Einspanner coffee is a decadent and indulgent way to get your morning caffeine fix.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 ounces brewed espresso (2 shots)
• cocoa powder, for garnish, optional

Directions

1. In a large bowl, beat heavy cream, confectioners' sugar and vanilla extract on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a star tip; chill until ready to use.
2. Pour espresso into a mug. Carefully pipe the whipped cream on top. Be generous; a traditional Einspanner coffee has a 1:1 ratio of cream to espresso. Dust lightly with cocoa powder, if desired. Serve immediately.
