This was great, KateL. The cinnamon-infused whipped cream was positively divine, and I really enjoyed it floating at the top of this coffee drink and sweetening the coffee as it melted. There was only the two of us this morning, so I halved the recipe and we had plenty to leisurely enjoy this morning. This would be perfect for Christmas morning when we like something special that doesn't take too long to prepare. Made for Please Review My Recipe tag game. Yum!

What a lovely coffee Kate. I enjoyed this treat very much. I really like the combination of brandy, orange and whipped cream. Thanks so much for sharing your recipe. Made for NA/ME Feb/Fun in the Sun 2013.

Outstanding! I backed the brandy off to 2 tablespoons in a serving and that was wonderful for me. This coffee has amazing flavors that are smooth and easy and the flavored cream is pure heaven. If your looking for something special for a dinner party or for two you have just found it!
