Okay…..there are a couple tips I usually add to a frosting post. But neither of them apply to this frosting. I’m going to go ahead and add them but just know that since this Whipped Cream Frosting is made with cream cheese (no butter) and whipping cream there’s no need to follow my tips for a fluffy frosting or the freezing method. With that being said I’m still going to add those tips because they might come in handy for another frosting recipe.
BUT FIRST……the cupcake I added this frosting to is….DARK CHOCOLATE STRAWBERRY CUPCAKES!

These amazing cupcakes are so incredibly delicious and perfect for so many different occasions. Click here for the recipe—->>>> DARK CHOCOLATE STRAWBERRY CUPCAKES.
TIPS FOR A LIGHT AND FLUFFY FROSTING
- Good ingredients “real” butter not margarine
- Room temperature ingredients
- Be patient…you’ll need to whip the frosting at least 3 to 5 minutes (sometimes I do this step twice). This will allow air to incorporate into the butter and create the lightness you want.
- That’s it! It’s really not as hard as you might think
You can freeze frosting? Making homemade cupcakes and frosting just got a whole lot easier! To freeze your frosting: Spoon the frosting into a labeled zip top bag and freeze. When ready to use, place the bag on the counter to come to room temperature. Spoon into a large mixing bowl. Whip for 3 to 5 minutes. This is to incorporate air into the frosting for a light and fluffy texture.
Fluffy Chocolate Whipped Cream Frosting
A light and creamy low sugar frosting.
Ingredients
- 1 (8 ounce) cream cheese, softened
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2/3 cup dark cocoa powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon water
- 2 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
Instructions
Using the whisk attachment combine the cream cheese, sugar, cocoa, vanilla and water. Mix until well combined. While the mixer is on low, slowly pour in the heavy cream. Once all the cream has been added turn the mixer on medium high to high (make sure to stop a couple of times to scrap down the sides and bottom), until the cream can hold a stiff peak. Always store this frosting in the refrigerator.

will this work with a whisk by hand ? should I make the whipped cream separately and fold it in ?
Hi Nancy, It would work but it would be A LOT of work. Yes, I would whisk together the cream cheese, sugar, cocoa and vanilla. Get it nice and creamy and then whisk the heavy whipping cream in a separate bowl and then fold the whipping cream into the cream cheese mixture.
How many servings would be needed for 2 9 inch round single layer cakes? I was thinking the base recipe would work on it but want to make sure.
Hi Joey, I think you’re right.
