Directions
- 1
Remove the vegetable shortening from the refrigerator 15 minutes before starting so it softens slightly without melting.

Place all four ingredients into the bowl of a stand mixer or use a hand-held electric mixer.
- 3
Beat on medium speed for about 2 minutes until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
- 4
Increase to high speed and continue beating for 3 to 4 minutes until the frosting is thick, fluffy, and holds stiff peaks.
- 5
Spread immediately over cakes, tarts, or other desserts, or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
💡 Chef's Tip
Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a pinch of lemon zest to enhance the flavor. For a stiffer consistency, incorporate extra powdered sugar one tablespoon at a time. Keep the cream well chilled for the best volume.
