Whipped Cream Frosting

1 Cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon granulated white sugar

Whip all ingredients together in the mixture until stiff.

Chocolate Whipped Cream Frosting:

Add to the above 1 1/2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder plus an additional 1 1/2 tablespoons granulated white sugar.

Raspberry Whipped Cream Frosting:

Add to the above 1/2 cup lightly sweetened raspberry puree or seedless raspberry jam.

This was FABULOUS! I was out of butter for my butter cream frosting and made this instead. It was incredibly light. The chocolate was absolutely amazing but didn't overpower the chocolate cupcakes I made. I will have to try the raspberry sometime and I am sure I could make any flavor with all the jams available to make other berry frosting flavors.
