The easiest stabilized whipped cream. 2 cups of heavy whipping cream, 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 2 tablespoons of clear piping gel. You can find the clear piping gel in the Wilton section at Walmart and it is very inexpensive. Whip cream until it has a little volume. Add sugar, vanilla and piping gel and continue whipping until it reaches the desired thickness. Once you try it this way, you'll never make it any other way.
