Ingredients:

For the Whipped Cream Frosting:

• 2 cups heavy whipping cream, cold
• ½ cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon instant vanilla pudding mix (optional, for stability)

Directions:

1. Begin by preparing your equipment. Select a mixing bowl and place it in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes before starting. Cold equipment helps the cream whip up faster and more effectively.
2. Remove the chilled bowl and attach the whisk attachment to your electric mixer. Pour in the cold heavy whipping cream, ensuring there are no warm ingredients nearby that might affect the cream's ability to whip.
3. Start beating the cream on medium speed. Watch carefully as the cream begins to thicken. This initial stage takes about 2 minutes and transforms the liquid cream into a soft, billowy mixture.
4. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract. If you're using the optional instant pudding mix for added stability, now is the time to include it. The pudding mix helps the frosting hold its shape longer, especially if you plan to pipe it or keep it out for a while.
5. Increase the mixer speed to high. Continue beating the mixture, watching it carefully. The cream will continue to thicken and become more voluminous. Keep a close eye on the process – you're looking for stiff peaks.
6. Stop beating when the whipped cream forms stiff peaks. This means when you lift the beaters, the cream stands up in firm, sharp points. Be cautious not to overbeat, as this can cause the cream to turn grainy and ultimately separate.

Ready to Use!

Before serving, add a final touch by spreading or piping the frosting onto your favorite desserts.

Storage Solutions:

• Best used immediately for optimal texture
• Can be stored in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours
• Gently re-whip if separation occurs
• Not recommended for long-term storage
• Use within the same day for best results
