Ingredients
- Strong black coffee
- 1 cup
- Heavy cream
- 1/4 cup, whipped to soft peaks
- Dark chocolate
- 1 tablespoon, finely shaved
Instructions
- Brew a cup of strong black coffee using your preferred method. This could be a French press, espresso machine, or a simple drip coffee maker. The goal is to get a robust, full-bodied brew.
- While your coffee is brewing, take the heavy cream and whip it until it forms soft peaks. This will give you a luxurious, cloud-like topping for your coffee.
- Pour the freshly brewed coffee into a large, clear mug to showcase the beautiful layers of this beverage.
- Gently spoon the whipped cream on top of the hot coffee, filling the mug to the brim.
- Using a fine grater or a vegetable peeler, shave your dark chocolate directly over the whipped cream until you have a generous sprinkling.
- Serve immediately, taking a moment to appreciate the beautiful layers before stirring to combine the cream with the coffee. Enjoy this indulgent treat as is, or pair it with a light pastry for the ultimate Viennese coffee house experience.
Tips
- For an extra touch of elegance, consider using a dark chocolate with a high cocoa percentage. This will give a more intense flavor that contrasts beautifully with the sweetness of the whipped cream.
- If you prefer your coffee sweetened, consider adding a teaspoon of sugar or a drizzle of honey to the coffee before topping with whipped cream.
