Servings: 2

Ingredients

  • Strong brewed coffee (2 cups)
  • Irish cream liqueur (4 tablespoons)
  • Whipped cream (2 dollops)
  • Chocolate shavings (2 tablespoons)

Instructions

  1. Brew a strong coffee of your preference. The strength of the coffee should be enough to balance the sweetness of the Irish cream liqueur.
  2. Pour the freshly brewed coffee into two large mugs, filling each about 3/4 full. This leaves ample room for the Irish cream liqueur and whipped cream.
  3. Carefully add 2 tablespoons of Irish cream liqueur to each mug. Stir gently until the liqueur is fully incorporated into the coffee.
  4. Generously top each mug with a dollop of whipped cream. The cream should float on top of the coffee, creating a beautiful contrast.
  5. Finish off with a sprinkle of rich chocolate shavings on top of the whipped cream. This adds an extra layer of flavor and a touch of elegance.
  6. Serve your Authentic Irish Cream Coffee hot, ensuring to enjoy the layered flavors with each sip.
