Eggnog Whipped Cream Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly spray a 9-by-9-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
• Whisk together the butter with the sugar and molasses in a large bowl. Whisk in the eggs, half-and-half and vanilla until smooth. Whisk in the salt, spices, orange zest and orange juice. Fold in the sweet potatoes. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, then smooth the top and cover with foil.
• Bake until the center is set and the potatoes are soft, about 40 minutes. Remove the foil and bake until caramelized on top, another 10 minutes. Cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes, and serve with Eggnog Whipped Cream.
• Add the heavy cream and confectioners' sugar to the chilled bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment (or a chilled large bowl if using a hand mixer) and whisk on high speed until stiff peaks form, about 2 minutes. Gently fold in the eggnog and nutmeg, being careful not to break the whipped cream.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°. In a large saucepan, bring water, butter and salt to a rolling boil. Add flour all at once and nutmeg and stir until blended. Cook over medium heat, stirring vigorously until mixture pulls away from sides of pan. Remove from heat; let stand 5 minutes., Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition until smooth. Continue beating until mixture is smooth and shiny. Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls 1 in. apart onto greased baking sheets. Bake 30-35 minutes or until puffed, very firm and golden brown. Pierce sides of each puff with tip of a knife. Cool on wire racks. Cut top third off each puff., In a large bowl, beat cream until it begins to thicken. Add confectioners' sugar, eggnog, vanilla and nutmeg; beat until soft peaks form. Just before serving, fill cream puffs with whipped cream; replace tops. Dust with additional confectioners' sugar. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Cream egg yolks and sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Set aside.
• Combine milk, whipping cream, and nutmeg in a large saucepan. Cook over medium heat until mixture just begins to simmer with 1 to 2 bubbles every 2 to 3 seconds, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• Add a very small amount of the hot milk mixture into the egg yolk mixture while constantly whisking the eggs. Continue adding small amounts of the milk mixture, whisking until all has been added; transfer eggnog back into the saucepan. Continue to cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until liquid reaches 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Pour eggnog into a large pitcher, cover, and refrigerate 6 hours to overnight.
• Blend cooled eggnog with an immersion blender until no lumps remain, about 1 minute. Ladle into 7 cups and top each with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 10x15-inch jelly roll pan with foil. Spray the foil and the sides of the pan with nonstick spray.
• Place eggs in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer on high speed for 5 minutes. Gradually beat in sugar, molasses, and applesauce.
• Stir flour, cinnamon, baking powder, ginger, allspice, and salt together in a separate bowl. Add to the wet ingredients and mix to combine. Spread into the prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Lay a kitchen towel on a work surface and sprinkle liberally with 1/4 cup powdered sugar, or as needed. Remove cake from the oven and immediately turn out onto the towel.
• Start at the narrow end and roll the towel and cake together. Let sit until completely cool, about 2 hours. The cake will be sticky, soft, and spongy; it might come off a little on your fingers, but that's okay.
• Place mascarpone cheese in a medium mixing bowl. Beat with a hand mixer or an electric wire whisk and gradually add vanilla, followed by 1 cup powdered sugar. Slowly add whipping cream and continue to beat until icing becomes light and fluffy. Mix in eggnog.
• Unroll the cooled cake and gently remove the towel. Spread about 1/2 of the filling over the cake, leaving about 1/2 inch uncovered at the edges. Start at the narrow end and re-roll the cake. As you roll, the filling will shift a little and you may need to remove some if you've put too much on; that's okay, just have a knife handy to scrape off any excess as you roll.
• Cut into slices. Top with remaining filling and dust with cinnamon and powdered sugar. Or, wrap cake in plastic wrap before slicing, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before serving.

Steps:

• Make the crust: Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180˚C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie tin with nonstick spray.
• Add the gingersnap cookies and pecans to a food processor and pulse until finely ground. Transfer to a medium bowl and stir in the sugar, ginger, nutmeg, and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the melted butter, then mix until well incorporated.
• Transfer the cookie crumb mixture to the prepared pie tin, then use a flat-bottomed measuring cup or drinking glass to press evenly against the bottom and up the sides. Refrigerate for 15 minutes.
• Bake the pie crust for 15 minutes, until golden brown and set. Remove from the oven and let cool while you make the filling.
• Make the filling: Add the sugar and cornstarch to a medium saucepan and whisk very well to remove any lumps. Gradually pour in the eggnog, whisking between additions, to prevent lumps. Whisk in the egg yolks, nutmeg, and salt. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the custard thickens to the consistency of pudding and starts to boil, 4-6 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and whisk in the butter, brandy, and rum, if using, until smooth.
• Pour the custard over the cooled crust and cover the pie with plastic wrap, pressing directly against the surface of the custard to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate for 2-3 hours, until completely set.
• Just before serving, make the whipped cream: In a medium bowl, whip the cream with an electric hand mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form, 1-2 minutes. (Alternatively, use a whisk to whip the cream until soft peaks form, 2-3 minutes.) Add the powdered sugar and vanilla and whip until medium peaks form and the cream holds its shape, 1-2 minutes more; do not over whip.
• Dollop the whipped cream on top of the pie. Top with caramel syrup, gingersnap cookie crumbs, toasted pecan pieces, and nutmeg.
• Enjoy!
