Scale
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream (cold)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon brandy flavoring
Instructions
- Chill your equipment: Place mixing bowl and beaters in the freezer for 10 minutes before starting.
- Start whipping: Pour cold heavy cream into the chilled bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until the cream begins to thicken and show ripples, about 1-2 minutes.
- Add sugar gradually: With the mixer running, add half the sugar. Beat for another minute until the cream starts forming soft peaks. Add the remaining sugar and continue beating.
- Watch for stiff peaks: Beat until the cream forms stiff peaks that hold their shape when you lift the beaters, about 3-4 minutes total. The cream should look glossy and smooth.
- Fold in flavoring: Turn off the mixer. Add the freshly grated nutmeg and brandy flavoring. Use a rubber spatula to gently fold the flavorings into the whipped cream with 10-12 gentle strokes. Don’t overmix or the cream will deflate.
- Serve immediately: Use right away or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 2 hours. The whipped cream will hold its shape best when freshly made.
