Einspanner Coffee

Description

Yes, a strong brewed coffee can be used to make an Einspanner coffee if you don’t have access to an espresso maker. Brew an extra-strong cup of joe using a drip coffee maker or pour-over coffee maker, or invest in an affordable Moka pot. It’s one of our favorite ways to make espresso-style coffee on the stovetop.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 ounces brewed espresso (2 shots)
  • cocoa powder, for garnish, optional

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, beat heavy cream, confectioners' sugar and vanilla extract on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a star tip; chill until ready to use.
  2. Pour espresso into a mug. Carefully pipe the whipped cream on top. Be generous; a traditional Einspanner coffee has a 1:1 ratio of cream to espresso. Dust lightly with cocoa powder, if desired. Serve immediately.
