Whipped Cream Frosting Update!

The original batch of Whipped Cream Frosting, made back on the 11th, was definitely a hit in the household and went pretty quick. It was used on cookies, fruit and ice cream.

We decided to pick up some more fruit this weekend and re-make the whipped cream with cinnamon oil flavoring, which tastes amazingly great with apples! Oil flavoring is more potent, so you only use about 25% of what the recipe calls for in extracts. This time my youngest child helped make the recipe and he had a lot of fun watching the mixture change.

We can't wait until the local apples are in season here and to try out more flavors with the whipped cream. :)

Discovering 2014: Whipped Cream Frosting

Discovering 2014 is a personal goal to complete a daily project throughout the year!

Today's project was Whipped Cream Frosting. I followed this recipe from Key Ingredient exactly and it turned out beautifully. The only difference was that mine yielded 4.5 cups instead of 5 cups... and I swear I didn't eat 1/2 cup! ;) Whenever I do this again in the future I'll have to try out other flavors (update using cinnamon here!).

This would be great to use as a fruit dip, on graham crackers, as topping or on cookies. Pictures of the creation process are below!

Discovering 2014: Whipped Cream Dollops

Discovering 2014 is a personal goal to complete a daily project throughout the year!

My day 19 project was Whipped Cream Dollops. This is one I actually started a few days ago to ensure everything was done in time. The idea came from this pin by The Creative Mama. Her dollops turned out much nicer in appearance than mine (it was only my second time using a icing bag) and she made the whipped cream from scratch, but the end result is the same. =)

This was actually supposed to be a February project, but when we ended up with a partially used whipped cream container, I decided to bump it up by swapping it with the Paper Bag Booklet day. The supplies are: whipped cream (store-bought or handmade), wax paper, decorating/icing bag, something to set your dollops on while they freeze, space in your freezer (pretty sure that's a commodity), and a container to transplant the dollops to after they're done.
