Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 tbsp powdered sugar (optional)
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
- Optional toppings: Crushed biscuits, granola, or a sprinkle of ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare the Base Cream:
In a large mixing bowl, add 1 cup of heavy whipping cream (or cream cheese if you prefer a thicker consistency). Add 1-2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon and 2-3 tablespoons of sugar. Adjust based on your sweetness preference. - Whip the Mixture:
Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, whip the cream until it reaches soft peaks. This means it should be thick but still smooth enough to fold easily. - Add the Applesauce:
Take 1/2 cup of unsweetened applesauce and gently fold it into the whipped cream mixture. Use a spatula and mix until the two components are fully incorporated but still airy and light. - Taste & Adjust:
Sample the mixture. If you’d like more sweetness, add a little more sugar or a splash of honey. If you want an extra punch of flavor, add a dash of vanilla extract. - Serve Immediately or Chill:
This Zimtcreme (cinnamon cream) can be served immediately for a light and airy texture. Alternatively, refrigerate for 30 minutes to an hour for a chilled, more structured dessert option. - Garnish & Presentation (Optional):
For added flavor and aesthetics, garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon, a drizzle of caramel sauce, or a few toasted nuts on top. - Pair with Your Favorite Dish:
Enjoy it as a topping for pancakes, as a dip for cookies, or simply on its own for a light dessert or snack.
Notes
- For added flavor, use spiced applesauce or mix a pinch of nutmeg into the cream.
- Substitute heavy cream with plant-based whipping cream for a vegan option.
- Adjust the sweetness to taste depending on the applesauce used.
