Whipped Cream Topping

Directions

1. 1
   Chill a medium-sized mixing bowl (metal works best) and mixer beaters in refrigerator for 15-30 minutes before preparing. Make sure to thoroughly chill whipping cream as well.
2. 2
   Pour all ingredients into the mixing bowl. (Note: You may choose not to add the nutmeg. I like to use it for a surprising, earthy flavor. I also substitute other spices such as cinnamon or cloves if the mood strikes. You may use your discretion).
3. 3
   Beat at low speed at first until mixture begins to bubble and slightly thicken.
4. 4
   Then beat at medium-high speed until beaters begin to leave a trail, and stiff peaks form when tested with the back of a spoon (Note: Do not beat too long, or the mixture will become sweetened butter).
5. 5
   Top dessert of your choice.
6. 6
   Cover and store in refrigerator for 24-48 hours.
