Champagne Strawberry Whipped Cream Filling

I came across this filling recipe on a search for a light and non-overwhelming flavor for my champagne cake recipe. It was delicious although I think it could use a little more sweetness. I hope you all can use this. Oh, and it was from Kat’s Sweet Somethings.

Ingredients

Amount Ingredient 1 cup heavy whipping cream 2 T. + 1 tsp. sugar (I wasn’t sure if this was powdered or not, that is what I ended up using which may be why it was not sweet enough) 4 oz (1/4 c.) champagne 6 or 7 large frozen strawberries

Directions

In a mixer with a whisk attachment, start beating the heavy cream until frothy; add in sugar, and continue to mix on medium-high until soft peaks form.
In a food processor or blender, puree strawberries and prosecco until a paste is formed.
Pour strawberry mixture into a sieve over the bowl of whipped cream, and press through (this should remove the majority of the seeds). Mix on medium speed until the strawberry is incorporated.

Yes, because I thought that is what they meant since I watch a lot of food network and that is how they usually sweeten whipped cream on chopped. LOL. I am sure I was totally off.

I always use powder sugar in recipes like this. this . i make this recipe without the champagne and use different fruits. love it!!!

Hi All, Just FYI, Proseco is Italian sparkling wine and it has a little bit of sweetness. It is yummy and much cheaper than a decent Champagne.

I did not use Prosecco just so you know. I used a cheaper champagne and I think it worked just fine. The good thing about cheape champagnes is that they are sweeter than the more expensive champagnes which is good for baking purposes.

DeeDee44 I believe that the frosting and filling will need to be refrigerated, but mine sat out for a few hours and I did not have a problem.

Flyforefun- I actually did use fresh fruit and threw it in the freezer for about an hour while I ran out to drop my daughter off at preschool. I am sure you could use it without freezing it. I just thought that the extra cold would keep the whipped cream from falling an not staying whipped if that makes sense.

I am normally a scratch baker, but I didn't have great results with the scratch champagne recipe I found. The texture was awful. The taste was okay, but the texture was much to bready and not at all like a chiffon type of cake should be. I finally broke down and tried DiscoLady's Champagne cake recipe even though it was a doctored cake mix recipe (it is on this site). It was actually really great and got tons of great reviews. I think it may need a little more champagne flavor the next time around so I contemplated getting some champagne flavoring to boost the champagne in the cake mix, but I havent tried it yet. If you search under champagne for recipes you will see Pink Champagne by DiscoLady. It was good. I have another one from spc1127, that is from scratch, but I have not tried it yet.
