Ingredients

24 servings
  • 8 oz cream cheese (at room temperature)
  • 2 cups powdered sugar ((confectioners sugar))
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream ((keep chilled until ready to use))
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Steps

  1. In a large mixing bowl with an electric hand mixer, whip the cold heavy cream on high speed (1-2 minutes) until thick, fluffy and spreadable.

  2. In a second mixing bowl (using the same electric mixer - no need to wash it), beat cream cheese and powdered sugar. Start on low speed to incorporate then beat on high speed for 2 minutes until creamy and whipped, then beat in 1 tsp vanilla extract

  3. Use a spatula to gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mix until well blended. Pipe onto cooled cupcakes or cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
