Ingredients
Scale
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 the bowl and beaters: Place a mixing bowl and beaters in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to ensure they are cold, which helps the cream whip faster and increase volume.
- Combine ingredients: Pour the cold heavy whipping cream into the chilled bowl. Add powdered sugar, cinnamon, allspice, cloves, and nutmeg to the cream.
- Whip the cream: Using an electric mixer, whip the cream and spices mixture on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. This usually takes about 3-4 minutes. Be careful not to overwhip, or it could turn into butter.
- Serve immediately or chill: Use the spiced whipped cream immediately to top desserts or beverages. Alternatively, store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, gently re-whipping if necessary before serving.
Notes
- For best results, always use cold cream and equipment when whipping.
- Adjust the amount of powdered sugar to taste if you prefer a less sweet or sweeter whip.
- The spice blend can be customized to your preference; consider adding ginger or cardamom for a different holiday flair.
- Use fresh spices for the best aroma and flavor.
- If making ahead, store in an airtight container and re-whip gently before use to restore texture.
