Make the whipped cream: In a medium bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream with the powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Whisk until thick and creamy. (Makes enough for two; you can save the extra cream refrigerated for up to 2 days if you’re making only one drink.)
Make the espresso: Make the espresso using an espresso machine, manual espresso maker, French press, or Moka Pot. Go to How to Make Espresso for instructions.
Serve: Top each doubleshot of espresso with 2 tablespoons whipped cream and serve.
Notes
Or, substitute 1/4 cup purchased whipped cream for the whipping cream, sugar and vanilla.
