Whether you're the sweet, strawberry type, a cream cheese crusader or a total chocoholic, these links to fab frostings are sure to get your mouth watering!





Strawberry Whipped Cream Frosting

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 4 tablespoons food processed strawberries (take some fresh strawberries, wash them, remove the stems, and throw them in the food processor until they become a thick, seedy liquid)
  1. Whip cream until it looks like whipped cream.
  2. Mix in sugar.
  3. Mix in strawberries until just combined.
  4. Be sure to frost your cupcakes before you eat all of the strawberry whipped cream.




Oreo Frosting 
  • 8 oz package of cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1/4 C butter, room temperature
  • 3-4 C powdered sugar (use more or less depending on how stiff you want the frosting to be)
  • 1/2 t vanilla extract
  • 3/4 C crushed Oreos (I crushed them in the food processor to be sure the pieces would be really tiny and wouldn't get stuck in my piping tips. If you are going to spread the frosting, it might be fun to use bigger chunks of Oreo. 
  1. Whip cream cheese and butter until light and fluffy.
  2. Mix in powdered sugar one cup at a time.
  3. Add vanilla extract.
  4. Gently stir in crushed Oreos.




Vanilla Bean Buttercream Frosting
  • 1 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar (add more until it reaches your preferred consistency)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
Directions
  1. Mix together sugar and butter until they are blended and creamy. 
  2. Add vanilla bean paste and milk and continue to beat for another minute. 
  3. If desired, add more vanilla bean paste to taste, or more confectioners' sugar to make it stiffer.


Banana Whipped Cream with Chocolate Bits

  • 1/2 C heavy whipping cream
  • 1/3 C sugar
  • 1 ripened banana
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
  1. Whip heavy whipping cream until it looks like whipped cream.
  2. Mix in sugar until incorporated.
  3. Peel and slice banana.
  4. Microwave the slices for 45 seconds. (This may vary by microwave. You are looking for something very soft, but not liquid.)
  5. Mash the microwaved banana and let it come to room temperature.
  6. Stir the banana and cacao nibs into the whipped cream.



Dark Chocolate Ganache Frosting


  •  2 cups heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1 pound bittersweet chocolate, roughly chopped
  1. In a large saucepan, bring 2 cups heavy cream, 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar, and 1/8 teaspoon salt to a boil. Remove from heat; add 1 pound bittersweet chocolate, roughly chopped, and let stand, without stirring, for 1 minute. Whisk just until combined. Refrigerate, stirring occasionally, until spreadable, about 1 hour.
