Whipped Cream Frosting

I wanted to come up with a frosting that was light and airy, whipped cream with a touch of cream cheese flavor. This frosting is like eating a little cream cheese-y cloud on top of a cupcake. This is a perfect topping for almost any cake.

Ingredients

• 8 ounces of cream cheese, softened
• 4 Tablespoon heavy cream
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• pinch of salt
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• 1-1/2 cups heavy cream

Directions

1. In the bowl of an electric mixer, mix together the cream cheese, heavy cream, powdered sugar, salt and vanilla. Mix until well blended. Set aside.
2. In a separate bowl whip the heavy cream on high, just until almost stiff, not all the way. Add in the cream cheese mixture and whip up again. Don’t overdo it, or you’ll get a curdled look, not so pretty for cupcakes. Fold the frosting to make sure everything is incorporated.
3. Now you’re ready to pipe or frost!
