WHIPPED CREAM FROSTING
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

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.

BOBBY FLAY'S PUMPKIN PIE WITH CINNAMON CRUNCH AND BOURBON-MAPLE WHIPPED CREAM
Provided by Bobby Flay
Categories dessert
Yield 1 (10-inch) pie, 6 to 8 servings
Number Of Ingredients 29
Steps:
- To make the cinnamon crunch, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Combine the flour, oats, muscovado sugar, and cinnamon in a food processor, and process a few times to combine. Add the butter and pulse until combined. Pat the mixture evenly into a 4-inch square on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake until golden brown and crisp, about 15 minutes. Remove and let cool. Transfer to a cutting board and chop into small pieces. Keep the oven on.
- To make the crust, combine the graham cracker crumbs, butter, and cinnamon in a bowl and mix until combined. Press evenly onto the bottom and sides of a 10-inch pie plate. Brush with the beaten egg. Bake until light golden brown and firm, about 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 300 degrees F.
- To make the filling, whisk the eggs, egg yolks, both sugars, and the molasses together in a medium bowl. Mix in the pumpkin puree, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and salt. Whisk in the heavy cream, milk, and vanilla seeds or extract. Strain the mixture through a coarse strainer into a bowl. Whisk in the butter.
- Place the pie plate on a baking sheet, pour the pumpkin mixture into the shell, and sprinkle additional cinnamon over the top. Bake until the filling is set around edges but the center still jiggles slightly when shaken, 45 to 60 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and cool to room temperature, about 2 hours.
- Cut the pie into slices and top each with a large dollop of whipped cream and some of the cinnamon crunch.
- Combine the cream, vanilla seeds, maple syrup, and bourbon, to taste, in a large chilled bowl, and whip until soft peaks form.
Tips for Making Perfect Whipped Cream:
- Use cold cream and beaters. This will help the cream whip up faster and produce stiffer peaks.
- Whip the cream in a chilled bowl. This will also help the cream whip up faster and prevent it from becoming grainy.
- Add sugar gradually. If you add too much sugar at once, the cream will become grainy.
- Don't overbeat the cream. Overbeaten cream will become stiff and grainy.
- Flavor the cream to your liking. You can add vanilla extract, cocoa powder, or other flavorings to taste.
Conclusion:
Whipped cream is a versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of desserts and recipes. By following these tips, you can make perfect whipped cream every time. Whether you're topping a pie, filling a trifle, or simply enjoying it on its own, whipped cream is a delicious and easy treat that everyone will love.
