Recipe: Whipped Dessert Topping (using nonfat dry milk and gelatin)

WHIPPED DESSERT TOPPING

1 tsp unflavored gelatin
2 tsp cold water
3 tbsp boiling water
1/2 cup ice water
1/2 cup nonfat dry milk powder
3 tbsp sugar
3 tbsp vegetable oil

Thoroughly chill a small mixing bowl in the refrigerator.

In another small bowl, soften gelatin with 2 tsp of cold water, then add boiling water, stirring, until gelatin is completely dissolved. Set aside and cool until tepid.

In a chilled mixing bowl, beat ice water and nonfat dry milk at high speed until mixture forms stiff peaks. Add sugar, still beating, then oil and gelatin.

Cover and freeze for about 15 minutes, then transfer to refrigerator until ready for use.

Stir before using to retain a creamy texture.
