Whipped cream frosting, also known as whipped cream icing, has been a beloved dessert topping for centuries. This light and airy frosting is made by whipping heavy cream with sugar and vanilla until it forms stiff peaks. Its origins can be traced back to Europe, where it was a popular accompaniment to cakes and pastries. In the 19th century, renowned French chefs like Marie-Antoine Carême and Auguste Escoffier popularized the use of whipped cream in their decadent desserts. Today, this delightful frosting is a staple in bakeries and homes worldwide.
