Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
Instructions
Chill your mixing bowl and whisk attachment in the freezer for 10-15 minutes. This helps the cream whip faster and maintain its texture.
Once the bowl and whisk are chilled, pour the heavy whipping cream into the bowl.
Start mixing the cream on low speed using a stand mixer or handheld mixer. Gradually increase the speed to medium-high as the cream begins to thicken.
When the cream reaches soft peaks, add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract gradually, ensuring it blends evenly into the mixture.
Continue whipping the cream on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip, as it can turn into butter or become grainy.
Once the frosting holds its shape, it is ready to be used. Spread or pipe the whipped cream frosting onto cakes, cupcakes, or desserts as desired.
Store any unused frosting in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Rewhip if necessary before using.
