Description
A quick and festive whipped cream infused with eggnog flavor, perfect for topping holiday desserts like pies, cakes, and hot beverages. Light, creamy, and easy to make in under 5 minutes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (240 ml) heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) eggnog
- 2 tablespoons (15 g) powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: a pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
- Optional: 1 teaspoon bourbon or rum
Instructions
- Chill your mixing bowl and beaters in the fridge or freezer for about 10 minutes to help the cream whip faster and fluffier.
- Pour 1 cup (240 ml) of cold heavy whipping cream into the chilled bowl.
- Add 1/4 cup (60 ml) of cold eggnog, 2 tablespoons (15 g) powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Optionally, grate a pinch of fresh nutmeg into the mixture.
- Using a hand mixer on medium speed, whip the mixture until stiff peaks form, about 3-4 minutes. Be careful not to overwhip to avoid graininess or turning into butter.
- Optionally, gently fold in 1 teaspoon of bourbon or rum after whipping for an adult twist.
- Serve immediately or cover and chill for up to 24 hours. Whisk gently before serving if it settles.
Notes
Always start with cold cream and chilled equipment for best results. Use powdered sugar for smooth texture. Avoid overwhipping to prevent graininess or butter formation. The alcohol is optional and can be omitted for kids. Use fresh nutmeg for best flavor and aroma. Use within 24 hours and do not freeze.
