Caffè latte is classic Italian, and for a Sunday brunch it would be the obvious choice over a regular pot of coffee. And while vanilla whipped cream is a small departure from the way you would find it served in any Italian café, it’s a nice way to make the jolt of caffeine a little richer and more special.

Preparation
Step 1
Combine the milk, 1/2 cup of the heavy cream, the espresso, and Amaretto in a medium saucepan. Place over low heat and stir constantly until hot but not boiling, 3 to 5 minutes.
Step 2
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip the remaining 1/2 cup heavy cream until thick. Add the confectioners’ sugar and vanilla. Continue to beat until the cream holds soft peaks.
Step 3
To serve, pour the espresso mixture into four 8-ounce mugs. Add a dollop of vanilla whipped cream on top and serve immediately.
