Caffe Francais

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.
