SPICED CHRISTMAS GINGERBREAD COFFEE WITH COGNAC CHANTILLY CREAM

Spiced Christmas Gingerbread Coffee With Cognac Chantilly Cream image

As soon as I discovered how to make ginger syrup, this gingerbread coffee was on the menu last Christmas! I tasted my first Gingerbread coffee, or actually, Gingerbread Latte, in a branch of Starbucks in Manchester, England in 2006 - and it was love at first taste! Mine is a little bit more grown up and indulgent, as I have included a spiced, cognac laced whipped chantilly cream topping! We will be having this for Christmas morning this year, and for many more mornings or evenings I suspect, as the mood takes us! Enjoy this coffee not just at Christmas time, but also throughout the colder months. This recipe is not for latte, but for a fresh filtered coffee and cream version - but I think it is just as delicious.

Time 25m

Yield 6 Tall Mugs, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

2 cups water
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 scoop fresh ground coffee, per person (in the coffee filter machine)
water
10 fluid ounces whipping cream
2 tablespoons cognac
2 tablespoons icing sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, plus extra to sprinkle
cinnamon stick, for stirrers

Steps:

Gingerbread Syrup.
Make the gingerbread syrup by combining water, sugar, ginger, cinnamon and vanilla in a medium saucepan. Be sure the pan is not too small or the mixture could easily bubble over.
Bring mixture to a boil then reduce heat and simmer the syrup, uncovered, for about 15 minutes. Remove the syrup from the heat when it's done - thickened, glossy and clear - and then cover it. This can now be stored in a bottle or jar in the fridge for about a month.
Gingerbread Coffee.
Make the fresh coffee in your coffee filter machine to personal taste - I have suggested 1/2 scoop of medium blend coffee per person for a tall mug of coffee.
Just before serving the gingerbread coffees, whip the cream with a hand held mixer until it just holds its shape - then add the cognac, cinnamon and icing sugar and whip until it is firm. If you have a cream siphon - decant the cream into the siphon for piping later.
When you are ready to serve the gingerbread coffees, pour some fresh coffee into each tall mug until about two thirds full; add a tablespoon of ginger syrup and stir the coffee - taste it and adjust the flavour by adding more syrup if needed. Then carefully spoon or pipe the cream on to the top of the coffee. Sprinkle with ground cinnamon and serve with a cinnamon stick as a stirrer!
If you have any cream left over - make another gingerbread coffee!

Tips:

Chill the dough: After making the gingerbread dough, wrap it in plastic wrap and chill it for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help the dough to be less sticky and easier to work with.
Use a gingerbread mold: If you have a gingerbread mold, use it to cut out the gingerbread men. This will make the process much easier and faster.
Bake the gingerbread men until they are golden brown: The gingerbread men should be baked until they are golden brown and firm to the touch. This will ensure that they are cooked all the way through.
Let the gingerbread men cool completely: Before decorating the gingerbread men, let them cool completely. This will help the frosting to set properly.
Use a variety of decorations: You can use a variety of decorations to decorate your gingerbread men, such as sprinkles, candy canes, and edible glitter. Get creative and have fun!

Conclusion:

Gingerbread men are a classic holiday treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be decorated in a variety of ways. With a little creativity, you can create beautiful and delicious gingerbread men that will be the hit of your holiday party.
