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.

Tips:

  • Use chilled heavy cream and cream cheese to ensure the frosting whips up light and fluffy.
  • Beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy before adding the heavy cream. This will help prevent lumps.
  • Add the powdered sugar gradually, beating well after each addition. This will help prevent the frosting from becoming too thick or thin.
  • For a creamier frosting, chill it for at least 30 minutes before using.
  • If the frosting is too thick, add a little more heavy cream. If the frosting is too thin, add a little more powdered sugar.
  • Flavor the frosting with extracts, spices, or cocoa powder to create different variations.
  • Use whipped frosting to frost cakes, cupcakes, or cookies. It can also be used as a filling for pies and pastries.
