Everything Nice (Spiced-Rum Coffee With Butterscotch Whipped Cream)

Ingredients

For 1 servings

• •3 /4 cup (175ml) heavy cream
• •1 1/2 tablespoons (10g) malted milk powder, such as Carnation
• •1 1/2 tablespoons (15g) dark brown sugar
• •Tiny pinch kosher salt
• •6 ounces (175ml) hot black coffee
• •2 ounces (60ml) spiced rum
• •1 c. à soupe (15ml) 2:1 simple syrup (see note)
• •Freshly grated nutmeg, for garnish (optional)

Method

1. 1.Combine heavy cream, malted milk powder, brown sugar, and salt in a mixing bowl or bowl of a stand mixer. Beat, using the whisk attachment, electric beaters, or a whisk, until dry ingredients are evenly incorporated and cream forms soft peaks.
2. 2.Combine hot coffee, spiced rum, and simple syrup in a prewarmed mug. (You can prewarm it by pouring hot water into it, letting it stand for 1 minute, then draining.) Using a spoon, dollop whipped cream on top of coffee and top with freshly grated nutmeg, if using. Serve right away. (You may have more whipped cream than the mug can accommodate; feel free to add more as you drink, or use some for the next round.)
