The Key Ingredient Swap That Gives Frosting Bakery-Like Richness - Tasting Table

If you want that rich, creamy frosting that can often be found in bakeries, consider swapping out the milk in your go-to recipe for heavy cream, reports Taste of Home. According to Modern Mom, that heavy cream has more fat content than milk does, making it thicker and richer — and perfect for your icing. The amount of butterfat in milk varies from around 0.5% to 3.5% from skim to whole milk, while heavy cream is typically around 36%, per The Spruce Eats. This will allow the frosting to hold its shape longer, keeping your piped rosettes perfectly in place.

One of the most common types of frosting is a classic vanilla buttercream, which calls for milk in most recipes. By swapping in heavy cream, you will add another layer to the flavor profile and some additional decadence to your treats.
