One of the best ways make a dessert special is to use this stabilized whipped cream icing recipe. It’s a lot less sweet than a confectioner’s sugary frosting and pairs exceptionally well with chocolate. It can be used for the center of a layer cake, the top of the cake, or a fruit pie or tart.

The Ingredients are simple, but a Kitchen Aid Standing Mixer comes in handy. I use this almost every day. (Amazon).

What exactly is stabilized whipped cream?

It’s a whipped cream that is piped and stays put. This happens when adding in a tiny amount of cream cheese (2 teaspoons per cup) and a little confectioner’s sugar. Since I used confectioner’s sugar from Swerve (sugar free), I only needed one tablespoon. It came out just perfectly.

I used a stabilized whipped cream to fill this chocolate cake and to top this chocolate pie. My favorite way to use a stabilized whipped cream icing recipe is to top a flourless chocolate cake and then add berries.

How to Make Stabilized Whipped Cream

It’s important to make sure the bowl is very cold. I use my kitchen aid bowl and fill it with ice and then dry it once the bowl is cold. I use heavy whipping cream that is also very cold. If the cream isn’t cold, it may get gloopy.

Then take a piping bag and pipe away. You will be amazed that your whipped cream will stay this beautiful for a few a days. This means you can make a lovely dessert like this flourless chocolate cake a day in advance and it will look look exactly the same, and taste great.

    Thanks so much, I want to try it next week for my own birthday cake, this sounds like it’s not so sweet as store bought cake, or the other kind of frosting, since our children love it when I bake a cake and try to decorate it , then I always try again, so far I have always failed at decorating a cake, but I want to keep on trying,

  4. Hi,

    I have tried this recipe and turned out really nice. The only thing is during piping, it started leaving water. I am assuming it’s because of the heat of my hand. What suggestion would you give for this please.

    Many thanks

    1. That has never happened to me. I think maybe you didn’t whip the cream enough, as it’s very stable. You could put your piping bag full of cream in the refrigerator to chill first. If it still leaks, it means it was not fully tranformed from liquid to solid.
