- 1 tablespoon powdered gelatin
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 1/4 cup sugar

Great Flavor. I made this cream as the filling for a chiffon cake. It came out great. It made just enough to spread a 9inch round cake (one layer. I added a bit more whipped cream to soften the consistency a bit. The vanilla adds a great flavor. It is a quite rich filling though. Would go great with strawberries. will make again!

This is an excellent recipe, i mad a mistake in purchasing the ingredients, i didn't have a vanilla bean i don't doubt that is wouldn't be better,but my store didn't haveone,so i put in a teaspoon of vanilla and let it soak in the cream, and I bought whipping cream, i did have whipped cream on hand though,so all was saved, also,when i bought the heavy cream,i had a lot left over,so i made another 1/2 recipe at the same time, fantastic , i was looking for a cream for my cream puffs and it was excellent!! YA HOO!! also I agree that this recipe is not enough for 6 people.

Amazing, but it did set up really fast. I did layers of strawberries and the cream into a wine glass. Since it started to firm up so fast, I used a piping bag to put it into the glass. YUM
