Tips & Variations

• You can adjust the whiskey amount to your taste or substitute with bourbon for a different twist.
• Make the whipped cream ahead of time and keep it chilled for best texture.
• Use a high-quality strong coffee or espresso for the best coffee flavor.

Storage

Prepare the coffee and cream ice cubes in advance and keep them frozen for up to one month. The whipped cream topping is best fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 1 day. The blended drink is best served immediately and is not suitable for storing once mixed.

FAQs

Can I use regular cream instead of sweetened cream?

What if I don’t have ice cube molds?

You can use any small freezer-safe container or plastic trays to freeze the coffee and cream in small portions.

• Melt chocolate gently to prevent burning, using a double boiler or microwave in short bursts.
• The sweetened cream can be heavy cream mixed with sugar or store-bought sweetened cream.
• This recipe serves two but can be easily doubled for more servings.
• To make it less boozy, reduce the whiskey slightly.
