Top Anything You’d Like With Cappuccino Frosting
This Whipped Cappuccino Frosting is light & fluffy, not too sweet with the perfect amount of cappuccino flavor. It goes great with cakes, custards, puddings, waffles, pancakes, ice cream – even coffee and drinks.
Whipped cream frostings can be touchy with time and temperature, but the cappuccino powder stabilizes the whipped cream. Meaning the whipped cream won’t lose form and melt away. It will remain stiff and hold shape for a few days, refrigerated of course. So make sure whatever dessert you make will do well in the fridge. Or make the frosting and store it in the fridge until ready to use.
I especially love Whipped Cream Frosting during the warmer months – even though the frosting itself doesn’t like the heat so much. A light & fluffy frosting is so much nicer on warm days then say, a rich sugary buttercream. This frosting works great on days you don’t want to bake as well. Like today – when I bought this Angel Food Cake at a local bakery 😉

Ingredients & Instructions
To clear up any confusion of “cappuccino powder”. I typically buy a small container of it in the bulk section at my local grocery store. It might be called cappuccino powder, cappuccino mix or instant cappuccino mix.
Basically it’s the powder you mix with hot water & milk for an instant cappuccino. You might also find it in the coffee section around the instant coffee at your grocery store.
Using a chilled bowl with chilled mixers – beat the heavy cream, brown sugar and cappuccino powder until stiff peaks start to form.
Frost cake or refrigerate until ready to use. This cappuccino frosting must be stored in fridge. Depending on what cake you make, you may have to rest cake a room temp for about half an hour prior to serving.
Hope you enjoy!

Notes
It is sad how fast kids grow up. My children are all grown and on their own, but now we are starting to have grandchildren, so the fun is starting again. I love this frosting. Simple, but delicious!
They do grow up so quick…
Some days are so long…yet the years go past in what seems like a blink of an eye. You got to love every minute of it ♥
This looks like a great frosting. Heavy cream makes for a great frosting.
Btw, cappuccino in Italy tastes 10xs better than here.
Thanks Joanne! I love light & fluffy whipped cream frosting ♥
I’d take an Italian cappuccino over an American cappuccino anyday!
I modified this slightly since I had only a tiny bit of brown sugar I threw in the 1/4 cup of the brown a 1/4 cup of plain sugar and a drizzle of honey. Also I used Coco since the friend whose birthday cake I’m making is not a fan of coffee. It turned out amazing.
