A quick and easy creamy Irish cream coffee topped with a luscious whipped chocolate cream, perfect for cozy mornings or festive occasions.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) freshly brewed strong coffee
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons (30 to 45 ml) Irish cream liqueur (e.g., Baileys)
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) heavy cream (or dairy-free coconut cream for vegan option)
  • 2 tablespoons (15 g) powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon (5 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) vanilla extract
  • Dark or semi-sweet chocolate shavings for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Brew about 1 cup (240 ml) of strong coffee using a French press, espresso machine, or coffee maker. Set aside to keep warm.
  2. Chill your mixing bowl and beaters in the fridge for 10 minutes before whipping the cream.
  3. Pour 1/2 cup (120 ml) heavy cream into the chilled bowl.
  4. Sift 2 tablespoons (15 g) powdered sugar and 1 tablespoon (5 g) unsweetened cocoa powder into the cream. Add 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) vanilla extract.
  5. Whip the cream mixture on medium-high speed using an electric mixer or whisk until soft peaks form. Avoid overwhipping.
  6. Pour 2 to 3 tablespoons (30 to 45 ml) Irish cream liqueur into the hot coffee and stir gently. Adjust to taste.
  7. Pour the Irish cream coffee into a mug or heatproof glass, leaving room for the whipped chocolate topping.
  8. Spoon or pipe the whipped chocolate cream over the coffee to create a fluffy layer.
  9. Garnish with dark or semi-sweet chocolate shavings if desired.
  10. Serve immediately and enjoy.

Notes

Chill bowl and beaters before whipping cream for best results. Stop whipping at soft peaks to avoid grainy texture. Use strong coffee for best flavor. Non-alcoholic and vegan substitutions are possible. Re-chill whipped topping if it softens before serving.
