Sometimes, simple is better; but other times, souping up simple is even better. Take this espresso whipped cream recipe, for example: With the minor addition of finely ground coffee to a fairly standard whipped cream recipe, you produce something that is altogether more sophisticated and refined. This delectable topping could proudly accent a gourmet coffee brew or molten chocolate cake; heck, it could even stand on its own, chilled in a decorative serving glass. And if you don't have Brandi's rockin' biceps to work it out with a standard whisk, you can whip it up using an electronic mixer when you're not even in the room! What could be more simple? Watch her show us how it's done in this fun recipe how-to video.
