Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup eggnog
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add the heavy whipping cream, eggnog, granulated sugar, and ground nutmeg to a large mixing bowl, ensuring all components are measured accurately.
- Mix Low Speed: Using a mixer, blend the mixture on low speed until all ingredients are well combined and the sugar starts to dissolve, ensuring an even base.
- Whisk to Stiff Peaks: Increase the mixer speed to medium-high and whisk continuously until stiff peaks form. The whipped cream should hold its shape firmly, which typically takes just a few minutes.
- Serve Immediately: Use the eggnog whipped cream right away to top cakes, cupcakes, hot cocoa, lattes, or other festive treats for a delicious, seasonal touch.
Notes
- For best results, chill the mixing bowl and beaters before whipping to ensure the cream whips faster and holds peaks better.
- You can adjust sweetness by increasing or decreasing the granulated sugar according to taste.
- This whipped cream is best used fresh; it may lose volume if stored for more than a few hours.
- Garnish with a sprinkle of additional nutmeg or cinnamon for extra flavor and presentation.
