- 1 tbsp instant coffee granules
- ¼ cup (50 g / 1.8 oz) powdered sugar
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- shaved chocolate

- cocoa powder
Instructions
- Coffee Infusion: Dissolve coffee granules in boiling water, blending with granulated sugar and vanilla extract until a harmonious mixture forms.
- Cream Preparation: Whip heavy cream in a chilled bowl, gently incorporating powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft, airy peaks develop.

Notes
- Control Coffee Intensity: Adjust coffee granules to match personal taste preferences, ensuring a balanced flavor without overwhelming bitterness.
- Whip Cream Carefully: Stop whipping precisely when soft peaks form to prevent butter-like transformation and maintain a light, airy texture.
- Chill for Optimal Texture: Refrigerate at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to harmonize and develop a luxurious, smooth consistency.
- Customize Dietary Needs: Swap heavy cream with coconut cream for a vegan version, or use sugar alternatives for low-carb diets without compromising the dessert’s creamy elegance.
