How to Make Aunt Viv's Whipped Cream Icing
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1/4 cup all-purpose flour and 1 cup whole milk. Cook over medium-low heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens into a smooth pudding-like consistency (about 8-10 minutes).
- Remove from heat and pour the mixture into a medium bowl. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until completely chilled.
- In a large bowl of a stand mixer (or using a hand mixer), cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened, and 1/2 cup shortening until light and fluffy (about 3-5 minutes).
- Gradually add 3 cups powdered sugar, beating on low speed until combined. Then, add 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract and beat until smooth.
- Gradually add the chilled flour mixture to the butter mixture, beating on low speed until just combined.
- Increase the mixer speed to medium-high and beat for 3-5 minutes, or until the icing is light, fluffy, and incredibly smooth. If the icing seems too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of milk, one at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
- Taste and adjust sweetness if needed by adding a little more powdered sugar.
- Frost your favorite cake, cupcakes, or berries and enjoy!
