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

Yield 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 4

Ingredients

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.

STURDY WHIPPED CREAM FROSTING

Sturdy Whipped Cream Frosting image

This is a YUMMY whipped cream frosting that is very stable and does not melt at room temperature unlike many standard whipped cream frostings. It also makes a GREAT dip for fresh fruit -- not too sweet, just right! This recipe is GREAT for a stand mixer but will work with any good mixer.
