Recipe Notes

• You could make the whipped cream by hand using a mixing bowl and whisk. This does take a little more time and some muscles!

• Store the eggnog whipped cream in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days.

• Stiff peaks is when the whipped cream holds its shape and does not collapse. The photo does not reflect stiff peaks but soft peaks. 

Here's how to make it:

1. Put the cold heavy cream into a mixing bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on medium until stiff peaks form, about 3 minutes. 
2. Add the powdered sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon and spiced rum or extract. Beat again until combined and back to stiff peaks. 
3. Add the eggnog, about 1 tablespoon at a time, until thoroughly combined and creamy.
