This creamy and fluffy lemon frosting is a great alternative to sweet buttercream frosting. Add an extra tablespoon of lemon juice if you want an even more lemony flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 pint heavy whipping cream, chilled
- 1 cup confectioners' sugar, sifted
- 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 lemon, zested
Directions
Step 1
Chill a bowl and beaters (or a whisk attachment for a stand mixer) in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
Step 2
Add the heavy whipping cream to the chilled bowl and beat on medium-high speed until frothy and soft peaks form.
