  1           envelope  knox unflavored gelatine
     1/4           cup  cold water
  2               cups  whipped or heavy cream
     1/2           cup  powdered sugar

Preparation:

Chill large mixing bowl at least 15 minutes. Meanwhile, in small saucepan, sprinkle unflavored gelatine over cold water; let stand 1 minute. Stir over low heat until gelatine is completely dissolved, about 2 minutes. In chilled bowl, while beating cream on low speed, gradually add gelatine mixture, then beat on medium speed until thickened, about 5 minutes. Add sugar, then speed until soft peaks form, about 2 minutes. HINT: If you plan to pipe the cream, whip cream until stiff peaks form. VARIATION: for a flavored whipped cream, simply add your favorite extracts or liqueurs, to taste, with gelatine mixture, then proceed as above.
