The fluffy sweetness of this delectable whipped cream cheese frosting makes any kind of cake something extraordinary! Just try it and see!
This is my favorite frosting during the summer! My favorite kind of cake to put whipped cream cheese frosting on is lemon cake, but it would be awesome on just about any kind of cake. I also prefer to use this cream cheese frosting on cupcakes opposed to a layer cake. It is very soft and fluffy and I don't think it would do well between to layers of cake, but would be fine on the outsides. Give this yummy whipped cream cheese frosting a try and let me know what you think!
In a medium mixing bowl beat the cream cheese, sifted powdered sugar, salt, and vanilla until completely smooth.
In another bowl beat the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight. Pipe onto your completely cool cupcakes any way you would like. I personally use a large 2D tip. Place the frosted cupcakes back in the fridge until you are ready to serve them.
