There is not a stabilizer added in this recipe.

Hello! You do not need a stabilizer to make whipped cream. If you beat heavy cream long enough you could make butter. If you're looking for a stabilizer to make your whipped cream last a long time, you can find packaged stabilizers in grocery stores.
