This Irish cream coffee is a cosy, café-style treat. It is made with just instant coffee, brown sugar and a little fresh cream on top. The cream sits in a soft layer over the rich coffee. It is perfect for a slow morning or after dinner.

Why you'll love this recipe:

Rich, creamy and comforting
Just three simple things
Ready in minutes, no machine needed
Easy to dress up with cocoa or cinnamon

What you get in every cup

I will be honest — this one is a treat, and that is the whole idea. Each cup is around 106 calories, which is nice and small for something this rich and creamy, because most of it is just a little float of cream and not a heavy pour. I make it on slow weekend mornings or after dinner when I want something warm in my hands. The small size keeps it feeling like a simple, happy treat.

How I make it nicely

The trick for that pretty layer is the temperature. Mix the coffee and brown sugar fully in hot water, then let the coffee cool for one minute before adding cream — pour it slowly over the back of a spoon and it floats into a soft layer instead of mixing in. Do not skip that one minute, or the cream can split.

Make it your own

Add more or less brown sugar as you like, and try different instant coffee flavours. A little cocoa, cinnamon or nutmeg on top makes it feel like a café cup. For a lighter version, use cold milk or milk foam in place of cream, and it is just as nice served over ice in summer.
