It's the best way to round off a meal: a filter coffee fortified with Irish whiskey and a layer of Baileys cream.
Ingredients
- 142ml carton double cream
- Seeds of 1 vanilla pod
- 2 tbsp Baileys Irish Cream
- Freshly made-up coffee
- 4 measures Irish whiskey
- 4 tsp dark muscovado sugar
Method
- 1. Whip the cream with the sugar, vanilla seeds and Baileys, until thick but not stiff.
- 2. Put a metal teaspoon into each serving glass and fill with boiling water. Leave for a few minutes to warm the glasses. Make up the fresh coffee.
- 3. Pour away the water and add a measure of Irish whiskey and 1 teaspoon dark muscovado sugar to each glass. Fill just over three-quarters full with the coffee and stir. Spoon the cream over the back of another spoon straight onto the hot coffee to give a thick layer.
