You can elevate store-bought whipped frosting by adding creamy ingredients to enhance flavor and texture.
Enhancing Whipped Frosting
Here are some ways to improve the taste and consistency of whipped frosting, based on expert advice:
Creamy Add-Ins
- Cream Cheese: Adding cream cheese creates a tangy and richer flavor. The reference suggests mixing 1 cup of cream cheese per can of frosting for a significant improvement.
- Marshmallow Creme: This adds sweetness and a smoother texture. The recommended amount is 1/2 cup of marshmallow creme per can of frosting.
- Nut Butters: Incorporating peanut butter or other nut butters infuses the frosting with a nutty, flavorful twist.
- Other Options: Nutella can also be used to enhance the flavor and texture of the frosting, providing a chocolate-hazelnut taste.
