The flavor you choose will depend on the flavor profile of the dessert you'll dollop it on-warm spice will enhance this rosy apple tart, while orange peel will serve as a bright complement to pumpkin. Lastly, intense coffee bean will bring out the sweet nuttiness of a slice of classic pecan pie.

CINNAMON-BASIL ICE CREAM
I started experimenting with herbal ice creams when I was teaching classes at our local college. Not only were the ice creams popular with my students, but my family loved them as well! One of our favorites is made with a variety of basil called cinnamon basil; however, unless you grow the variety yourself, it can be rather difficult to find. I decided to try to re-create the flavor, and this delicious basil ice cream recipe is the result! —Sue Gronholz, Beaver Dam, Wisconsin

CINNAMON WHIPPED CREAM
The inspiration for the whipped cream came from Bon Appetit December 2002 issue. I've changed the measurements to my own taste. This whipped cream is delicious on anything with apples such as pie, cobbler and apple bread (see recipe 76946 for a great combo). Also would be nice on top of hot chocolate or coffee!

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.
Tips:
- Use fresh basil and cinnamon sticks for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh basil, you can use 1 tablespoon of dried basil.
- Make sure the heavy cream is very cold before whipping it. This will help it whip up quickly and smoothly.
- Don't over-whip the heavy cream, or it will become grainy.
- If you want a stronger cinnamon flavor, you can add a cinnamon stick to the heavy cream while it's heating.
- This whipped cream can be used to top desserts, such as pies, cakes, and ice cream. It can also be used as a filling for éclairs and profiteroles.
Conclusion:
Cinnamon basil infused whipped cream is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert topping. It's perfect for special occasions or everyday treats. With its unique flavor, this whipped cream will add a touch of elegance to any dessert.
