Espresso Con Panna
Recipe: Espresso Con Panna
Espresso Con Panna is simply espresso with whipped cream. Though the name is in Italian, believe it or not Italians hardly ever consume espresso with cream in the mornings. If they do, it probably is as a dessert. Espresso Con Panna is more common in Cafes and Coffee Shops in the US, UK, France, India, etc.
Both hubby and I are fans of coffee with double or single cream, and no not the one from the can but the actual one from the cartons that can go bad after a few days. The first time we had Espresso Con Panna was in India and we didn’t like it at all as the barista just went crazy with the canned cream. We could hardly taste the coffee !
So whenever, I would whip up some cream for a dessert, hubby and I would enjoy our own version of Espresso Con Panna. Undoubtedly with a good balance of double espresso and lightly sugared whipped cream.

For this weekend, Amy who blogs at Amy’s Cooking Adventures suggested the following,” Time to channel your inner barista! November 8 is National Cappuccino Day. Feel free to make any of your favorite coffee house coffees or maybe a homemade syrup or creamer!” While as such I don’t have a fixed recipe for one of my favourites, I actually had to measure the ingredients for this post.

Ingredients Required For Espresso Con Panna
Espresso
Freshly brewed single or double espresso. It should be hot.
Whipping Cream
Double or whipping cream. Whip it before you prepare the espresso. That way the coffee will not become cold. Remember when you add the espresso to the chilled cream, it will cool down.
Powdered Sugar
We like to add a bit of sugar. I prefer using powdered or confectioners’ sugar. Add according to your taste to the cream before whipping it. Can replace the sugar with maple syrup.
Cinnamon Powder
I love cinnamon powder with my coffee. I usually sprinkle some over the whipped cream before serving.
