Why You’ll Love This Recipe

  • Quick & Easy: Ready in minutes with no cooking required.
  • Light & Fluffy: The perfect balance of creamy and airy.
  • Versatile: Ideal for cakes, cupcakes, cookies, or as a dip.
  • Customizable: Add flavors, colors, or mix-ins to make it your own.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup heavy cream (cold)
  • ½ cup powdered sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Optional Add-Ins:

  • 1–2 tbsp cream cheese (for tang)
  • ½ tsp almond extract (for depth)
  • Food coloring (to match theme)
  • Sprinkles or shaved chocolate (for decoration)

Instructions

  1. Chill Your Tools: Place mixing bowl and beaters (or whisk) in the freezer for 5–10 minutes. Cold tools help the cream whip faster and hold its shape.
  2. Whip the Cream: In the chilled bowl, add heavy cream, powdered sugar, vanilla, and salt. Beat on medium speed for 2–3 minutes until soft peaks form.
  3. Finish Whipping: Increase speed to high and whip 1–2 minutes more until stiff peaks form. Do not overwhip, or it may turn grainy or butter-like.

 

This frosting is like a sweet vanilla cloud — spread it on cakes, cupcakes, or enjoy it as a dip!
