Instructions
Prepare the Espresso:
- Start by pulling a single shot of espresso using an espresso machine or a moka pot.
- The espresso shot should be strong and concentrated, forming the base of your Spanish coffee.
Heat the Sweetened Condensed Milk:
- In a microwave-safe bowl or on a stovetop, gently heat 2 tablespoons of sweetened condensed milk until it's warm and slightly runny.
- This will make it easier to mix with the espresso.
Combine Espresso and Condensed Milk:
- Pour the shot of espresso into your serving cup.
- Gradually pour the warmed sweetened condensed milk into the espresso, stirring gently as you pour to ensure even mixing.
- The condensed milk will add a velvety sweetness and a creamy texture to the coffee.
Whip the Cream:
- Use a whisk to whip the cream until it forms soft peaks.
- The whipped cream will provide a luscious topping for your Spanish coffee.
Top with Whipped Cream:
- Generously spoon the whipped cream over the espresso and milk mixture in the cup.
- The whipped cream serves as a delightful contrast to the rich flavors of the coffee.
