🛒 Ingredients You’ll Need:

• 1 cup cold heavy cream (or whipping cream)

• 2 tablespoons instant coffee or strong brewed espresso, cooled

🥣 How to Make It (In Just a Few Minutes!):

Step 1: Whip the Cream

In a mixing bowl, pour the cold heavy cream and whip it until soft peaks begin to form. You can use a hand mixer, stand mixer, or even a whisk (if you're feeling energetic!).

Step 2: Add Coffee & Sugar

Sprinkle in the instant coffee (or pour in cooled espresso), powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Continue whipping until you get a light, mousse-like texture.

☕ Quick Tip: If using instant coffee, dissolve it in just a teaspoon of hot water before adding it to the mix for a smoother blend.

Step 3: Serve Immediately

Spoon into small dessert cups or glasses. Top with crushed ice, cocoa powder, shaved chocolate, or a dusting of cinnamon.

Step 4: Enjoy!

You can eat it right away or chill it for a few minutes if you prefer it extra cold.
