These peanut patties resemble the pink or red ones you can get at gas stations, but they’re much, much better!

This frosting is so light and delish!!! Not to mention super easy to make!!
The easiest way to make any whipped cream stablized is to add cream of tartar. 1/8 a teaspoon per cup of heavy cream works great for me, no weeping or separating.
I used confectioners sugar and it was super good!
No changes. Perfect! It is easy to make, has way less sugar than regular icing and spreads smoothly.
ABSOLUTELY DIVINE! I made this in my kitchen aid stand mixer. Before making it I put my bowl and whisk in the freezer for about a half an hour in lieu of putting the frosting in the fridge before whisking. Great recipe!
So fast and super easy to make! I added Whip It as I was nervous that the whip cream would start to lose it’s consistency and it was perfect! And the food processor made it so fast and easy. I did a double batch for a layered cake.
It made enough to generously ice the middle of two layer cake. Double recipe to do whole cake – double layer. Used gelatin to stabilize.
I used less sweetener (and used erythritol and stevia). Very good!
Easy and delicious!
very easy tasty!
I too don’t like frosting from a can. This is great! I love it.
I love this my hubby and i are not really “sweets” people and other icings just ruin it for us and we just wind up eating a pain piece of cake or cupcake but this is amazing and taste like the fudge pop ice cream which my hubby loves during summer so this is going on top of his bday cake today thank you so much but i did sub sugar for powdered sugar
Excellent for chocolate lovers !! Wicked goos chocolate favor . Excellent for chocolate cream pie ! My family and relatives loved it for Christmas Eve !!!! Thank you
I made this for my sons 4th birthday, it was really good I made a monster truck cake so I needed something to go with the “dirt” next time I will double the recipe because in my opinion you can always use more frosting, but it was good
I was looking for a chocolate whipped cream recipe, and this was perfect 🙂 I don’t get why some reviewers said things like “I expected this to be frosting, this is just whipped cream!” and “OMG, why didn’t this recipe remind u to not over-whip?” or “I got weird liquid in my whipped cream.” Look at the ingredients! It’s just cream, sugar, vanilla, and cocoa powder! If you know anything about frosting, you should know that frosting needs butter of some sort. In addition, anyone who makes whipped cream should know not to over-whip your cream! If it starts to turn grainy, add more cream and re-whip.
It needs about twice the amount of sugar to mask the dryness of the cocoa powder
Excellent whipped frosting!!! I doubled the recipe but substituted 1tsp of vanilla extract with 1tsp of almond extract.
Love this frosting! I’m the same way, I don’t like really sweet frostings! Tonight, I made a really dense chocolate cake from scratch (none of that boxed stuff at our house!??) and I wanted a very light peanut butter frosting to go on it. (Just a craving, I guess haha) Then I found this recipe! I doubled it and added about a half a cup of peanut butter…other than that I followed the mixer directions to a t and it turned out beautifully! Light and fluffy; the perfect amount of sweetness. So yummy. The perfect topping to my cake! Thanks for sharing! I will use this recipe many many times in the future!
Delicious and easy, not too sweet. We aren’t fans of too much sugar. Iced my cake which was two 9″ pieces that I layered together. Icing was enough to cover the whole cake and the middle layer. Great recipe will make again!
I made two batches of it, both times in a food processor. The first time I tried it, it whipped properly, but there was a chocolate milk-like substance in the whipped cream? The second time, it didn’t whip at all. Maybe you don’t whip it all at once? I’m confused.
I recommend this to anyone looking for a frosting that isn’t too sugary. I did it exactly as the recipe called for. I didn’t switch to powdered sugar or anything. I didn’t have a whip attachment for the food processor so I just used the regular attachment. The frosting turned out perfectly. It took maybe a minute to fluff up. The texture was nice and smooth. It was not overly sweet. It tasted very chocolaty and creamy. I used the frosting for a heart shaped cake I had made my boyfriend for valentines day. I think this would be a good pick for someone who likes dark chocolate more than milk chocolate.
