Ingredients

8oz Cream Cheese completely softened to room temperature
100 Grams (1/2 Cup) Granulated/ Caster Sugar
2 Teaspoons Pure Vanilla Extract
16oz (2 Cups) Heavy Whipping Cream

Steps:

While the mixer is still on medium-high speed very slowly pour/stream in the heavy cream. Whip for another couple of minutes after the cream has been added until you get a thick whipped cream texture do not over mix. You want stiff peaks. Use the frosting right away, store leftovers in the fridge.

ULTIMATE WHIPPED CREAM CHEESE FROSTING

Ultimate Whipped Cream Cheese Frosting image

I got this recipe on Pinterest; but when I tried it, it was every bit as good as reported, and better! I and my family absolutely love this one. This recipe makes a generous amount, so if you only want to frost 12 cupcakes or 1 layer cake...you for sure will want to 1/2 the recipe. I originally got the recipe...
