Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups strong brewed coffee
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons crème de menthe syrup (non-alcoholic or alcoholic)
- 2 tablespoons crème de cacao syrup (non-alcoholic or alcoholic)
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup whipped cream
- 1 tablespoon chocolate shavings
- 2 leaves mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Brew 1.5 cups of strong coffee and set it aside to keep warm.
In a small saucepan, combine the heavy cream and granulated sugar over low heat. Stir gently until the sugar dissolves and the cream is warm but not boiling, about 2-3 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the crème de menthe syrup and crème de cacao syrup.
Divide the brewed coffee evenly between two mugs.
Pour the flavored cream mixture over the coffee in each mug and stir gently to combine.
Top each mug with a generous dollop of whipped cream, a sprinkle of chocolate shavings, and (if desired) a fresh mint leaf for garnish.
Serve immediately and enjoy your indulgent Grasshopper Coffee!
