WHIPPED CREAM FROSTING

the_cakery19

As a baker, obviously I love making frostings. Normally, people think frosting is difficult but trust me it's so much easier to make than you think. And both the flavor and texture come out beautifully than the stuff we get out of the can at the store.

People loves truffle frostings (chocolate ones) and it's easy to understand, why? But sometimes people need a frosting which is lil' bit lighter than chocolate ganache. 

That's where whipped cream frosting comes in. Whether it's much easier to spread on a delight cake and is something which is less sweet. A stabilized whipped cream can help you make a cake of your dreams.

HOW TO MAKE HOMEMADE WHIPPED CREAM

1. COLD HEAVY CREAM: The colder the cream, the more successful it will whip. Cold cream creates the lightest whipped cream. For more better results, we can even chill the mixing bowl and whisk attachment in the freeze for about 30mins.

2. WHIP HEAVY CREAM, VANILLA EXTRACT ON MEDIUM-HIGH SPEED: Whipping the cream at medium speed till it gets soft peaks, and then at high speed till it is nicely whipped. Only whipping at high speed or low speed easily over whips or under whips the cream respectively.

3. OBSERVE FOR MEDIUM PEAKS: Whipped cream only takes a couple minutes, but it's only take few seconds between soft whipped cream and over whipped cream. Over whipped cream is curdled whereas soft whipped cream has a smooth texture. Don't be afraid to stop the beater and check the consistency of your whipped cream as you go.
