When necessary, I provide all of the ingredients in this recipe and all of my recipes in grams and mL (milliliters). I also provide the ingredient quantities in METRIC cup measurements. Be aware, though, that different nations use different cup and spoon sizes. As a result, I strongly advise measuring ingredients with kitchen scales when necessary in order to achieve the recipe’s objectives.
A great eggless substitute for buttercream and other frosting recipes like Swiss Meringue and Italian Buttercream is whipped cream or whipping cream frosting. Whipped cream frosting is quick, simple and easy to make. It only takes three ingredients to create a delicious cream frosting that is light and fluffy and stable enough to pipe onto desserts and cakes.
Whipped Cream frosting should be used immediately for best results. Over time, whipped cream will start to lose its stiffness and soften, making it more difficult to pipe decorations and for them to keep their shape. When whipped cream is used right away, you can easily pipe defined shapes and decorations. You must also refrigerate the decorated desserts. For reasons of food safety, whipped cream should only be left at room temperature for a maximum of 1-2 hours. It should also be consumed within 24-48 hours maximum.
Whipped cream can easily be ruined by over mixing. By pausing to check for firmness during the whipping stages, you can avoid over-whipping when making homemade whipped cream. Whipped cream should only take a few minutes to make. To determine when to stop whisking, pay close attention to how the thickened cream changes. When whisking, thickened cream will initially bubble up, then it will start to thicken and form visible ripples in the frosting after about 1-2 minutes. You must stop whisking once the ripples become thicker and more noticeable. Even an additional few seconds of mixing at this point risks ruining the whipped cream.
For two primary reasons, the thickened cream in this recipe needs to be cold. The first reason is due to food safety. Because thickened cream or heavy cream contains milk products, it should be stored in the refrigerator rather than at room temperature for food safety reasons. The thickened cream should be cold for two additional reasons: to aid in the whipping process and stabilize the frosting. At low temperatures, whipped cream will keep its stability and shape. It will be more challenging to achieve a stable and thick consistency in hot or warm environments.
Set your mixer to the whipping setting and whip your cream for about five minutes, or until stiff peaks form. If you find that your black color is not yet sufficiently dark after mixing begins, gradually add a few more drops of food coloring or a little more paste while the mixer is running. Continue until you reach the desired shade of black.
Before making your whipping cream, put your mixing bowl and whipping attachment in the freezer for 15 minutes. Heavy or whipping cream should be kept in the refrigerator until just before use. Your whipped cream will blend better if the bowl, attachment, and cream are colder. Set the bowl and attachment in place and assemble the stand mixer.
Large amounts of black food coloring can produce a mildly bitter taste. To make up for this, think about beginning with an additional tablespoon of powdered sugar or a small amount of cocoa powder for chocolate whipped cream.
Fill the chilled mixing bowl with the ingredients for your whipped cream, which are typically heavy or whipping cream, vanilla, and powdered sugar. If using a paste, insert a toothpick into the paste to collect a small amount to add before mixing, or add one to two drops of liquid black food coloring.
When stiff peaks begin to form, turn on the mixer and continue to whip for three to five minutes.
