20 regular-size marshmallows or 3 cups miniature marshmallows
¼ cup Irish whiskey
1 cup heavy cream
⅓ cup confectioners’ sugar (optional)
Instructions
In a small saucepan, heat coffee over medium heat. Without removing saucepan from heat, stir in marshmallows, a few at a time. (It might seem that they are going to bob about, remaining whole forever, but they eventually melt completely into the coffee.) Remove saucepan from heat and let cool slightly.
Whisk in whiskey. (If you want to make sure the alcohol in the whiskey evaporates, add it as soon as you remove the saucepan from the heat.) Let mixture cool until you can comfortably touch the outside of the saucepan.
In a medium bowl, whisk cream to soft peaks. If a sweeter dessert is desired, whisk in confectioners’ sugar. Whisk in coffee mixture until well combined.
Ladle mixture into six small dessert dishes—old-fashioned stemmed dessert cups made from clear glass are ideal—and chill for six to eight hours.
