Whipped Cream Frosting
In the world of frosting, this must be the easiest to make. It is so easy that all you need to do is put all the ingredients in your stand mixer, turn it on and watch the mixer do all the job for you. Whipped cream can be used both as a filling for cakes and to cover cakes. It is innocently rich and creamy with a certain lightness about it. No black forest cake is complete without whipped cream frosting.
Black Forest Cake Covered with Whipped Cream and Shaved Chocolate
INGREDIENTS:
(1) 1 Cup Whipping Cream
(2) 2 Tablespoons – 1/4 Cup Granulated White Sugar
(3) 1 Teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
Note: (1) The amount of sugar you use will depend on how sweet you want the frosting to be. (2) Whipping cream cream is cream with at least 33 % fat content.
PROCEDURE:
Note: The key to achieving the perfect whipped cream frosting is the temperature of the cream and your tools. Everything must be cold. This cannot be over-emphasized. While egg whites beat well at room temperature, whipping cream beats well when cold.
A. Stand Mixer
(1) In the bowl of your stand mixer, place your cold whipping cream, vanilla extract and sugar.
(2) Next, place the mixing bowl with its content in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, preferably an hour. You can go the extra mile by placing the whisk attachment of your stand mixer in the fridge too.
(3) After an hour, take out your mixing bowl and whisk attachment, fix it to the stand mixer and beat until your cream is whipped. Its that simple. Be careful not to whip the cream passed the whipped cream stage or you might end up separating the fat solids from the cream.
B. Copper Bowl
Copper bowls are one of the best mediums to use to whip whipping cream. To use copper bowls, place the whipping cream along with the icing sugar and vanilla extract in the copper bowl and place the bowl in the fridge for 30 minutes. Also place the whisk in the fridge. After 30 minutes, beat the whipping cream with the whisk until you get stiff peaks.
The whipped cream is ready to be used as is. Try it today with an Angel Food Cake. Recipe here.
You can also add about 1/3 cup of jams and other fillings to flavor your whipped cream frosting. To make chocolate whipped cream, add 1/3 cup of chocolate ganache (Recipe here) to the whipped cream and mix to combine.

I believe this question relates to my Tres Leches Cake Recipe. Please read the answers to some of the questions asked there. I dealt with this question extensively there. Thanks.
Thanks Terry, u r awesome. I tried the recipe but it melted b4 I could deliver the cake.so sad.plss how do I make the whipped cream last longer without melting.
Hi Uju. Sad to hear about your experience. This frosting does not do well in hot weather. Also make sure you beat it to stiff peaks and not just until it is whipped. That way it would hold shape. Some people also suggest adding some meringue powder to the frosting to stabilize it.
Thank you. I will do that. U r a darling
