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!
