But in a warm room, the frosting starts to droop. Most whipped frostings, including buttercream, need to be stabilized to make them more durable. Depending on how stiff you want your whipped cream, 2 tablespoons of meringue powder for two cups of heavy cream usually does the trick. For additional stabilizer, add cream cheese, cocoa, or more meringue powder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"margin-bottom: 16px; float: none;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/0932\/0785\/files\/75821964_l_pink_meringue_cupcakes_cropped_1024x1024.jpg?v=1751000560\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStrawberry Pineapple Whipped Cream\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne Saturday, in our little country store, we were handing out filled cupcakes topped with various flavors of whipped cream. The store was full, and there was a lot of buzz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI made strawberry whipped cream using two tablespoons of meringue powder for every two cups of heavy whipping cream. Instead of sugar, I used strawberry pastry filling to sweeten the whipped cream. The pastry filling provided both color and flavor. When I had enough pastry filling to create a pretty pink color, I had a nice strawberry-flavored topping.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you want more flavor in the whipped cream, add a half teaspoon of strawberry flavor. That will give you more flavor with still a gentle pink.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUpstairs, in our test kitchen, we had a fresh, ripe pineapple that needed to be used. I laid it on a cutting board and sliced and trimmed it. Using a chef's knife, I minced the pineapple into tiny pieces. Then, a batch at a time, I wrapped a paper towel around the pineapple and wrung out the juice until it was almost dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI dumped the pineapple into the pink strawberry whipped cream and folded it into the strawberry frosting. We put it on cupcakes and cookies. Folks loved it. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Prepared Pantry","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52801102119187,"sku":"PP467","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/0932\/0785\/files\/75821964_l_pink_meringue_cupcakes_cropped.jpg?v=1751000560","url":"https:\/\/www.preparedpantry.com\/products\/meringue-powder-for-frosting-and-whipped-cream-4-oz-with-instructions-for-pineapple-strawberry-whipped-cream","provider":"The Prepared Pantry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
