Whipped Cream Frosting Recipe

whipped cream frosting

This Whipped Cream Frosting makes the perfect whipped cream that will keep in the refrigerator several hours without separating.

It is thick and creamy and oh so good. You can use it as a filling for cakes, as a frosting, you can pipe it, or it can be used simply as an accompaniment to a slice of pie, a bowl of fresh fruit, or to garnish a pudding.

I have included recipes for vanilla flavored whipped cream (also called Chantilly Cream), raspberry, strawberry, lemon, chocolate, and even a mocha flavored whipped cream.

Procedure:

Whipped Cream Frosting: Place your mixing bowl and wire whisk in the freezer for about 15-30 minutes. Then place all the ingredients in the cold bowl and beat just until stiff peaks form. If not using immediately, cover and refrigerate. Makes about 2 cups (480 ml) whipped cream.

Raspberry Whipped Cream: Make the whipped cream frosting but beat only until very soft peaks form. Then add the  raspberry puree or jam, and beat just until stiff peaks form. Taste and fold in more sugar or puree, as needed. If not using immediately, cover and refrigerate. Makes about 2 cups (480 ml) whipped cream.

Chocolate Whipped Cream: Place your mixing bowl and wire whisk in the freezer for about 15-30 minutes. Place the vanilla extract, 3 tablespoons of sugar, and cocoa powder in the cold bowl.
