Whipped Cream Frosting Recipe
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.
