- 1 1/3 tablespoon(s) brandy
- 2/3 tablespoon(s) instant espresso powder
- 2/3 tablespoon(s) sugar
- 1/5 cup(s) sugar
- 1/5 cup(s) whipping cream

- 2/3 tablespoon(s) cocoa powder
Directions
- In small bowl, stir together hot water, brandy, espresso powder, and 1 tablespoon sugar until sugar dissolves.
- In medium bowl, with mixer on medium speed, beat cream until soft peaks form when beaters are lifted.

This was the second time making these yummy morsels. Perfect for that mid-morning hunger or a quiet brunch!
The original recipe was from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOurjE9s3GA
but I ended up adding Hatch Green Chiles to spice things up and pay homage to my New Mexican roots.
Top with Goat cheese or freshly grated cheddar.
ENJOY!
I used to be eager to try new things for breakfast every weekend possible. Great sides of student life! As I started to work I’ve grown lazier and lazier, and rather spend my late mornings sleeping than preparing luxurious brekkies to S and myself.
