Make the coffee whipped cream. Combine 1½ cups (355ml) heavy cream, ¼ cup (50g) confectioner's sugar, and 1 heaping tsp instant espresso powder in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with whisk attachment. Whip until stiff peaks form, about 3-4 minutes, and the espresso granules are completely dissolved. Use immediately.
- Storage: Refrigerate for up to 2 days; best used immediately, as it will deflate and separate over time. I do not recommend freezing.
- Espresso note: Do not substitute brewed coffee or coffee grounds for instant espresso—they won’t dissolve.
