Stabilised whipped cream
Stabilised whipped cream is regular whipped cream with an ingredient added which makes it hold its form far better than regular whipped cream which starts to deflate within 30 minutes. It will stay aerated, fluffy, and won't weep so you can use it to decorate cakes, pipe onto cupcakes and layer on trifles the day before, and it looks perfect the next day. You can also whip it up today and leave it in a piping bag overnight or in a bowl, ready to use tomorrow.There's a handful of common ways to stabilise cream, and the 3 methods I use are in this recipe so choose the one that suits you.1 cup (250ml) whipping cream = 2 cups whipped
