Sturdy Whipped Cream Frosting Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 ounce cream cheese
- 1 3/4 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin
- 3 tablespoons boiling water
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
Instructions
- Chill a metal bowl and wire whisk beater in the freezer for 15 minutes to ensure the cream whips up nicely.
- In a small bowl, dissolve 1 tablespoon of unflavored gelatin in 3 tablespoons of boiling water and set it aside to cool slightly.
- In a separate bowl, combine 1 ounce of cream cheese, 1 3/4 cups powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/2 teaspoon almond extract. Beat the ingredients together until smooth and creamy.
- Once the bowl is chilled, pour in 2 cups of heavy whipping cream. Start beating on a slow speed, then gradually increase as the cream thickens.
- As soft peaks begin to form, slowly add the dissolved gelatin mixture. Continue beating on high until firm peaks form and the frosting holds its shape well.
- Finally, gently fold the cream cheese mixture into the whipped cream, taking care to keep the mixture light and airy.
