Stabilized Strawberry Whipped Cream
Searching for a delicious, easy, and fluffy stabilized strawberry whipped cream for your desserts? Look no further! This whipped cream is stabilized using a bit of cream cheese (no gelatin needed = great for any vegetarians!), which adds such a nice velvety smooth texture. It's not-too-sweet and the freeze dried strawberry powder adds such a bold flavor to it! Use it to frost cakes, cupcakes, pipe fun designs, and more!

Equipment
- large mixing bowl
Ingredients
- 4 ounces block cream cheese softened
- 2 ounces freeze dried strawberry powder
- ¾ cup powdered sugar adjust to taste
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups heavy cream chilled
- pink or red gel food coloring optional
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to whip 4 ounces block cream cheese and 2 ounces freeze dried strawberry powder on medium speed until smooth, about 2-4 minutes.
- Add 1 tablespoon vanilla extract. Gradually add 2 cups heavy cream while mixing on medium speed until medium peaks form. It should mostly hold its shape, with the peaks a bit bent. Add in a small drop of pink or red gel food coloring if desired.
- Mix in the ¾ cup powdered sugar, a third at a time. Taste and add more if needed.
- Turn the mixer to medium high and keep beating until you reach stiff peaks. There should be visible track marks from the whisk and the cream should easily hold its shape.
- Enjoy! Use it to frost cupcakes, cakes... whatever your heart desires!!! :)
- Over mixed and the whipped cream is split and chunky? No worries! Add in a splash of heavy cream at a time and mix on low until it smooths back out.

Notes
Storage: I recommend using the stabilized whipped cream immediately for your dessert and not making it ahead of time. However, if you have any leftovers, you can store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Scoop it on top of your oats, ice cream, brownies, etc. :)
