Ingredients

▢ 6 ½ fluid ounces hot coffee medium or dark roast
▢ 3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
▢ ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
▢ 1 ½ fluid ounces Irish Cream Whiskey

Toppings

▢ cocoa powder for dusting
▢ chocolate curls and shavings

Instructions

Brew the hot coffee in your preferred brewing method.
While the coffee is brewing, froth the heavy cream into a thick consistency using an electric whisk. It should be thicker than latte foam, but not so thick it can form peaks.
Pour the hot coffee and Irish cream into a mug and stir gently with a spoon.
Top with the lightly whipped heavy cream. Let it sit on top of the drink, do not mix in.
If desired, dust the top with cocoa powder and add chocolate chocolate curls. Sip and enjoy!

Notes

The easiest tool for whipping the heavy cream is an electric, handheld frother, designed for frothing milk. It's the perfect size for whipping such a small amount of cream. Full sized mixers may be a bit difficult because of the size discrepancy.
Use a medium or dark roast for the coffee. Ideally, something that's "smooth" or "chocolatey".
You can make a non-alcoholic version of this by using a non-alcoholic Irish Cream instead of an Irish Cream Whiskey.
