Espresso con Panna
A double espresso under a spoon of lightly whipped cream. Vienna's answer to milk drinks: no steaming, no texturing, just cold cream on hot coffee.

Espresso con Panna preparation
- Whisk 30ml of cold double cream in a chilled bowl to soft peaks - it should hold a shape but still slump.
- Pull a double espresso (36g) into a 90ml cup or small tulip glass.
- Spoon the cream on in one mound and do not stir.
- Dust with cocoa or shaved chocolate if you like, and take the cream with the coffee.
Cold cream on hot espresso is the entire idea - the temperature contrast does the work. Leave the cream unsweetened and it stays a coffee rather than a dessert.
