3. Step 3: Whip a small amount of the sweetened cream until soft peaks form and set it aside for topping later.

Tips & Variations

• For extra richness, use full-fat sweetened cream or add a splash of vanilla extract to the cream before freezing.
• You can substitute the bar chocolate with chocolate syrup if you prefer a smoother chocolate flavor.
• Adjust the whiskey amount to your taste for a stronger or milder drink.

Storage

Store any unused whipped cream in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The coffee and cream ice cubes can be kept in the freezer for up to 1 month. Prepare the drink fresh for best texture and flavor, as it loses its frosty consistency once thawed.

FAQs
