This whipped cream frosting is yummy and very stable. It does not melt at room temperature like many standard whipped cream frostings. This recipe is great for a stand mixer but any good mixer will work.

Cook’s Note

This whipped cream frosting recipe makes enough to cover a 9-inch (2-layer) round cake, or a 9x12-inch sheet pan cake, or 24 cupcakes.

It also makes a great dip for fresh fruit — not too sweet, just right!
