Whipped Baileys Coffee
A delightful beverage that blends the robust taste of coffee with the smooth, velvety notes of Baileys Irish Cream. Topped with whipped cream and optional Nutella, it’s a treat that feels like dessert in a glass.
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp instant coffee adjust for stronger or milder flavor
- 1 tbsp sugar granulated or powdered works
- 3–4 tbsp hot water just enough to dissolve the coffee and sugar
- 1 shot Baileys Irish Cream about 1.5 oz
- Ice cubes to taste
- Milk whole, 2%, or plant-based alternatives like almond or oat milk
- Whipped cream for topping
- Optional: Nutella or chocolate syrup for a decadent rim
Instructions
Prepare the whipped coffee base
- In a glass, combine instant coffee, sugar, and hot water. Use a whisk, hand mixer, or frother to whip the mixture until it becomes thick, creamy, and light in color. This should take about 2–3 minutes of vigorous whisking.
Optional Nutella rim
- If using Nutella, spread a thin layer around the inside of the glass before adding other ingredients. This creates a rich, chocolatey surprise with each sip.
Add Baileys
- Once the coffee mixture is whipped, pour one shot of Baileys into the glass. Stir gently to combine.
Add ice
- Fill the glass with ice cubes to your preferred level. More ice makes for a stronger, colder drink, while less ice keeps it creamier.
Pour in milk
- Slowly add milk, leaving some space at the top for whipped cream. Adjust the amount based on how creamy or coffee-forward you prefer your drink.
Top with whipped cream
- Add a generous dollop of whipped cream on top. For extra flair, drizzle with more Nutella or a sprinkle of cocoa powder.
Serve immediately
- Enjoy your Whipped Baileys Coffee fresh for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
For a non-alcoholic version, replace Baileys with a coffee-flavored creamer. Use a sugar substitute like stevia or monk fruit for a lower-calorie option. Dairy-free whipped cream works well for vegan variations.
