WHIPPED CREAM FROSTING



Whipped Cream Frosting image

Whipped cream is a light and simple option for frosting cakes and cupcakes, especially when paired with fresh fruit. The trick is making sure it doesn't get too soft before it's served. Some cooks mix in cream of tartar, which can add a sour note. We prefer powdered milk. It helps create a frosting that's stable enough for piping and layering without affecting the taste

Time 10m

Yield 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 4

1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
2 teaspoons non-fat or skim powdered milk
2 cups cold heavy whipping cream (see Cook's Note)
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Place a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer in the freezer until cold, about 5 minutes. Alternatively, fill the bowl with ice water and let stand for 5 minutes. Pour out the ice water and quickly wipe the bowl dry.
  • Sift the sugar and powdered milk into the chilled bowl, then add the cold cream and vanilla. Whip the mixture on high speed until stiff, but smooth peaks form, about 2 minutes. If you accidentally overwhip, the peaks will look like they are cracking. Add about a tablespoon more heavy cream and hand whip the frosting until it smooths out.
  • The recipe makes enough frosting to generously top 24 cupcakes or to cover two 8-inch-round cakes, plus extra to pipe decorations. Unrefrigerated, the frosting will hold its shape for up to 6 hours.

Tips:

  • Use cold ingredients: Cold butter, cream, and milk will help the frosting whip up lighter and fluffier.
  • Whip the frosting gradually: Start on low speed and gradually increase the speed as the frosting thickens. This will help prevent the frosting from curdling.
  • Add flavorings and extracts gradually: Start with a small amount and add more to taste. This will help you avoid overpowering the frosting.
  • Don't overbeat the frosting: Overbeaten frosting can become grainy and stiff. Whip the frosting just until it reaches the desired consistency.
  • Use the frosting immediately or store it in the refrigerator: Whipped frosting is best used immediately, but it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

With these tips in mind, you can easily make a delicious and fluffy whipped frosting that will perfectly complement your favorite cakes, cupcakes, and other desserts. So next time you're looking for a frosting that is easy to make and sure to impress, give this dreamy whipped frosting a try.
