CINNAMON WHIPPED CREAM: Before you begin, place your mixing bowl and beaters in the freezer for 5 to 10 minutes to chill. Once chilled, remove the bowl and beaters from the freezer.
Add the heavy whipping cream, confectioners’ sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment OR in a large mixing bowl using a handheld mixer. Beat on low speed. Once the mixture starts to increase in volume, increase the speed to medium-high until stiff peaks form. Do not overbeat. Refrigerate the whipped cream for 1-2 hours or until ready to use. Makes 2 cups.
