Recipe Testers’ Reviews

This chai spiced whipped cream…wowzers! This spiced cream contains loads of potential for future applications. You will dream about what else you could slather this onto or stir it into—graham crackers, ice cream, pie, cake, cookies, coffee or tea, doughnuts, waffles, the possibilities go on and on. I did cut the sugar in half for the whipped cream, as I personally don’t like things overly sweet.

I bet you could serve this chai spiced whipped cream with pumpkin pecan pie. I also think you could use pumpkin pie spice as a sub for all the individual spices.

This chai whipped cream would be fabulous slathered on spice cake, pumpkin pie, or just a spoon.
