A basic whipped cream frosting/topping with variations. Often this simple frosting tastes the best on strawberry shortcakes, chocolate cakes, bread puddings etc
Ingredients
- 1 pint heavy cream, very cold shopping list
- 1/4 to 1 cup sifted powdered ( confectionary ) sugar to taste shopping list
- 1 - 2 teaspoon vanilla , or almond or flavor extract of choice( orange, lemon, anise etc etc ) shopping list
- Variations: shopping list
- Chocolate: 1/2 cup baking cocoa, sifted in with in the icing sugar shopping list
- Mocha/Expresso: 1 tablespoon instant coffee, mixed in the cream shopping list
- Alcoholic: 1 - 2 tbs rum, sherry, Kaluha etc etc shopping list
- Pudding flavor: 2 Tbs instant vanilla pudding powder shopping list
How to make it
- For best results make sure your cream is well chilled as well as your bowl and beaters esp if the kitchen is to warm
- Beat the cream frothy like egg whites and then gradually beat in the sugar until the mixture is desired stiffness( spreading cocsistency etc )
- Gently beat in the flavorings of choice
- If using cocoa or pudding powder, Combine with the sugar and beat into the cream
- Carefull to stop when you get the thickness /consistency.
- overbeating will cause the mixture to seize up and curdle
- Use this mixture to frost and fill cakes etc.or as a basic cream topping for cakes and desserts
- From personal experience a frosted cake will stay nice and fresh for several hours or over night if well chilled, placed in the back of the refrigerator shelf
