Here’s my simple recipe for fresh and light sugar-free whipped frosting that calls for only 4 ingredients: heavy whipping cream, sour cream, vanilla extract, and honey:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup sour cream (up to 1 cup)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Honey, to taste (start with 2-3 tablespoons and adjust as desired)
Instructions:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream, sour cream, and vanilla extract.
- Using an electric mixer or whisk, beat the mixture on medium-high speed until it starts to thicken.
- Gradually add honey to the mixture, starting with 2-3 tablespoons. Taste the frosting and add more honey if desired for extra sweetness.
- Continue beating the mixture until it reaches a fluffy, whipped consistency, with soft peaks forming.
- Once the frosting is ready, use it immediately to frost your desired cake or cupcakes.
- Store any leftover frosting in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
Note: It’s important to keep the frosting refrigerated until ready to use, as it contains dairy ingredients. The frosting can be made ahead of time, but it’s best to re-whip it briefly before using to regain its fluffy texture.
Enjoy your homemade sugar-free whipped frosting as a delightful and healthier option for your favorite cakes and treats!
PRO TIPS:
