Ingredients

Scale

Irish Whipped Cream

  • 2/3 cup heavy whipping cream (cold)
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup Irish cream (or Baileys)

Cocktail

  • 4 oz Irish cream (or Baileys)
  • 4 oz hazelnut liqueur (like Frangelico)
  • 4 oz Kahlua
  • 4 oz espresso coffee

Garnish

  • 1 tablespoon crushed hazelnuts
  • 1 tablespoon graham cracker crumbs
  • Chocolate sauce (for drizzling)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Irish whipped cream: In a chilled medium bowl, add the cold heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar. Using a hand mixer, whisk together starting at low-medium speed, then increase to high speed and whip until stiff peaks form.
  2. Incorporate Irish cream: Slowly add 1/4 cup Irish cream to the whipped cream while continuing to beat just until combined. Transfer the whipped cream into a piping bag and chill until ready to serve.
  3. Mix the cocktail: In a cocktail shaker, combine 4 oz Irish cream, 4 oz hazelnut liqueur, 4 oz Kahlua, and 4 oz espresso coffee. Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously until the exterior of the shaker feels frosty.
  4. Serve the cocktail: Strain the chilled cocktail mixture evenly into two glasses.
  5. Garnish and finish: Pipe the prepared Irish whipped cream on top of each cocktail. Garnish with crushed hazelnuts, graham cracker crumbs, and a drizzle of chocolate sauce. Serve immediately and enjoy.

Notes

  • Use freshly brewed espresso for the best flavor.
  • Chilling the bowl for whipping cream helps achieve stiff peaks faster.
  • You can substitute hazelnut liqueur with other nut-flavored liqueurs if desired.
  • Prepare the whipped cream just before serving to maintain its texture.
  • For a non-alcoholic version, substitute the liqueurs with coffee syrups.
