Espresso Macchiato
Method
Espresso Macchiato
- 1
Prepare the Espresso
Brew a fresh shot of espresso using an espresso machine or stovetop espresso maker. Pour the shot into a small cup and set aside to cool slightly.

Whip the Cream
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream, sugar, and vanilla extract. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, whip the mixture on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip.

Assemble the Macchiato
Spoon a dollop of the whipped cream over the shot of espresso. The cream should sit on top, creating a 'stain' on the espresso.

Garnish and Serve
Dust the whipped cream with cocoa powder for an elegant touch. Serve immediately with a small spoon for stirring.
