Notes

To stabilize whipped cream, add an ingredient such as cornstarch, cream of tartar, or powdered milk.
  • Cornstarch: Use 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed in with your other ingredients.
  • Cream of tartar: Use ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar.
  • Powdered milk: Use 2 teaspoons powdered milk.
Stabilized whipped cream holds its shape better than regular whipped cream, making it a great choice for icing cakes or keeping longer in the refrigerator.
