Combine Ingredients

Whip the Cream
In a separate bowl, lightly whip the heavy cream until it thickens slightly but still pourable. Do not overwhip; it should not turn into butter.

Carefully pour the whipped cream over the back of a spoon onto the coffee mixture, allowing it to float on top without mixing.

Garnish
Garnish with a couple of coffee beans on top of the cream for an elegant touch.
