Whipped Cream Cheese Frosting

Published by at 8:50 am under cupcakes,Dessert,Kid-Friendly

1- 8 oz. pkg cream cheese
1 cup powdered sugar
1/8 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
1-1/2 cups heavy whipping cream

In a large bowl, combine all ingredients and beat until smooth.

In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, salt and vanilla until smooth. In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Add to the cream cheese mixture and whip just to combine – about 30 seconds.

Yep, that’s it.

Be careful when whipping the cream that you don’t over whip it and make butter. Starting with a well-chilled metal bowl helps.

If you are planning to pipe it for decorating, chill it for at least 1 hour.

If you want to color it, add the color when the cream is just starting to firm up, or paint stripes of color down the sides of the bag for a fun effect.

Yes, this is the same frosting from the cinnamon rolls, but it is so buried in that post that people have asked that I post it by itself.  So, here it is!  I also use this just about any time I need a good frosting.

    I really enjoy the vanilla flavor for the frosting, especially around october with pumpkin muffins. I have to say making your own whipped cream is the best though, the flavors ‘fresher’ in my opinion.. and you can flavor things up a bit easier.

    I’d check out a site like Whip Its .org (found them just clicking around for ‘whip-its’, one of the brands.) or maybe search for “whipped cream dispensers”

    Anyway, delicious recipe!

    Sincerely,

    Joe Ann
