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:

  • For a richer frosting, use heavy cream instead of milk.
  • Use cold ingredients for a lighter and fluffier frosting.
  • Whip the cream until it forms stiff peaks for a stable frosting.
  • Add flavorings such as vanilla extract, chocolate syrup, or fruit purée to taste.
  • If the frosting is too thick, add a little milk or water to thin it out.
  • If the frosting is too thin, whip it for a few more minutes until it thickens.
  • Use the frosting immediately or store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.

Conclusion:

Whipped cream mousse frosting is a versatile and delicious frosting that can be used to top cakes, cupcakes, pies, and other desserts. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a light and fluffy frosting that will elevate any dessert.
