Substitution ratio: 1 tsp Ground Nutmeg = ½ tsp Ground Allspice
Effects on Your Baking
Allspice has warming notes reminiscent of nutmeg along with cinnamon and clove overtones. It's a reasonable stand-in when nutmeg isn't available, but it's more complex and assertive. Use half the amount since allspice is stronger. In custards and cream-based desserts where nutmeg's delicate warmth is the star, the difference is more noticeable.
