Ingredients

  • 1 cup heavy cream

Directions

  6. Once stiff peaks have formed, the creamy whipped frosting is ready to be used. Spread it onto cakes, cupcakes, or cookies for a deliciously light and creamy treat.
  7. Store any leftover frosting in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
