There’s only one way to describe this: Decadent. I love whipped cream and I’m always trying to find ways to add a one-of-a-kind flair when I make it at home. This one is definitely a winner! Start out by chilling your whipping cream so that it’s nice and cold. One of the best tips I’ve ever received in making whipped cream is to make sure everything is cold. So chill your bowl, chill your cream, chill your rum, and if you want to you can even chill your whisk or beater attachments!
