Silky Creme Fraiche Whipped Cream image

A little créme fraiche adds a pleasant tang to an otherwise plain whipped cream, and the small amount of gelatin brings double the benefits: it makes it silky-smooth and a dream to work with for piping on Martha's Roberta Heart Cakes. It also stabilizes the mixture so it will stay fluffy and scoopable for days.
