Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 ml Dry cider
- 250 ml Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons Granulated sugar
- 1 stick Optional garnish: cinnamon stick
- 0.25 teaspoon Optional garnish: grated nutmeg
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the dry cider, lemon juice, lemon zest, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the cider is just warm (about 5 minutes). Do not let it boil.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the cider mixture cool slightly while you prepare the whipped cream.
In a chilled mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream and powdered sugar. Whip using a handheld electric mixer or a whisk until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip. The cream should be fluffy but still silky in texture.
Divide the warm cider mixture evenly between four serving glasses or mugs.
Spoon a generous dollop of whipped cream on top of each serving of cider.
Optional: Garnish each glass with a cinnamon stick or a light dusting of freshly grated nutmeg for added flair.
Serve immediately with a small spoon or stirrer for mixing the whipped cream into the cider. Enjoy!
