Whipped Cream in a Jar

Patricia @ ButterYum

I had one piece of pie left and needed just a small amount of whipped cream so I grabbed a jar and made some.  Here's how.

Pour about 2 tablespoons of heavy cream in a jar.  Pick a jar that will allow you to shake the cream vigorously with room for it to move around, but don't pick a jar that's too big.  Here I'm using a clean, spice jar.

Add about 1/2 teaspoon of confectioners sugar.

And 1/4 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract.  Definitely be sure to use the good stuff.

 

Put the lid on the jar and start shaking.

Just shake, shake, shake (45 seconds or so)... and before you know it, you'll have perfectly whipped cream.

  

Just the right amount for one person.

Easiest Chocolate Frosting Ever!

Patricia @ ButterYum

This is easiest and best tasting chocolate frosting you'll ever have.  Plan ahead - must be made at least 8 hours ahead.

Chop chocolate into small pieces.

Heat heavy cream in a heavy-bottom saucepan until just before it reaches the boiling point.

Place chocolate into a heat-safe bowl and pour the hot cream on top. Steep, undisturbed, for 2 minutes.

After 2 minutes, stir or whisk the chocolate and cream together until all the chocolate is melted.

Add the vanilla extract and stir again to combine.

The mixture should be smooth and glossy.

Cover bowl with a clean kitchen towel and set aside for at least 8 hours (can be up to 72 hours). DO NOT cover the bowl with plastic wrap as condensation will form and drip into the mixture, causing the chocolate to seize (turn grainy and lumpy).

After 8 hours have passed, the chocolate and cream will have set up to the perfect consistency for frosting. Can be kept at room temperature for up to 3 days, chill or freeze leftovers.
