Dreamy Whipped Frosting Recipes

Steps:

• Place a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer in the freezer until cold, about 5 minutes. Alternatively, fill the bowl with ice water and let stand for 5 minutes. Pour out the ice water and quickly wipe the bowl dry.
• Sift the sugar and powdered milk into the chilled bowl, then add the cold cream and vanilla. Whip the mixture on high speed until stiff, but smooth peaks form, about 2 minutes. If you accidentally overwhip, the peaks will look like they are cracking. Add about a tablespoon more heavy cream and hand whip the frosting until it smooths out.
• The recipe makes enough frosting to generously top 24 cupcakes or to cover two 8-inch-round cakes, plus extra to pipe decorations. Unrefrigerated, the frosting will hold its shape for up to 6 hours.

Steps:

• Beat all ingredients until moistened.
• Beat frosting on high 4-5 minutes until soft peaks form.
• Frost cooled dream whip cake.
• Refrigerate leftovers.

Steps:

• Combine 1/3 cup milk, vanilla, and Dream Whip in large bowl.
• Add half of sugar; blend well. Whip rapidly until thickened-about 2 minutes.
• At medium speed alternately add remaining sugar and milk; beat after each addition.
• Add butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating well.
• Makes 2 3/4 cups, enough for 8- or 9-inch layer cake or 24 cupcakes.
• LEMON OR ORANGE BUTTER FROSTING.
• Prepare as above; omit vanilla and substitute 2 tablespoons lemon or orange juice for the 2 tablespoons milk. Add 1 teaspoon grated lemon or orange rind after beating in butter.

Steps:

• Combine the cream cheese, sugar, vanilla extract and almond extract in a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer. Fit the mixer with the whisk attachment and mix on medium speed until smooth. While the mixture is still whipping, slowly pour in the heavy cream. Stop and scrape the bottom of the bowl a couple of times while you continue whipping until the cream can hold a stiff peak.
