Light & Airy Whipped Cream Frosting

• portions: 1 serving
• temps actif: 15 minutes
• temps total: 15 minutes

Ingrédients

2 cups heavy whipping cream (cold)

16 oz cream cheese (2 blocks) (room temperature)

2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

3 cups powdered sugar (sifted) see note)

Instructions

Chill a large mixing bowl and the beaters of a hand mixer or stand mixer until ready to use.

When ready to prepare the frosting, remove the bowl from the fridge and pour in the heavy whipping cream.

Beat on medium speed until the cream can hold stiff peaks when you lift up the beaters. (You may need to reduce the speed of your mixer as the cream starts to thicken to prevent over-mixing) Set aside.

In another large bowl, add cream cheese and vanilla extract and mix on medium-high speed until light and creamy.

Mix in powdered sugar a little at a time until completely incorporated.

Gently fold in the whipped cream.

Chill for 30 minutes. Spread it on your favorite cake or cupcake! Store in the refrigerator.
