Ingredients

To create this luscious whipped cream frosting, you will need the following ingredients:

2 cups heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon gelatin (optional)
2 tablespoons cold water (if using gelatin)

Instructions

Follow these simple steps to whip your way to the perfect frosting:

Begin by chilling your mixing bowl and beaters in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes. This helps the cream whip faster and achieve a better texture.
In a small bowl, if using gelatin, sprinkle it over the cold water and let it bloom for about 5 minutes. After blooming, gently heat the mixture in the microwave for about 10 seconds until fully dissolved. Set aside to cool.
In the chilled mixing bowl, pour in the heavy whipping cream. Start whipping on low speed, gradually increasing to medium-high until it begins to thicken.
Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream while continuing to whip. If you are using gelatin, ensure it is cooled to room temperature before adding it in; this will help stabilize the whipped cream.
Continue to whip until soft peaks form. This should take about 3-5 minutes. Be cautious not to overwhip, as you want a smooth, creamy texture rather than grainy butter.
Once it reaches the desired consistency, your European Whipped Cream Frosting is ready! Use it immediately to frost cakes, cupcakes, or any dessert you desire.

This whipped cream frosting is incredibly versatile and pairs beautifully with chocolate, berries, and almost every cake flavor. Enjoy making it and delight in the compliments you’ll receive on your exquisite desserts!
