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.

Provided by Tom Parker

Categories     Desserts     Frostings and Icings

Time 15m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 cup white sugar
⅛ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ½ cups heavy cream

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar salt and vanilla until smooth. In a small bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Fold into the cream cheese mixture.

Nutrition Facts : Calories 233.3 calories, Carbohydrate 18 g, Cholesterol 61.3 mg, Fat 17.5 g, Protein 2 g, SaturatedFat 11 g, Sodium 90.8 mg, Sugar 16.8 g

Tips:

  • Use heavy cream that contains at least 36% butterfat for the best results.
  • Make sure the heavy cream is very cold before whipping it. You can chill it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or place it in the freezer for 15 minutes.
  • Use a metal bowl and whisk for whipping the cream. Cold metal helps the cream whip up faster and more easily.
  • Start whipping the cream on low speed and gradually increase the speed to high. This will help prevent the cream from splattering.
  • Whip the cream until it reaches stiff peaks. This means that when you lift the whisk out of the cream, the peaks will hold their shape.
  • If you are adding flavorings or extracts to the whipped cream, do so once the cream has reached soft peaks. This will help prevent the cream from curdling.
  • Store the whipped cream in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. If you are not going to use it right away, you can also freeze it for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:

Whipped cream frosting is a versatile and delicious frosting that can be used on a variety of desserts. It is easy to make and can be flavored with a variety of ingredients. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect whipped cream frosting every time.
