    Hi. If I want plain whipped cream frosting, can I just leave out the raspberry sauce? Thanks

      Yes, that will work great, too! You can also try adding some melted white chocolate to the cream cheese for added sweetness 🙂

      Excited to try this recipe! 🙂
      Okay to not strain out the raspberry seeds? Wondering if it may ruin the consistency? Thanks for any advice you can offer!

        Hi Danna! You can leave the seeds in, but the frosting won’t be as smooth. Otherwise, the consistency will be the same. Enjoy!

    My whipped cream frosting came out runny! What went wrong? I made 1/2 the recipe as suggested for the tuxedo cake. I have a standing mixer but not a handheld. So I had to transfer the whipped cream and sugar to another bowl in order to whip the cream cheese mixture. Could this partly be the reason why?

      Oh, no! so sorry to hear that! Did it never reach stiff peaks or did you overmix it? If the cream is overmixed, it separates. Also, was the cream chilled? I don’t think it had anything to do with transferring the cream

        Can the runny texture be fixed?

          Try placing it into the refrigerator for an hour or 2, then whisk again. Hope that helps!

      Mine came out quite runny, too:( and it is not better even i kept it in the fridge for 3+hours.

        So sorry to hear that! Did it by any chance separate? Make sure you are not over-mixing the frosting after adding the cheese and berry mixture into the WHIPPED heavy cream.

    Can you use frozen berries, or do they have to be fresh? If frozen is fine, should they thaw out first?

    Thank you so much for sharing your amazing recipes! Everything I have tried, my family has loved! I look forward to continue looking through all the recipes and trying them all out!

      Hi! I think frozen berries will work just fine for this recipe. It will take a bit longer for them to cook but I’m sure they will taste the same 🙂 Thank you for your support – I’m so glad you enjoy my recipes!

    I tried the berry Frosting and it curdled and went very runny !! – I used marscapone cheese – could this be the reason ? You did not say to cool the white chocolate – I cooled it for about 10 minutes- cd this be the reason it might have been too warm??

    • Reply
      • tatyanaseverydayfood

      Oh, no! So sorry that the recipe didn’t work for you. Once you add the chocolate into the mascarpone and mix it, let it cool down if it’s too warm. I used warm chocolate. I don’t think it was the warm chocolate, sounds like maybe you overmixed the frosting. Once you add the cheese and chocolate mixture to the whipped cream, it only need about a minute of mixing.

      When working with mascarpone, you need to mix it gently and only a short time. Mascarpone separates very easily. I ruined a lot of creams with it :(( mix on low setting until its combined . If you overmix or mix on high setting, the mascarpone separates. I was not able to save the scream. It’s like heavy cream-when you overmix, its ruined.

      HI Sandra! This would be great for a birthday cake. I recommend frosting the cake and keeping it refrigerated. I’m not sure how well it stores by its self, sometimes whipped cream can fall flat.

        Thanks Tatyana for your reply.
        You meant to say, refrigerating frosted cake might fall apart?
        Sorry I want to be sure, since it’s my son’s birthday.
        If there are chances of falling apart in the refrigerator too, can i use gelatin as in your stabilized whipped cream recipe?

      Hi there! Can I leave out the cream cheese + white chocolate and just make this frosting with whipped cream and berry sauce?

      • Reply
        • tatyanaseverydayfood

        Hi! You can definitely try that but it won’t have the same consistency. I would add at most 1/4 cup berry sauce to the whipped cream and add it at the very end, once the whipped cream is already fluffy. Mix for just a few seconds so it gets incorporated.

      So, first of all this looks amazing. I cant wait to make this for myself sometime. But first i’ve Been commissioned to make a wedding cake for a vegan couple, and this would go perfectly with their vanilla/raspberry flavor choice… so I’m just wondering if you can foresee anything going terribly wrong if I try to sub tofutti cream cheese and silk dairy-free whipping “cream AND vegan white chocolate…. i know that’s a lot of substitutions, but just figured i’d check before spending all the time and money with this experiment. Thanks for any advice you can offer!

        Hi Emma! I’m so sorry but I haven’t used any of those ingredients and I cannot say with 100% certainty if that recipe will work with the substitutions. If you have used those ingredients before and know if they work well, give it a try! 🙂 I highly recommend testing the recipe well ahead of the wedding date to check and see if it works 🙂 Best of luck!

      HI! Has anyone used this recipe as a topping for new york style cheesecake? I’ve been looking for a pipeable topping for my cheesecake minis I am curious if the texture and sweetness lends itself to cheesecake. I’m going to try it anyway, but if anyone else already had I’d love to hear their thoughts. Thanks!

      • Reply
        • tatyanaseverydayfood

        Hi Michelle! 🙂 It probably will not make the trip without refrigeration, unfortunately! It does start to go soft after a while at room temperature. Maybe if you also add in some gelatin to stabilize it further?

      Hello,

      What a beautiful recipe :), but I have some questions. Can I substitute chocolate for caramel sauce in the frosting? If yes, shoud be ramain 175 g. or can i add more? Will affect consistency?
      And if you want to add the gelatin to stabilize, what would be the amount?

      • Reply
        • tatyanaseverydayfood

        Hi Darya! Thank you so much for reaching out! Are you going to be removing the berry sauce or just replacing with caramel? If you want a caramel frosting, I recommend removing the berry sauce and adding a 14-ounce can of dulce de leche or 1 cup of my homemade caramel sauce (chilled). For the gelatin, you’ll need 1 tablespoon of unflavored gelatin mixed with 2 tablespoons of water. Microwave the gelatin in 10 second intervals for about 30 to 40 seconds, until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Pour the gelatin into the whisked heavy cream (add last) while it’s still hot; do not let it cool! Whisk for about 30 seconds.

      This recipe is a disaster- first of all adding the fruit to the white chocolate mixture caused it to seize – tried to save it but I have an expensive runny mess- deleting so I don’t accidentally try again – less than a star

        Hi Caroline! I’m sorry to hear the recipe didn’t work out well for you. It’s worked well for many years! Please follow the exact instructions I have listed for the recipe. The fruit needs to be added last, after the white chocolate has been incorporated into the cream cheese. Also, make sure the fruit mixture is cooled.

        This one might be a little soft if it’s left out in the heat for too long. I recommend making the cake the day before and letting it chill in the refrigerator overnight. Enjoy! 🙂

      Just made this to top a pan of rhubarb custard bars. Turned out great! Fabulous raspberry taste, but not too sweet. Upon tasting it, my husband commented that he would happily order dessert at any restaurant that could provide something like this. Not 100% sure I could have piped it (just a tad soft, perhaps?), but I think I could have. Followed directions very carefully due to comments from others about possible problems. Sometimes just using different brands of ingredients can make a difference due to varying fat contents and so on.

        Hi! Yumm, those rhubarb custard bars sound delicious! What a great idea to top them with this frosting! Next time, if your frosting is too soft, try refrigerating it for about an hour, then whisk again. The fat content and temperature make a huge difference. I’m so glad you enjoyed it!

        Can you freeze and use this frosting later? Will it freeze layered on a cake premade? Or can just the raspberry syrup be done earlier? TY!

          Hmm, I personally have never tried freezing a whipped cream frosting. I think it will go pretty flat. You’ll most likely need to re-whisk it. I don’t think it would have the same texture.
          Making the raspberry sauce ahead of time will be a great idea!

      This turned out perfect!! The comments made me a bit skeptical but I added the warm chocolate to the cream cheese. Then as the whipping cream and powdered sugar were whisking, I slowly added the cream cheese mixture that was room temperature. It thickened up very quick. Then I gently folded the raspberry sauce into it. Beautiful and delicious!!

      Pipes like a dream! I used cream cheese instead of mascarpone since that’s what I had on hand. I didn’t have fresh berries but frozen mixed berries worked very well. The frosting turned out extremely sweet, and I suspect it’s because I used very cheap white chocolate chips-great value brand. Thank you so much for the recipe!

        I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe! Cream cheese is a great substitute and it’s easier to work with, too. Yes, the chocolate chips can make a difference. You can also add less confectioner’s sugar next time for a less sweet frosting. Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review!

    FAQs

    Is there a difference between whipped cream and whipped cream frosting? ›

    Whipped cream frosting is a thickened and sweetened cream used to top and add body to desserts. My berry Chantilly cake is 3 layers and 8 inches. It's filled and frosted with stabilized whipped cream. Whipped cream is made using cold cream, sugar (either powdered or granulated), and optional flavorings such as vanilla.

    How do you thicken whipped cream for frosting? ›

    To prevent a structural disaster and avoid a soupy, unstable mess, though, you can stabilize it by adding Instant ClearJel, cornstarch, or another dairy ingredient like mascarpone or crème fraîche. To keep whipped cream light and fluffy for longer, you can stabilize it.

    Why is my whipped cream frosting melting? ›

    You most likely left it out for too long and the fat started to melt. Place it back in the refrigerator.

    Why isn't my whipping cream getting thick? ›

    When whipping cream, add sugar and vanilla when the cream is about 1/2 whipped, and it will whip to a thicker consistency. Adding the sugar at the beginning results in thinner consistency. The cream and the bowl should be as cold as possible. The cream will whip easier and to a thicker consistency when very cold.

    Which cream is best for frosting? ›

    SWISS MERINGUE BUTTERCREAM

    SM buttercream is arguably the best frosting in terms of cake decorating because it is the easiest way to get those smooth clean lines. Cons – It is SUPER annoying to make. You have to have time and patience for this one (which I don't usually have either).

    What is the best frosting to use for cake decorating? ›

    Buttercream is usually easier to use for cake decorating. Cream cheese makes a delicious frosting but it is difficult to get it thick enough to hold its shape for things like roses or other complicated flowers. Especially in the heat, it's more likely to sag or run.

    Can you over whip whipped cream frosting? ›

    Too thick: If you over-whip the frosting, it will appear chunky and curdled. While my fix isn't perfect, it will certainly help—by hand, stir in more liquid heavy cream 1 Tablespoon at a time until the frosting smooths out again.

    Does whipped cream frosting need to be refrigerated? ›

    How long does whipped cream frosting last? For best results, keep whipped cream frosting in the refrigerator when not in use. Refrigerated in an airtight container, this frosting can be stored for up to 2 days.

    What happens if you overbeat frosting? ›

    Over-beating can cause the frosting to become too thick and stiff, making it difficult to spread or pipe onto the cake. It can also cause the frosting to lose its smooth, creamy texture and become gritty.

    What happens if you whip cream too much? ›

    Making whipped cream seems easy enough, but if you beat cream too long, luscious, soft peaks can quickly turn into a grainy mess. If you catch it fast enough, you can simply fold in more un-whipped cream to fix an over-whipped nightmare.

    What can I add to heavy whipping cream to make it thicker? ›

    There are several ways to thicken without turning it into whipped cream or imparting other flavors:
    1. Boil until reduced to desired thickness (whisk constantly, do not burn which will cause the flavor to change)
    2. Add and incorporate gelatin.
    3. Add and incorporate corn starch or flour.

    How long does it take for whipping cream to get thick? ›

    Pour the heavy cream, sugar and vanilla extract into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. 2. Turn the mixer to medium speed and whip. The cream will start to get frothy, and then will begin to thicken (around the 2-3 minute mark).

    Why is my homemade whipped cream watery? ›

    There are a few reasons for your whipping cream not whipping well or it turns watery in no time. It is quite likely that the whipping cream has been stored improperly, ie not in frozen condition. If such is indeed so, it might have turned stale, and therefore not fit for consumption.

    Is whipped icing the same as whipped frosting? ›

    Because frosting holds its shape and is opaque in color, you'll see it often used and called for when you are decorating cakes and cupcakes. Another trait that sets frosting apart from icing is that it is always whipped, and unlike icing, its main ingredient is fat, such as butter or cream.

    What's the difference between whipped icing and whipped frosting? ›

    You'll be glad to know there is a distinction between the two. In broad terms, frosting is thick and fluffy, and is used to coat the outside (and often the inner layers) of a cake. Icing is thinner and glossier than frosting, and can be used as a glaze or for detailed decorating.

    Can you use store bought whipped cream for frosting? ›

    You can substitute thawed whipped topping, but don't try this trick with canned whipped cream that will quickly deflate and turn into liquid. Unsweetened whipped cream can tone down overly sweet frosting.

    What is the difference between whipped cream frosting and regular frosting? ›

    The biggest difference between the two is that the whipped cream is light and airy as opposed to the heavy richness from the butter base of buttercream. When using whipped cream frosting you will need to store the frosting in your refrigerator and keep it cool.
