Even though we are Fluffy European Buttercream fans, we must say this Whipped Vanilla Bean Frosting is quite amazing. It’s sweet, creamy, and perfectly fluffy. Plus, it tastes just like premium vanilla bean ice cream! The use of vanilla bean in the frosting creates a richer, bolder, vanilla flavor that showcases all those teeny-tiny vanilla bean flecks.
Try this whipped frosting on our Buttermilk Carrot Cake and our Indian Candy-Corn Cake.
