Whipping Cream Frosting

Whipping cream frosting is a light, airy, and mildly sweet topping made by beating heavy cream until it forms soft or stiff peaks. It's perfect for cakes, cupcakes, and fruit desserts where a delicate, not-too-sweet finish is desired. Often flavored with vanilla or sugar, it offers a fresh, creamy texture and must be kept chilled to maintain its shape.

Ingredients

• Liquid whipping cream / heavy whipping cream – 1 cup
• Icing sugar / powdered sugar – 1/2 cup (adjust to taste; 2–3 tablespoons for less sweetness)
• Milk powder – 1 tablespoon (optional)

Stabilizer Options (per 1 cup whipping cream):

• Clear piping gel – 2 tablespoons
• Jell-O pudding mix – 1 tablespoon + 1/2 teaspoon
• Cream cheese – 1/4 cup
• Mascarpone cheese – 3 oz
• Halal gelatin powder or agar-agar powder – 1 teaspoon

Note: Clear piping gel and pudding mix can be added directly. Agar-agar or gelatin powder must be bloomed in cold water for 5 minutes, then microwaved for about 5 seconds until fully dissolved and liquid before using.
