How to Make Whipped Dessert Topping

  1. Chill a medium-sized mixing bowl in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
  2. In a small bowl, sprinkle 1 teaspoon of unflavored gelatin over 2 teaspoons of cold water. Let it bloom for 5 minutes.
  3. Add 1/4 cup of boiling water to the bloomed gelatin and stir until completely dissolved. Set aside to cool until lukewarm (about 10 minutes).
  4. In the chilled mixing bowl, beat 1/2 cup ice water and 1/4 cup nonfat dry milk powder with an electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form (about 3-5 minutes).
  5. Gradually add 1/4 cup granulated sugar while continuing to beat.
  6. Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and the cooled gelatin mixture. Beat until well combined.
  7. Cover the bowl and freeze for 15 minutes to slightly firm up the topping. Then, transfer to the refrigerator to chill until ready to serve. Stir gently before using to maintain a smooth, creamy texture.
