5 from 1 vote

This Vegan Whipped Cream Frosting is a quick, light, and fluffy chantilly cream that is made with vegan heavy cream- not coconut cream! And it is stabilized with instant pudding mix, so it will hold its shape when piped! This recipe makes enough to top 12 cupcakes or to frost an 8" cake!

Equipment

1 Stand Mixer with Whip Attachment
1 Spatula
Measuring Cups and Spoons

Ingredients

2 Cups Vegan Heavy Whipping Cream See note!
¼ Cup Powdered Sugar, sifted
2 tablespoon Instant Vanilla Pudding Mix See note!
¼ teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Instructions

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, add the vegan heavy whipping cream. Turn the mixer to medium-high and whip the cream until it is thicker, but not thick enough to hold a peak, about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
2 Cups Vegan Heavy Whipping Cream
Sprinkle the powdered sugar and instant vanilla pudding mix over the cream and turn the mixer back to medium-high, and whip until the cream has stiff peaks, about 1 minute. Stop a couple of times during this process to fold the mixture with a spatula to ensure everything is well incorporated and is whipping up evenly. See note!
¼ Cup Powdered Sugar, sifted, 2 tablespoon Instant Vanilla Pudding Mix
Once stiff peaks are achieved, add the vanilla and mix on low for a few seconds to incorporate.
¼ teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for 10 minutes. Then, use as desired.

Notes

I love Silk Vegan Heavy Whipping Cream for this recipe, but I have also used Country Crock Non-Dairy Whipping Cream!

Make sure your heavy cream is cold!

I used Jell-O Instant Vanilla Pudding Mix.

To check if your whipped cream frosting has stiff peaks, dip the whisk attachment into the whipped cream and pull straight up, then turn the whisk right-side-up. If the peak at the tip of the whisk stands straight up, it is a stiff peak. If it falls over, the whipped cream frosting is not done yet!
