Treat yourself to the ultimate coffee indulgence with this rich and creamy Irish Cream Coffee recipe. Made with freeze-dried instant coffee, brown sugar and heavy cream, it’s a decadent and comforting beverage that’s perfect for cozy mornings or as an after-dinner treat.
Ingredients:
– 2 tsp freeze-dried instant coffee powder (such as ‘Irish Cream Coffee’ by ‘The Dark Roast Company’)
– 1-2 tbsp brown sugar (adjust according to desired sweetness)
– hot water as required
– 2-3 tbsp heavy cream
– Cocoa powder, cinnamon, or grated nutmeg (optional garnish)
Instructions:
1. In a coffee mug or heat-resistant glass, combine the freeze-dried instant coffee powder and brown sugar. Stir to mix them well.
2. Slowly pour the hot water over the coffee and sugar mixture, stirring continuously until the sugar dissolves completely and the coffee is fully incorporated.
3. Allow the mixture to cool down slightly for about a minute. This step is crucial to prevent the heavy cream from curdling.
4. Using a spoon, gently pour the heavy cream over the coffee. The cream should glide smoothly and create a luscious, creamy layer on top.
5. If desired, garnish with a light dusting of cocoa powder, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or a grating of nutmeg for an extra touch of flavour and aroma.
6. Enjoy your indulgent Irish Cream Coffee while it’s hot and the cream is still velvety smooth!
Tips and Tricks:
– Adjust the amount of brown sugar according to your desired sweetness level. Start with 1 tbsp and add more if needed.
– Experiment with different flavours of freeze-dried instant coffee for a unique twist on this classic beverage.

– Serve this indulgent Irish Cream Coffee with a side of biscotti, scones, or other sweet treats for a complete coffee break experience.
