I thought thickened cream is just normal (pure) cream with gelatin added. Don't know the amounts though as I've never tried to do it!

What are you using it for? Maybe you could whip the pure cream slightly before using?

That is my belief too ... I would be too scared to do it. Gelatin and I generally result in bricks lol

I reckon if you have it just use straight cream I think e only difference is it might be a bit more icy.

I always use the pure cream (without the additives). Regardless of the recipe I follow, the result seems the same. Even what they call thickened cream seems fairly runny to me.
