Summer in Italy, years ago, changed my coffee game forever. I'd always been a latte kinda person, you know? But the sweltering heat? It demanded something different. I stumbled upon this little cafe, tucked away in a side street in Rome and they introduced me to the Iced Espresso Con Panna. Talk about love at first sip! It's just chef's kiss. That espresso kick followed by the sweet, creamy coolness? So refreshing and luxurious, without being overly complicated, you know? A welcome change, for sure.
Making it at home is super easy, once you get the hang of it. All you need is decent espresso (I use a Nespresso machine now, convenient, right? Though I do miss the real deal!). Fresh, cold, heavy cream is crucial for the whipped cream topping. Seriously, don't skimp on the cream! You want that lovely, thick cloud of goodness. A lil sugar, maybe some vanilla, and you're set for the best part.

It’s a great alternative to overly sweet iced coffee drinks that are full of artificial flavors. And honestly? Once you've tried the homemade version, you'll never go back to Starbucks. Ok maybe I'm exaggerating. A little. But still, the freshness and simplicity of Iced Espresso Con Panna make it a winner in my book. Plus, you can totally customize it to your liking – add caramel drizzle, chocolate shavings, a sprinkle of cinnamon...go wild!

🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Brew your espresso: Prepare a double shot (about 2 ounces) of espresso using your preferred method, whether it's an espresso machine, a Moka pot, or an AeroPress. I'm using my Nespresso cause it is so convenient!
- Chill the espresso: Allow the espresso to cool slightly, or chill it quickly by pouring it over a few ice cubes in a shaker. Do make sure you don't leave the ice in there or it can get watery.
- Prepare the glass: Fill a glass with ice cubes. Leave enough room at the top for the espresso and whipped cream.
- Pour espresso over ice: Gently pour the cooled or chilled espresso over the ice in the glass.
- Make the whipped cream: In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract (if using). Use a whisk or an electric mixer to whip the cream until it forms stiff peaks. Be careful not to overwhip; you want it to be thick and creamy, not grainy.
- Top with whipped cream: Spoon a generous dollop of whipped cream over the espresso. Let it sit for a moment so that the cream starts to melt slightly into the espresso.
- Garnish (optional): If desired, garnish with a dusting of cocoa powder, chocolate shavings, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
- Serve immediately: Enjoy your Iced Espresso Con Panna right away. The contrast of the cold espresso and the sweet, creamy whipped cream is truly delightful!
📝 Notes
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less powdered sugar to the whipped cream.
- For a dairy-free option, use coconut whipped cream.
- Add a sprinkle of cocoa powder or cinnamon for extra flavor.
