How to Make Coffee Liqueur With Vanilla Cinnamon Cream
- In a medium bowl, use an electric mixer to beat 1 cup of heavy cream until soft peaks form.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of icing sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla bean paste.
- Gently fold the icing sugar mixture into the whipped cream using a large metal spoon until just combined.
- Evenly pour 1/2 cup of coffee liqueur into 4 serving glasses.
- Add 2 tablespoons of freshly brewed strong coffee to each glass.
- Top each glass with a generous spoonful of the vanilla cinnamon cream mixture.
- Sprinkle with a pinch of ground cinnamon.
- Serve immediately and enjoy! (Optional: Add a splash of Kahlua for an extra kick!)
- *Make-ahead tip:* Prepare the cream mixture (steps 1 & 2) up to 1 day in advance. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. Continue from step 3 just before serving.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
