Notes

Tips
  • Use high quality organic heavy whipping cream. My favorite is Organic Valley!
  • Whipped Cream Frosting is similar to making homemade whipped cream, so if you've done that before then you got this in the bag! It's a very easy frosting to make and it whips up in just a few minutes in a stand mixer. It will take longer with a hand mixer.
  • Make sure to serve this immediately or store whatever you made with it in the fridge as the cream needs to be refrigerated.
High Altitude — Follow the recipe as noted.
