Ingredients
3 cups Heavy whipping cream
7 tablespoons Sugar
1 cup Irish whiskey
6 cups Rich, hot brewed coffee
Ground nutmeg or cinnamon (optional garnish)
Directions
Pour the heavy whipping cream into a chilled bowl and whip with an electric mixer or whisk until soft peaks form. Add 3 tablespoons of the sugar and continue whipping until the mixture reaches stiff peaks and is light and fluffy. Set aside.
Brew strong, rich coffee and divide the hot coffee among 8 heat-safe glasses or mugs (about 3/4 cup per serving).
Add 2 tablespoons of Irish whiskey to each glass of hot coffee, stirring gently to combine.
Add 1/2 teaspoon of the remaining sugar to each drink and stir until dissolved.
Top each glass with a generous spoonful of the whipped cream, allowing it to float on the surface of the warm coffee.
If desired, lightly dust the whipped cream with ground nutmeg or cinnamon. Serve immediately and enjoy by sipping the coffee through the cream layer.
