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

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

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.

Time 10m

Yield 1 13 x 9 cake

Number Of Ingredients 2

2 pints heavy whipping cream
3 ounces instant pudding mix, any flavor

Steps:

  • Combine pudding mix and whipping cream.
  • beat with electric mixer on high for 10 minutes.
  • spread on cooled cake.
  • store cake in refrigator.

Nutrition Facts : Calories 3605.1, Fat 352.8, SaturatedFat 219.6, Cholesterol 1304.2, Sodium 1587.4, Carbohydrate 105.6, Sugar 80.1, Protein 19.5

Tips:

  • Use the right cream. Heavy cream or whipping cream with a fat content of at least 35% is best for making whipped cream frosting.
  • Chill the cream and beaters. Chilling the cream and beaters helps the cream whip up faster and more easily.
  • Beat the cream gradually. Start beating the cream on low speed and gradually increase the speed as the cream thickens.
  • Don't overbeat the cream. Overwhipped cream will become stiff and grainy.
  • Add flavorings after the cream has thickened. This will help prevent the cream from deflating.
  • Use whipped cream frosting immediately. Whipped cream frosting is best used immediately after it is made, as it will start to deflate after a few hours.

Conclusion:

Whipped cream frosting is a delicious and versatile frosting that can be used to frost cakes, cupcakes, pies, and other desserts. It is easy to make and can be flavored with a variety of ingredients, making it a perfect choice for any occasion.
