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.
