Chocolate Whipped Cream Frosting
As much as I am a sweet lover, I’ve never quite fallen for traditional buttercream cake frosting. There’s a really fine line between thick sugary goodness and well -- yuck. There isn’t a lot of wiggle room.
Whipped frosting is the perfect topping in my book. Sweet, smooth and chocolatey – check. But not so cloying that it feels dentist-worthy with every bite. Now that’s balance.
Light and fluffy chocolate whipped cream frosting is delicious on cupcakes, pie, brownies and fruit. The best part is when you make it at home, you know all of the ingredients are fresh and chemical-free.
This recipe is so easy you'll never buy frozen whipped topping in a tub again.
I placed a dollop on top of dark chocolate cupcakes with chocolate sprinkles.
