Whipped Cream and Cream Cheese Frosting

I made some white batter cupcakes this weekend and wanted to top them off with some white icing.  Something simple but not my usual favorite Buttercream Frosting {my mom's recipe which is absolute fluffy perfection}.  Whipped cream seemed to easy.....cream cheese frosting too blah but combining them both produced the recipe below which is light and tasty!

Ingredients

• 8 ounce package of cream cheese ~ softened
• ½ cup white sugar
• 1 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups whipping cream

Instructions

• Combine softened cream cheese, sugar and vanilla extract in mixer and beat on medium speed until fully blended and smooth.
• With mixer on medium high speed slowly add the whipping cream stopping the mixer to scrape the sides occasionally.
• Whip until stiff peaks form. The peaks will be slightly more substantial than a normal whipped cream peak.

Notes

I like to keep my mixing bowl and whisk attachment or beater{s} in the freezer for about 30 minutes before making any recipe with whipping cream. This helps everything to whip better and quicker.
