Ingredients
Scale
Holiday Spiced Whipped Cream
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp allspice
- ¼ tsp cloves
- ⅛ tsp nutmeg
Instructions
- Chill Mixing Bowl and Whisk: Place your mixing bowl and whisk or beaters in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to chill. This helps the cream whip more efficiently.
- Combine Ingredients: Pour 1 cup of heavy whipping cream into the chilled bowl. Add ¼ cup powdered sugar, 1 tsp cinnamon, ¼ tsp allspice, ¼ tsp cloves, and ⅛ tsp nutmeg to the cream.
- Whip the Cream: Using an electric mixer or a hand whisk, beat the cream and spices mixture on medium-high speed. Continue whipping until medium to stiff peaks form, which should take approximately 3 to 5 minutes. Be careful not to overwhip, or the cream will turn buttery.
- Serve or Store: Use immediately as a topping for pies, hot chocolate, cakes, or other holiday desserts. Alternatively, store the whipped cream in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
Notes
- For best results, use cold heavy cream and chill all equipment before whipping.
- Adjust the amount of powdered sugar to taste if you prefer a sweeter or less sweet whipped cream.
- The blend of spices can be customized to your preference; consider adding a pinch of ginger for extra warmth.
- Use this whipped cream within a day for optimal texture and flavor.
