Ingredients

  • 1 cup strong brewed coffee
  • ¼ cup milk
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. 1

    Brew 1 cup of strong coffee using your preferred method. While it brews, pour 0.25 cup milk into a mug and warm it in the microwave for 30 seconds until steaming.

  2. 2

    Pour the hot coffee into the mug with the warm milk, stirring gently to combine. Set aside.

  3. 3

    In a chilled bowl, combine 0.5 cup heavy cream, 1 tablespoon powdered sugar, and 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract. Beat with a hand mixer on medium-high until soft peaks form, about 2-3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Spoon the whipped cream generously over the coffee, creating a fluffy top. Serve immediately, optionally dusting with a pinch of cocoa or cinnamon if you have it.

  5. 5

    Enjoy your creamy, comforting coffee while the whipped cream is still cold and airy.
