Equipment

cocktail Shaker

Ingredients

0.5 ounce Simple syrup (I used Torani's salted caramel)
2.0 ounces Creme de cacao (or any coffee flavored liqueur)
1.0 Ounce Vodka (I used whipped vodka. Any dessert vodka is fine)
1.0 Ounce Chilled heavy cream (Frothed cream works best)
Shaved chocolate or dark cacao powder to garnish.

Instructions

Method A without frothed cream

Pour the first three ingredients in a martini or cocktail glass in the order listed above.
Gently pour the heavy cream over the back of a spoon in a layer so that it floats atop other layers.
Garnish with shaved chocolate or dust with cacao powder. Enjoy responsibly!

Method B with Frothed Cream

Pour chilled cream into a cup with spouts, Immerse the frothing wand in the cream and turn it on. Whisk, creating a gentle swirl of cream, or until frothed to your desired consistency. Don't froth for long, you need the cream to still be slightly thick, yet liquidy.
Fill a shaker with Ice cubes. Add all ingredients except for the cream.
Shake and strain into a cocktail glass. Top with frothed cream. Garnish with shaved chocolate or cocoa powder.

Notes

How to Froth cream at home

Using a shaker: Place the chilled cream in an airtight jar and shake vigorously for about 3 mins or until you reach the desired consistency. To cut downtime, place a shaker ball in the jar and shake for a minute.

Using a blender: Pour the cream into a blender, cover, and blend on high speed until slightly thick.

Using an immersion blender: Use the same process as steps 2.
Using a hand whisk. Pour the cream into a bowl and whisk until thick.
