pasquini espresso con panna

i’m sure this horrifies some espresso enthusiasts, but a little whipped cream with an espresso is a legitimate drink.

And unlike at Starbucks, it does not mean 1 shot of espresso + 8 oz of milk (minimum) and then 2-3 oz of whipped cream. The only espresso drink with whipped cream is espresso in a demi-tasse cup with a small dollop of whipped cream: an espresso con panna.

Ok, I cheaped out and used whip cream from a can, but it’s a lot of work to make fresh whipped cream for a 1.5 oz drink!
