Caffe Francais

by Sean Paajanen
for About.com

It's not often that you add the topping before the coffee. The dollops of freshly whipped and sweetened cream will rise through the coffee for a floating cloud effect. Very snazzy.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup heavy cream, chilled
  • 1/4 cup confectioners sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 3 cups coffee, hot

Preparation:

Beat cream until rich and fluffy, with soft peaks. The mix in the sugar, and continue to beat until you have stiff peaks. Split whipped cream between 4 mugs. Add vanilla to the hot coffee, then pour over cream. Serve right away, and do not stir.
