Dolloped atop pumpkin pie
Swooped onto a slice of apple cake
Spooned onto baked apples and swirled into the accompanying juices

Recipe Testers’ Reviews

Sara Rounsavall

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.

Adrienne Lee

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.

Susan Bingaman

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

Chocolate Muffins

Those of us who prefer a restrained sweetness and a more pronounced cocoa taste will adore these muffins. Nothing overtly sweet here. And we’re okay with that.

    I found your recipe searching for a way to infuse chai flavour into whipped cream, after I ate some peach slices using a spoon I had been using to stir my chai tea.

    So the other night I made up a batch of this stuff from your recipe and it was perfect. Try it on peaches.

  3. So scrumptious! I made the banana muffins to top with the spiced whipped cream, wow! This morning I made French toast and used it on top instead of butter. Again, I say, wow! Thanks for sharing such a delightful and simple recipe!
