Kahlua and Cream Recipe

"Kahlua, Amaretto, and Cream"




kahlua and cream recipe
This kahlua and cream recipe hits the Italian drinks chart because it has a super addition - amaretto. We use amaretto in tons of our Italian cakes like tiramisu. And if by chance you want to make a killer tiramisu, I have the best tiramisu recipe in the history of ever. You can make tiramisu better than Olive Garden on your first try.

Ok, back to the drink. This has a hit of amaretto. Amaretto taste a bit like sweet almonds. Which makes this drink - super sweet. I only drink it AFTER dinner. It's a dessert in a cup!

You can take creative liberties with this recipe and a couple of suggestions are listed below. Don't think twice about having a bottle of amaretto around. There are many Italian dessert recipes that use it! It won't sit around long.




Kahlua and Cream Recipe

YIELD: 1 Serving

Ingredients:

* 2/3 oz. kahlua

* 2/3 oz. cream

* 2/3 oz amaretto

Procedure

* Pour the kahlua and amaretto into serving glass.

* Pour the cream over a bar spoon so that it floats. Hmmmm. ( I don't always get it.)

* So, if that doesn't work, pour it over the rocks!

* And if you don't like either of those suggestions, then just pour it in a chilled glass after you have stirred it in ice.






What can I swap out for the cream?

If you have half & half that's OK. It's not first choice. Kinda like a B-Grade movie. It's bearable but you may only want to do it once.

What can I swap out for the kahlua?

Well conviently I have espresso vodka from making my espresso martini recipe. If you happen to have that - it's a go!

lisa gianotti I love sugar and I eat dessert EVERYDAY! Ok, not MASSIVE amounts. But I do have to finish off the evening meal with a little sweet something.

When I was a kid my health conscience mother would ration my Halloween candy. Her mantra was, "white sugar will kill you". But my Italian grandma always told me, "Everybody needs a little bit of sugar." :-) So, to get my October Halloween sugar fix I will make the traditional Italian cookie recipe, Venetian Bones of the Dead. Italians make these for the Day of the Dead on November 2nd. So - hey, our holiday in America - Halloween is the closest.

So - while the neighborhood is slamming down a bunch of gross mass produced candy on October 31st, I'll have a real goodie. Oh yeah, I'll have to post it too! (Eventually!) You know how it is. Work. Kids. Clean. Cook.



I'll see if Bones Of The Dead is in my grandma's first recipe file she started when she married in 1932. Most of the recipes on my site came from her influence. If they aren't in her file - then I got them from her friends. And the remainder I experimented with adapting her style.

I hope she looks down and smiles this Halloween.

Lisa
