Weigh your dry ingredients in grams with a scale for best results!
Ingredients
- 1 carton Dairy Free Whipping Cream (473 ml carton / 1 pint)
- 120 grams Icing Sugar (1 cup)
- 1 tsp Vanilla Bean Paste (optional)
Instructions
Prep:
- Chill your mixing bowl and mixer attachments for at least 10 minutes before making this whipped cream icing. Freeze for 10 minutes or pop in the fridge for 30 minutes. The whipping cream should also be kept cold until you are ready to use it.
- Sieve your icing sugar to ensure all lumps are removed.
To Make the Whipped Cream Icing
- Remove the cold mixing bowl and attachments from the freezer/fridge. Add the entire carton of whipping cream (473 ml / 1 pint) to the mixing bowl and whisk until it become frothy and starts to thicken up.
- Add in 120 grams (1 cup) of icing sugar and 1 tsp of vanilla bean paste. Continue to whip until the ingredients reach the desired consistency. It usually takes about 1-2 minutes to firm up to a medium/firm peak.
- Use immediately.

Notes
- This whipped cream should be used immediately as it will start to soften when exposed to heat. If you are going to pipe on cupcakes or a cake, I highly recommend storing them in the fridge as soon as you have frosted them. Remove just before serving.
- Whip the cream until you reach the desired consistency. If you wish to pipe on cupcakes, whip it for longer to incorporate more air into the icing. Please note that this is not a heat resistant whipping cream and, as such, decorated items should not be left outside for a prolonged period. Ideally, remove your finished dessert from the fridge and serve immediately.
- Store any unused whipped cream icing in an air tight container in the fridge for 1 week. You can also freeze it and re-whip it once you are ready to use it.
- Add any flavouring of your choice to this recipe. You can also add 1 tbsp of cocoa powder to create chocolate whipped cream (so good!).
