Irish Coffee
 
So decadent, it's the perfect final treat to any meal!
Servings: Serves 8
Ingredients
  • 3 cups heavy or whipping cream
  • 7 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 cup Irish whiskey
  • 6 cups hot brewed, rich coffee
  • Directions
    In a large mixing bowl, beat cream and 3 tablespoons sugar until very soft peaks form (consistency should be just pourable). Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

    Heat 8 wineglasses by pouring very hot water into them. Drain water; add 2 tablespoons whiskey to each glass.

    Stir remaining 4 tablespoons sugar into coffee until dissolved. For each drink, fill glass with coffee to within 1 1/4 inch from top. Hold large spoon upside down over top of glass; gradually pour whipped cream over back of spoon onto coffee (cream should float on top, about 1 inch thick). Sprinkle with nutmeg and cinnamon, if desired.
