Name: Coffee Whipped Cream Frosting
Total time: 10 min
Ingredients: 2 cups heavy cream, chilled; 6 tablespoons (2 2/3 ounces/75 grams) sugar; 1 tablespoon instant espresso powder; 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Why This Recipe Works

For a quick and easy coffee-flavored frosting, we added espresso powder to lightly sweetened whipped cream. The result was light and airy in texture and could be made in just a few minutes.

Before You Begin

We found that chilled heavy cream can be whipped to peaks more quickly and easily than room-temperature heavy cream.

Instructions

Using stand mixer fitted with whisk attachment, whip all ingredients on medium-low speed until foamy, about 1 minute. Increase speed to medium-high and whip until stiff peaks form, 1 to 3 minutes.
