Ingredients
Scale
Irish Whipped Cream
- 2/3 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup Irish cream (such as Baileys)
Cocktail
- 4 oz Irish cream (such as Baileys)
- 4 oz hazelnut liqueur (like Frangelico)
- 4 oz Kahlua
- 4 oz espresso coffee
Garnish
- 1 tablespoon crushed hazelnuts
- 1 tablespoon graham cracker crumbs
- Chocolate sauce, for drizzling
Instructions
- Prepare Irish Whipped Cream: In a chilled medium bowl, add the cold heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar. Using a hand mixer, start whisking at low-medium speed, then increase to high speed and whip until stiff peaks form. Slowly add 1/4 cup Irish cream and beat just until combined. Transfer the whipped cream into a piping bag and chill in the refrigerator until ready to use.
- Mix the Cocktail: In a shaker, combine 4 oz Irish cream, 4 oz hazelnut liqueur, 4 oz Kahlua, and 4 oz espresso coffee. Fill the shaker with ice, then shake vigorously until the outside of the shaker feels frosty and well chilled.
- Serve: Strain the chilled cocktail evenly into 2 glasses. Pipe the prepared Irish whipped cream generously on top of each drink. Garnish with crushed hazelnuts, graham cracker crumbs, and drizzle with chocolate sauce. Serve immediately and enjoy your indulgent Nutty Irishman cocktail.
Notes
- Use freshly brewed espresso for the best coffee flavor.
- Chilling the bowl and mixer attachments helps the cream whip faster and better.
- For a non-alcoholic version, substitute Irish cream and liqueurs with coffee syrups or flavored creamers.
- Graham cracker crumbs can be replaced with crushed cookies or nuts if desired.
- Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of powdered sugar or chocolate sauce drizzle.
