If you’re looking for a light and zesty frosting that pairs beautifully with cakes, cupcakes, or even as a filling, this Cool Whipped Lemon Frosting is a perfect choice. It’s easy to make and adds a refreshing citrus flavor to any dessert. Here’s how to prepare it:
Ingredients
1 cup heavy whipping cream, chilled
Chilled cream is essential for achieving the right texture and stability. It helps the frosting whip up to a light and fluffy consistency.
1/2 cup powdered sugar
Powdered sugar sweetens the frosting and helps to stabilize it. It dissolves easily, giving the frosting a smooth texture.
1 tablespoon lemon zest
Lemon zest adds a burst of citrus flavor and a touch of color. Use a microplane or fine grater to zest the lemon, avoiding the bitter white pith.
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Fresh lemon juice provides a tangy flavor that balances the sweetness of the frosting. Make sure to use freshly squeezed juice for the best flavor.
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Vanilla extract enhances the overall flavor of the frosting, adding depth and richness.
Instructions
1. Chill Your Equipment:
Before you begin, chill your mixing bowl and beaters (or stand mixer bowl and whisk attachment) in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes. This step helps the cream whip more effectively.
