Prepare the Cream
In a separate bowl, gently whip the heavy cream until it thickens slightly but is still pourable. You can add a bit of sugar to taste if desired.

Top the Coffee
Carefully pour the whipped cream over the back of a spoon onto the coffee to create a layered effect. This will allow the cream to float on top without mixing.
