Ingredients
Instructions
-
PREPARE THE SPICE MIXTURE
In a small bowl, combine 1 teaspoon of ground ginger, 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon and 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg. Stir the spices until evenly blended. This ensures the flavors are well-distributed when added to the cream.
Tip: Use freshly ground spices for a stronger and more aromatic flavor profile.
-
MIX THE BASE INGREDIENTS
In a medium mixing bowl, pour 1 cup of heavy cream. Add 2 tablespoons of molasses to the cream, then sprinkle the prepared spice mixture (over the top). Use a spatula or whisk to gently combine the ingredients, ensuring the molasses starts to dissolve into the cream.
Tip: Allow the molasses to sit at room temperature for a few minutes beforehand to make it easier to mix.
-
WHIP THE CREAM
Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer with a whisk attachment, whip the mixture on medium speed. Gradually increase to high speed once the cream begins to thicken. Whip for about 2-3 minutes or until soft peaks form. Be cautious not to over-whip, as the cream can separate into butter.
Tip: Chill your mixing bowl and whisk in the freezer for 10 minutes before starting to ensure the cream whips faster and more evenly.
-
ADJUST AND TASTE
Pause to taste the whipped cream. If you want a stronger flavor, sprinkle a pinch of additional ginger or cinnamon and whip gently by hand to incorporate. This step lets you customize the spice level to your liking.
Tip: Start with small additions of spice, as the flavors intensify after chilling.
-
CHILL THE CREAM
Transfer the whipped Gingerbread Spice Sweet Cream to an airtight container. Place it in the refrigerator for at least 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the cream to set. This step enhances the overall texture and taste.
Tip: Keep the container tightly sealed to prevent the cream from absorbing unwanted odors from the fridge.
-
SERVE THE SWEET CREAM
Spoon the chilled cream onto coffee, hot chocolate or desserts like pies or cakes. Alternatively, use it as a dip for fresh fruits or cookies. Its creamy texture and festive spices pair well with many dishes.
Tip: For an elegant touch, transfer the cream to a piping bag with a decorative tip to create visually appealing swirls on your desserts.
