Ingredients
Scale
Whipped Cream Mixture
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup eggnog
- 1 teaspoon rum extract
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg (plus more for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
Instructions
- Chill your tools: Place a metal mixing bowl and the whisk attachment for your mixer into the freezer for about 10 minutes to ensure everything is cold, which helps the cream whip properly.
- Combine ingredients: Remove the chilled bowl and whisk attachment, then pour the heavy whipping cream, eggnog, rum extract, nutmeg, and powdered sugar into the cold bowl.
- Mix slowly: Start beating the mixture on low speed to blend the ingredients evenly without splashing.
- Whip it good: Gradually increase the mixer speed and continue beating until the mixture thickens and forms soft peaks, giving it a creamy, fluffy texture.
- Decorate: Transfer the whipped cream to a piping bag fitted with a 1M icing tip and swirl it atop your favorite holiday desserts. Sprinkle additional nutmeg on top for a festive garnish.
Notes
- Make sure your bowl and whisk are very cold to help the cream whip faster and better.
- Use fresh eggnog for the best flavor.
- Adjust rum extract to taste; you can omit it if avoiding alcohol flavor.
- Use immediately or keep refrigerated for up to 24 hours; re-whip briefly if needed before serving.
- Nutmeg garnish adds aroma and a festive touch but is optional.
