Spiced Christmas Coffee With Brandied Whipped Cream Recipes

Steps:

• Add the heavy cream and sugar to the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment and whip until it forms soft peaks. Add the brandy and mix in.

Steps:

• Beat whipping cream in large bowl to soft peaks; add powdered sugar and brandy and beat to form peaks.
• Place ground coffee, cardamom, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg in coffee filter.
• Using spoon, mix gently.
• Add water to coffee maker and brew according to manufacturer's instructions.
• After pouring coffee, garnish each mug with a dollop of whipped cream, and serve immediately.

Steps:

• With an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat the cream in a medium bowl until it starts to mound softly, then beat in the confectioners' sugar and brandy. Continue beating until it is just firm. If not using it right away, cover the bowl of whipped cream with plastic wrap and refrigerate it. (The whipped cream can be prepared 1 day ahead.)
• To brew the coffee, use a drip-style coffeepot (preferably an automatic drip coffeemaker) and line the filter cup with a paper filter. Put the coffee, cardamom, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg in the filter. Mix gently with a spoon to combine the spices with the coffee. Add the water to the water chamber, and brew accordingly to the manufacturer's directions.
• To serve, pour the coffee into 8 warm cups and garnish each cup with a generous dollop of the whipped cream. The cream will melt as it floats on top. Serve immediately.
