A beloved homemade whipped cream recipe featuring warm spices like cinnamon, cloves, and ginger offers a festive twist for holiday desserts. The simple, five-ingredient base—combining cold whipping cream, vanilla, and icing sugar—can be adjusted for a glossy dollop or piped decorations, depending on desired texture. Optional stabilizers like cream of tartar help maintain structure, while fresh grated ginger adds an extra layer of flavor. Perfect for Thanksgiving and Christmas treats, the recipe can be stored in the fridge for up to five days.
This is my family's absolute favourite whipped cream recipe, especially for Thanksgiving and Christmas! Full recipe: https://livslittlemuffins.com/homemade-spiced-whipped-cream/ Ingredients 1 cup (220g) whipping cream (cold, use straight from fridge) 1 tsp ground cinnamon 1/8 tsp ground cloves 1/4 tsp ground ginger 1/4 tsp fresh grated ginger (optional for additional flavour) 1/3 cup + 1 tbsp (55g) icing sugar 1 tsp vanilla extract 1/8 tsp cream of tartar (optional, to help stabilize) Instructions In the bowl of a stand mixer or large mixing bowl if using a hand mixer, add all of the ingredients. Attach the whisk attachment. Whisk the mixture at medium-high speed. After about 2 minutes, it should start to get frothy and foamy, continue whisking for about 1-2 more minutes. At this point, medium peaks should be forming. Medium peaks will partially fall over. Stop here if you want that glossy dollop on a piece of pie, etc. If you want to pipe this, continue whisking for about another minute until stiff peaks form. Stiff peaks will not fall over. Stop whisking once the stiff peaks form otherwise you will overbeat your cream. *See notes Place into a piping bag and pipe immediately or store in the fridge for up to 5 days and enjoy! submitted by /u/LivsLittleMuffins [link] [comments]
