11 Clove-Spiced Recipes: Sweet and Savory

Whether you’re craving a warm, spiced dessert or a savory dish with a cozy kick, cloves add that unmistakable depth to both sweet and savory recipes. From simmering stews to fragrant cookies, this roundup of 11 clove-spiced ideas will inspire your next culinary adventure. Let’s dive in!

Clove-Spiced Pumpkin Soup

Every time autumn rolls around, I get a little obsessed with pumpkin soup—but this clove-spiced version has become my signature. The warm, aromatic cloves paired with nutmeg create a cozy bowl that feels like a hug on a chilly day.

Serving: 4 | Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

For the Soup Base

• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 (15 oz) can pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
• 2 cups vegetable broth
• 1 cup heavy cream (or canned coconut milk for dairy-free)

For the Spice Blend

• 1 tsp ground cloves
• 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg (preferably freshly grated)
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper

For Garnish

• 2 tbsp pepitas (pumpkin seeds), toasted
• 1 tbsp fresh chives, chopped

Instructions

1. In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
2. Stir in the ground cloves and nutmeg. Cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly, to toast the spices—this deepens their flavor. (Tip: Toasting spices in hot fat releases their essential oils, making the soup more aromatic.)
3. Add the pumpkin puree and vegetable broth, whisking to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. Using an immersion blender (or carefully transferring to a countertop blender), blend the soup until completely smooth. For a countertop blender, blend in batches and remove the center cap to let steam escape, covering with a towel.
5. Return the blended soup to the pot. Stir in the heavy cream, salt, and pepper. Heat over low heat until warmed through, about 3 minutes. Do not boil or the cream may curdle. (Tip: If you prefer a thinner soup, add extra broth or water 1/4 cup at a time.)
6. Taste and adjust seasoning—sometimes I add a pinch more nutmeg for warmth. Ladle into bowls and garnish with toasted pepitas and fresh chives.

Drizzling a swirl of extra cream on top and a few cracks of black pepper makes this look as good as it tastes. The soup is luxuriously velvety with a gentle spice kick that lingers—perfect with crusty bread for dunking. I often make a double batch because it disappears fast!

Clove-Infused Baked Apples

Getting ready for fall baking always makes me think of cozy evenings. These clove-infused baked apples bring that warm spice aroma right into your kitchen. They're simple enough for a weekday treat but impressive enough for guests.

Serving: 4 | Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

For the Filling

• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 cup chopped pecans (optional)

For the Apples and Baking

• 4 large Granny Smith apples
• 1/2 cup apple cider or water

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F. Core the apples using a melon baller or small spoon, leaving the bottom intact to hold the filling. Tip: cut a thin slice off the bottom if needed so they sit flat.
2. In a small bowl, mix together the softened butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and pecans until well combined. This spiced butter is the heart of the dish.
3. Stuff each apple cavity with the butter mixture, pressing firmly. Arrange the apples in a baking dish just large enough to hold them without tipping. Pour the apple cider or water into the dish around the apples.
4. Bake for 40–45 minutes, basting every 15 minutes with the pan juices, until the apples are tender when pierced with a fork but not falling apart. Tip: if the apples brown too quickly, tent loosely with foil halfway through.
5. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. The clove and cinnamon juices will thicken slightly into a syrupy sauce. Spoon the pan juices over the apples before serving.

Once baked, these apples turn tender and the clove-cinnamon butter creates a luscious sauce. Serve them warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a perfect fall dessert.

Clove-Spiced Beef Stew

Just when the chill sets in, there's nothing quite like a bowl of clove-spiced beef stew to warm you from the inside out. I love how the aromatic cloves add a surprising depth to this classic comfort dish.

Serving: 6 | Prep Time: 20 minutes | Cooking Time: 2 minutes

Ingredients

For the Beef

• 2 lbs beef chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil

For the Aromatics

• 1 large onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp tomato paste
• 1 tsp ground cloves
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• 2 bay leaves

For the Broth and Vegetables

• 4 cups beef broth
• 3 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
• 2 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed

Instructions

1. In a bowl, toss the beef cubes with flour, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
2. Heat vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Working in batches, brown the beef on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per batch. Transfer browned beef to a plate. Tip: Do not crowd the pot to ensure proper browning.
3. Reduce heat to medium. Add diced onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
4. Stir in tomato paste, ground cloves, dried thyme, and bay leaves. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until very fragrant.
5. Pour in beef broth, using a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot for added flavor. Return the browned beef to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 1 hour 30 minutes.
6. Add sliced carrots and cubed potatoes to the pot. Continue to simmer, uncovered, for 30-40 minutes, until the vegetables are tender and the stew has thickened. Tip: For a thicker stew, mash a few potato cubes against the side of the pot with the spoon. Remove bay leaves before serving.
7. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Serve hot.

Nothing beats the rich, aromatic broth of this stew—the cloves lend a warmth that lingers. Serve it with crusty bread to sop up every last drop, or over egg noodles for a heartier meal.

Clove and Honey Glazed Carrots

Have you ever wondered how to make carrots taste like dessert? These clove and honey glazed carrots are my go-to when I want a side dish that feels special without much fuss. The warm spice of clove pairs perfectly with sweet honey, turning ordinary carrots into a caramelized delight.

Serving: 4 | Prep Time: 10 minutes | Cooking Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

For the Roasted Carrots

• 1 lb carrots, peeled and cut into 2-inch sticks
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper

For the Glaze

• 3 tbsp honey
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1/2 tsp ground cloves

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
2. Peel the carrots and cut them into sticks about 2 inches long and 1/2 inch thick. Try to keep them uniform so they roast evenly.
3. In a large bowl, toss the carrot sticks with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until well coated. Spread them in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
4. Roast for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the carrots are tender and starting to brown at the edges.
5. While the carrots roast, make the glaze: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine honey, butter, and ground cloves. Stir until the butter melts and the mixture is smooth. Let it simmer for 1–2 minutes, then remove from heat. (Tip: Don't let it boil too long or it will thicken and harden.)
6. After 20 minutes, remove the carrots from the oven. Pour the glaze over the carrots and toss gently to coat. Return to the oven and roast for another 5–7 minutes, until the glaze is bubbly and sticky. (Tip: Watch closely to prevent burning—honey can caramelize quickly.)
7. Transfer the glazed carrots to a serving platter. Let them cool for 2–3 minutes so the glaze sets slightly. (Tip: If you want extra shine, brush with a bit of melted butter before serving.)

Glistening with a sticky-sweet glaze, these carrots are tender on the inside with a slight caramelized crunch on the edges. The subtle clove warmth makes them feel like a holiday treat, but they’re easy enough for a weeknight dinner. I love serving them alongside roasted chicken or pork, but honestly, I’ve been known to eat the leftovers straight from the fridge.

Clove-Spiced Gingerbread Cookies

Zipping through the holiday season without a batch of gingerbread cookies is unthinkable! These clove-spiced beauties are my go-to for that warm, spicy kick—perfect for dunking in milk or decorating with royal icing.

Serving: 24 | Prep Time: 20 minutes | Cooking Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves

Wet Ingredients

• 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup molasses
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, ginger, cinnamon, and cloves in a medium bowl. Set aside.
2. In a large bowl, beat butter and brown sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Tip: Make sure your butter is truly softened—cold butter won't cream properly.
3. Add molasses, egg, and vanilla; beat until combined. The mixture may look slightly curdled, that's okay.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low just until incorporated. Do not overmix or cookies will be tough. Scrape down the bowl as needed.
5. Divide dough into two discs, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or up to 3 days). Chilling makes the dough easier to roll and enhances the flavor.
6. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
7. On a lightly floured surface, roll one disc of dough to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut into shapes with cookie cutters. Tip: Dip cutters in flour between cuts to prevent sticking.
8. Place cookies 1 inch apart on prepared baking sheets. Bake for 8-10 minutes, until edges are set and just beginning to brown. For chewy centers, pull them out when the tops look slightly soft. Cool on sheet for 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

Zo, these cookies are crisp on the edges and chewy in the center. Try them with a dollop of whipped cream or crushed candy canes for extra crunch!

Clove-Seasoned Rice Pilaf

Just yesterday, I was craving something warm and aromatic to pair with a simple roast chicken, and this clove-seasoned rice pilaf hit the spot perfectly. The subtle spice from the cloves adds a cozy depth that makes everyday rice feel special.

Serving: 4 | Prep Time: 10 minutes | Cooking Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

For the Rice Base

• 1 cup basmati rice
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 small yellow onion, finely diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 4 whole cloves
• 1 bay leaf
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

For the Liquid

• 1 1/2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
• 1/2 cup water

For Garnish

• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 tablespoons toasted sliced almonds (optional)

Instructions

1. Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain well. (This removes excess starch and keeps the pilaf fluffy.)
2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the whole cloves and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds until fragrant. (Don't let them burn, or they'll turn bitter.)
3. Add the diced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for 4–5 minutes until softened and translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
4. Stir in the rinsed rice, bay leaf, and salt. Cook for 1–2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the rice is lightly toasted and coated in butter.
5. Pour in the broth and water, increase heat to high, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, and simmer for 15 minutes. (Do not lift the lid during simmering, or the steam will escape.)
6. Remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit, still covered, for 5 minutes. This allows the rice to finish steaming and become perfectly tender.
7. Uncover, discard the bay leaf and whole cloves (if you can find them—they're easy to spot). Fluff the rice gently with a fork to separate grains.
8. Stir in the chopped parsley and toasted almonds (if using). Serve warm.

A forkful of this pilaf delivers a subtle warmth from the cloves and a fluffy texture that's never gummy. I love serving it alongside braised lamb or roasted vegetables—the mild herbal notes complement almost anything.

Clove and Citrus Roasted Chicken

You know how some recipes just feel like a warm hug? This clove and citrus roasted chicken is exactly that—a juicy, aromatic centerpiece that fills your kitchen with the best kind of nostalgia. I first made it for a Sunday dinner and it's been a staple ever since.

Serving: 4 | Prep Time: 20 minutes | Cooking Time: 1 minutes

Ingredients

For the Marinade

• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1/4 cup fresh orange juice
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

For the Chicken

• 1 whole chicken (3-4 lbs), giblets removed
• 1 orange, quartered
• 1 lemon, quartered
• 1 onion, quartered

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, orange juice, lemon juice, garlic, ground cloves, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
2. Place the chicken in a large resealable bag or dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, turning to coat evenly. Seal and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best flavor. Tip: For maximum flavor, massage the marinade under the skin of the chicken breasts and thighs.
3. Preheat your oven to 425°F. Remove the chicken from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 20 minutes. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels—this ensures crispy skin.
4. Stuff the cavity of the chicken with the quartered orange, lemon, and onion. Tie the legs together with kitchen twine and tuck the wing tips under the body.
5. Place the chicken breast-side up on a rack set inside a roasting pan. Roast for 15 minutes at 425°F, then reduce the oven temperature to 375°F and continue roasting for 50-60 minutes, basting once with pan juices halfway through. The chicken is done when a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh registers 165°F. Tip: If the skin is browning too quickly, tent loosely with foil.
6. Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest on a cutting board for 15 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute. Tip: Discard the stuffing from the cavity before carving.

Make sure to let the chicken rest before carving to keep it juicy. The citrus and clove combination is so unique—it pairs beautifully with roasted vegetables or a simple salad. I love serving it with a side of couscous to soak up all those pan juices.

Clove-Spiced Pear Tart

A while back, I found myself with a basket of perfectly ripe pears and a sudden craving for something warm and spiced. This clove-spiced pear tart was born on a lazy Sunday afternoon, and it's been a fall favorite ever since. The combination of tender pears, fragrant cloves, and nutty almond cream is pure comfort.

Serving: 8 | Prep Time: 30 minutes | Cooking Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

For the crust

• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg yolk
• 2 tablespoons ice water
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

For the almond cream

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup almond flour
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves

For the pear topping

• 3 medium ripe but firm pears (e.g., Bosc or Anjou)
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
• 2 tablespoons apricot jam (for glaze)

Instructions

1. Make the crust: In a food processor, pulse flour, sugar, and salt. Add cold butter cubes and pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add egg yolk and ice water; pulse until dough just comes together. (Tip: Don't overwork—you want flaky, not tough.)
2. Turn dough out onto plastic wrap, flatten into a disk, wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
3. Preheat oven to 375°F. On a floured surface, roll dough to a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a 9-inch tart pan with removable bottom. Press into pan, trim excess, and prick bottom with a fork. Freeze for 10 minutes.
4. Line crust with foil and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 15 minutes, then remove foil and weights. Bake another 5 minutes until lightly golden. (Tip: This blind-baking ensures a crisp bottom.)
5. Meanwhile, make almond cream: In a medium bowl, beat softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add almond flour, eggs, vanilla, and cloves; mix until smooth. Set aside.
6. Prepare pears: Peel, halve, and core pears. Cut each half into thin slices (about 1/4 inch). Toss with lemon juice, sugar, and ground cloves. (Tip: Choose pears that are just ripe—too soft and they'll turn mushy.)
7. Spread almond cream evenly over pre-baked crust. Arrange pear slices in concentric circles over the cream, overlapping slightly.
8. Bake tart at 375°F for 30–35 minutes, until almond cream is puffed and golden, and pears are tender. (Tip: If edges brown too fast, tent with foil.)
9. While tart bakes, warm apricot jam with 1 teaspoon water until runny. Brush over hot pears for a glossy finish.
10. Let tart cool in pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes before removing sides. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Warm out of the oven, the tart has a buttery, flaky crust, a soft almond filling that's subtly spicy from the cloves, and sweet pears that melt in your mouth. I love serving it with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream—the cool creaminess balances the warm spice perfectly. It's the kind of dessert that makes you want to curl up with a cup of tea and savor every bite.

Clove-Infused Coconut Curry

Craving a bowl of something cozy and aromatic? This clove-infused coconut curry has become my favorite weeknight comfort food—the warm clove notes make the coconut cream feel even more luxurious.

Serving: 4 | Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

For the Curry Base

• 2 tablespoons coconut oil
• 1 large yellow onion, diced
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
• 6 whole cloves
• 2 teaspoons curry powder
• 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 cans (13.5 oz each) full-fat coconut milk

For the Protein and Vegetables

• 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch cubes (or substitute firm tofu)
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 2 cups fresh spinach

For Garnish

• Fresh cilantro, chopped
• Lime wedges

Instructions

1. Heat the coconut oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat until shimmering.
2. Add the diced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. (Tip: Don't rush this step—caramelizing the onion builds depth.)
3. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
4. Add the whole cloves, curry powder, turmeric, cumin, salt, and pepper. Toast the spices for 30 seconds, stirring constantly, until they become aromatic. (Tip: Toasting whole cloves briefly releases their essential oils without burning.)
5. Pour in the coconut milk and stir well to combine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
6. Add the chicken (or tofu) and bell pepper slices to the pot. Reduce heat to low, cover, and let cook for 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and tender. (Tip: Simmer gently to keep the coconut milk from splitting.)
7. Stir in the fresh spinach and cook just until wilted, about 2 minutes.
8. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed—I often add a pinch more salt or a squeeze of lime at this point.
9. Remove the whole cloves before serving (or warn guests to watch for them).

Rich, creamy, and deeply fragrant, this curry is perfect over jasmine rice or with naan for sopping up every last drop. I love making a double batch because it tastes even better the next day!

Clove and Almond Biscotti

Ever since I discovered the magic of clove and almond together, I've been obsessed with this biscotti. It's crunchy, not too sweet, and the spices make your kitchen smell heavenly. Plus, they keep for weeks – if you can resist eating them all at once!

Serving: 24 | Prep Time: 20 minutes | Cooking Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

For the Biscotti Dough

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup almond flour
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cloves
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

For the Almond Addition

• 3/4 cup sliced almonds

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, almond flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cloves. (Tip: For extra flavor, lightly toast the almond flour in a dry skillet before adding.)
3. In a large bowl, beat the eggs, vanilla extract, almond extract, and melted butter until smooth.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet, mixing with a spatula just until a dough comes together. (Tip: Overworking the dough will make the biscotti tough, so stop as soon as no dry streaks remain.)
5. Fold in the sliced almonds evenly.
6. Divide the dough in half. On the prepared baking sheet, shape each half into a log about 12 inches long and 2 inches wide. (Tip: Use lightly dampened hands to prevent sticking.)
7. Bake for 25 minutes, until the logs are golden brown and feel firm to the touch. Let them cool on the sheet for 10 minutes. (Tip: Cooling makes slicing cleaner – don't skip this!)
8. Reduce oven temperature to 325°F. Using a serrated knife, slice each log diagonally into 1/2-inch thick slices.
9. Arrange the slices cut-side down on the baking sheet. Bake for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crisp and lightly toasted.
10. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely. (Tip: They'll continue to crisp as they cool – resist the urge to eat them warm.)

Zippy clove and toasty almond flavors dance in every crunchy bite. These biscotti are made for dunking – try them with a latte or a glass of cold milk. They also make a fantastic edible gift when wrapped in a cellophane bag tied with twine.

Clove-Spiced Hot Chocolate

You know those chilly afternoons when only a rich, spiced hot chocolate will do? This clove-spiced version brings warmth to your bones with every sip, and it's so easy to whisk up at home. I love making this on rainy weekends—the aroma of cloves and chocolate fills the kitchen.

Serving: 4 | Prep Time: 5 minutes | Cooking Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

• 2 cups whole milk
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar

• 4 ounces dark chocolate (70% cacao), finely chopped
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves, plus more for garnish
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt
• Whipped cream, for serving (optional)

Instructions

1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, whisk together milk, heavy cream, sugar, cocoa powder, and salt until smooth and steaming, about 3–4 minutes. Do not let it boil.
2. Reduce heat to low and add chopped dark chocolate and ground cloves. Whisk constantly until chocolate is fully melted and mixture is smooth, about 2 minutes. (Tip: Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor.)
3. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Taste and adjust sweetness or clove level if desired. (Tip: If you prefer a stronger clove flavor, add an extra 1/4 teaspoon.)
4. Pour into mugs and top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of extra ground cloves if desired. Serve immediately. (Tip: For an extra indulgent treat, use a cinnamon stick as a stirrer.)

Every sip of this clove-spiced hot chocolate is like a cozy hug in a mug. The clove adds a subtle warmth that complements the rich chocolate beautifully—perfect for a snowy evening or a quiet night in. I like to top mine with extra whipped cream and a pinch of cloves for an extra pop.
