Stabilized Whipped Cream

Standard

 

Stabilized Whipped Cream

This can be used as a replacement for Cool Whip.

  • 8-oz. pkg. cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 4 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar (or to taste)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese with confectioners’ sugar and vanilla until soft and creamy.  Transfer to a small bowl.

In the same mixing bowl (you don’t have to clean it), beat heavy whipping cream just until soft peaks form.  You’ll want them to collapse, not stand up.

Add the cream cheese mixture by distributing it in thirds around the mixing bowl.  Beat until stiff peaks are formed.

Store in refrigerator until ready to use.

Yields about 5 cups.

Farm-Style Cinnamon Rolls

Farm-Style Cinnamon Rolls

These cinnamon rolls are very easy to make.  I particularly like them because they are not as sweet as most cinnamon rolls.

  • 16-oz. pkg. frozen bread dough
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted and divided
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Place dough in a well-oiled bowl, and let bread thaw and rise to almost double its size.

(To quickly thaw your dough, I put the frozen dough in the oiled bowl, covered it with plastic wrap tightly.  Turn oven on to 200 degrees and when it has reached that temperature, turn oven off and put your bowl in the oven.  When it has doubled in size, take out of oven and proceed with the rest of directions.)

Roll out dough on a floured surface to a 14″ x 10″ rectangle.  Brush with 2 tablespoons butter;  mix sugars together with cinnamon and sprinkle on dough.

Starting on one long side, roll up jelly roll style.  Pinch seam together.  Cut rolled dough into 12 slices for a 9 x 13-inch baking dish or into 9 slices for a 9 x 9-inch baking dish.  Coat dish with one tablespoon butter.  Arrange rolls in baking pan;  brush with remaining butter.  Cover and let rise in a warm place for 45 minutes to one hour.

Uncover and bake at 375 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes, until lightly golden.
