		<description><![CDATA[It is very easy to make a white vanilla frosting at home using heavy cream. After you taste a homemade white frosting, you will never want to eat those chemical frostings from a can! This easy white vanilla whipped cream frosting recipe uses just 3 ingredients – heavy cream, vanilla and powdered sugar. This frosting is all natural and tastes delicious! White Vanilla Whipped Cream Frosting Recipe Ingredients 2 cups heavy cream 1/4 cup powdered sugar 1/2 tsp vanilla Instructions To make this white frosting recipe, you must have a mixer. I use a simple cheap hand-held mixer, and it works great in turning the heavy cream into thick whipped frosting. This frosting has to be made right before you frost the cake. So make the cake first, then make the homemade frosting! In a large bowl, mix all ingredients – heavy cream, vanilla and powdered sugar. Turn on the mixer first on low speed, and mix until all the sugar is incorporated into the whipped cream. Then turn on the mixer on the highest speed, and keep mixing until the heavy cream becomes very thick. How do you know when to stop mixing? If in doubt, keep mixing! When [...]]]></description>
