Grandma's Secret Trick
Grandma's Secret Trick
For a special treat, Grandma sometimes made almond-flavored whipped cream for topping the gelatin instead of serving it with ice cream. She whipped 1/2 pint of whipping cream with 3 tablespoons of sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of almond extract until soft peaks formed, then refrigerated the whipped cream until serving time.
