Italian Coffee Cream

Ingredients

• 2 shots Espresso (Approximately 60 ml total; use freshly brewed espresso.)
• 400 ml Heavy whipping cream
• 25 g Sugar
• Cocoa powder (Optional, for garnish; amount to taste.)

Steps

1. 1

   Prepare 2 shots of espresso, then let them cool briefly so they do not excessively warm the cream.

2. 2

   Add the espresso, heavy whipping cream, and sugar to a clean jar with a tightly fitting lid.

3. 3

   Seal the jar securely and shake vigorously for about 5 minutes, until the mixture thickens and you can hear a slapping sound as it moves inside the jar.

4. 4

   Pour the coffee cream into serving glasses and dust with optional cocoa powder before serving.

Notes

The source describes this as a 5-minute preparation. Shake carefully with the lid tightly secured; stop once the cream is thick and smooth rather than continuing until it becomes grainy or turns into butter.
