A luxurious blend of rich espresso topped with a cloud of whipped cream
Welcome to the world of Espresso Con Panna, a classic Italian coffee treat that's both simple and indulgent. This recipe pays homage to the Starbucks version, bringing the cafe experience right to your kitchen.
Our copycat recipe uses freshly brewed espresso as the base. We recommend using a dark roast coffee bean, ground fine for espresso. The espresso is then topped with a generous dollop of lightly sweetened whipped cream, creating a perfect balance of bitter and sweet. The key to this recipe is in the quality of both the espresso and the cream, so don't skimp on either!
