over time.
