Ingredients

  • 2 cups coffee, brewed
  • 3 oz Irish cream
  • 2 pinches brown sugar Or add more if you like
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar

Instructions

Whipped cream

  • Pour heavy whipping cream in a mixing bowl. Add granulated sugar.
  • Whip vigorously until soft peaks form.
  • Refrigerate while you make coffee.

Irish coffee

  • Brew your favorite coffee but make sure it is made very strong
  • Divide Bailey's Irish cream between the two mugs
  • Pour hot coffee and stir
  • Spoon whipped cream over top of each mug to your liking
  • Sprinkle brown sugar on top or add to your coffee and stir

Notes

Use a whisk to whip your heavy whipping cream or use a blender.  Make sure stiff peaks form.
You can omit the brown sugar all together if you like.
Drizzle salted caramel or chocolate syrup on top for added sweetness
The whipping cream and Irish cream will create a warm coffee.  If you like your coffee steaming hot, heat up the Bailey's in the microwave for 30 seconds before stirring in your coffee.  Add the whipping cream last.
