Spiced Americano With Cinnamon Whipped Cream Recipes

SPICED CREAM

Steps:

• Beat the cream with an electric mixer on high speed in a large mixing bowl for about 2 minutes. Add the sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg and beat again until the mixture thickens and forms stiff peaks, another 1 to 2 minutes.

CINNAMON WHIPPED CREAM

Steps:

• Pour heavy cream into chilled glass bowl (I use a small but deep glass bowl).
• Beat on high speed.
• Slowly add sugar, cinnamon and vanilla.
• Continue beating until stiff peaks form.
• Tip: When making whipped cream I dampen a paper towel with vinegar and wipe the inside of a glass bowl with it.
• Continue to wipe until dry and place inside freezer with beaters or whisk.
• Leave in freezer for 10 minutes to chill then use to make whipped cream.

AMERICANO

Steps:

• Mix equal parts Campari and sweet vermouth in a tall ice-filled glass. Top with seltzer and garnish with an orange wedge.

CAFE AMERICANO

Steps:

• Make a shot of espresso coffee and pour it into a 6-ounce cup. Add boiling water into the cup until the coffee reaches the top. Have steamed milk on the side to add, along with a sugar cube.

APPLE ZEPPOLE WITH CINNAMON WHIPPED CREAM

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan combine the butter, salt, sugar, and water over medium heat. Bring to a boil. Take pan off the heat and stir in the flour. Return the pan to medium heat and stir continuously until mixture forms a ball, about 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer the flour mixture to a medium bowl. Using an electric hand mixer on low speed, add eggs, one at a time, incorporating each egg completely before adding the next. Beat until smooth. Add the grated apple and stir to combine. If not frying immediately, cover with plastic wrap and reserve in the refrigerator.
• Combine the whipping cream, 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar, and cinnamon in a
• medium bowl. Whip until medium soft peaks form. Transfer the whipping cream to a serving dish.
• Meanwhile, pour enough oil into a large frying pan to reach a depth of 2 inches. Heat the oil over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 325 degrees F.
• Using a small ice-cream scooper or 2 small spoons, carefully drop about a rounded tablespoon of the dough into the hot olive oil. Turn the zeppole once or twice, and cook until golden and puffed up, about 4 minutes. Fry the zeppole in batches so as not to overcrowd the pan. Drain on paper towels. Transfer the zeppole to a serving dish and sprinkle with powdered sugar using a small sieve. Serve with the cinnamon whipped cream alongside for dipping.
