Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup sour cream
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch (optional, for added thickness)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is smooth.
In a separate chilled bowl, use an electric mixer to whip the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar together until stiff peaks form. This usually takes 3-5 minutes.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the sour cream mixture using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix to maintain the light texture.
If the filling is too runny and you prefer a thicker consistency, sift in the optional cornstarch and mix gently until fully incorporated.
Chill the filling in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before using. It will firm up slightly as it chills.
Spread the filling between cake layers or use as desired for cupcakes or pastries. Enjoy!
