Starbucks Coffee Whipped Cream flavored w/Starbucks coffee! Extra panache for desserts, hot chocolate, iced coffee and frozen drinks. Fabulous on chocolate pie, cake and ice cream!
Do you love off-the-beaten-path restaurants and cafes like I do? Discovering a quaint new place just feels adventurous to me. One of my favorite places to lunch locally is Pickity Place in Mason, NH.
Pickity Place: “Since 1786 our quaint little red cottage has graced the hills of southern New Hampshire, seemingly untouched by time. The enchanting cottage was chosen by Elizabeth Orton Jones as the model for her illustrations in Little Red Riding Hood (Little Golden Books, 1948).
Today it is a mecca for gardeners, foodies and anyone looking for inspiration and relaxation. You will still find our hilltop hideaway at the end of the winding dirt road. Lighten your spirit as you step out of your world and into ours. Welcome to Pickity Place.”
Then there’s the beautiful English gardens and enormous ash trees on the property. Pickity Place holds a very special place in my heart and I hope you’ll get to visit one day.
So this past spring I visited the Black Forest Cafe in Amherst, NH for the first time. Lots of homemade sandwiches, breads and soups on the menu. And so many dessert cases! Jon and I were on a double lunch date with my brother and sister-in-law.
It was the first time we’d all gone out together since my brother got out of his wheel chair. A celebration of sorts. You may remember he had a terrible accident last fall, fell off a ladder, crushed a number of bones.
Had to have several reconstructive surgeries. So this was our big lunch out — and we splurged big time!
There’s something about those places with the dessert cases filled with the homemade pastries and cakes. You don’t sit in your seat to order dessert. You’re absolutely compelled to go up to that case. Check. It. All. Out. Make the agonizing decision.
And it’s pure torture when there are a million scrumptious looking desserts too. So my brother and I finally settled on sharing a large, “individual-sized” homemade chocolate cream pie….with Coffee Whipped Cream! (On the left above.)
Oh my word. So I’ve been thinking about that delicious pie and the creamy coffee whipped cream on top ever since. And that was months ago.
And then last week I was sitting and working at Starbucks, sipping on a chai tea latte grande, when it hit me. Starbucks Coffee Whipped Cream! That’s the ticket. This is where it’s at folks. The rich coffee flavor we love, infused into a creamy, dreamy whipped cream. And Starbucks instant coffee makes this recipe a breeze.
Cheers to the perfect summer topping for all our fave frozen summer drinks, pies, parfaits, puddings, cakes, ice cream, milk shakes and desserts!
So it’s end of the school year around here right now and seems we need a dessert every other day for all the sports and academic awards programs, graduation parties etc.
I whipped up this yummy parfait this afternoon in no time flat. Brownies, chocolate pudding and coffee whipped cream. The trifle bowl came home empty. Licked clean. Just sayin’.

Kristen says
Off the beaten path places are the best!!! And while I typically skip the whip on my coffee–I would never skip this!
Shashi @ RunninSrilankan says
Oh my goodness me! I’d lick the bowl clean and then try and eat the bowl too if it came with brownies, chocolate pudding and coffee whipped cream like this! This luscious whipped cream is such a simple recipe but, so simply decadent! It’s uses are endless – from straight-up to cookies, cakes, coffee cakes, coffee…ooh, Allie – what a gem of a recipe! And, I happen to adore little hole in the wall cafes and restaurants too – lady, one day, you and I need to meet at an off the beaten path, hole in the wall place – though sweet friend, am not sure I could share a slice of pie or cake with you if it came with THIS whipped topping – I’d want IT ALL to myself!
Happy Tuesday!
Jessica @ A Kitchen Addiction says
What a great idea! I wish I had some of this whipped cream to go on my coffee!
Carina says
That looks so yummy! I could use one right about now, actually. Yes, I also love places that are off the beaten path, unique. Finding a place like that, enjoying it, is one of those little experiences that adds lovely memories to life. Allie, it is wonderful that your brother is out of his wheelchair, truly something to celebrate. You have a good week, friend. Xoxo
Allie says
Thank you Carina, I know we would love visiting some off the beaten path places together. Maybe someday. You never know. Hope your week is wonderful!

I’m envisioning all the things this would be great on (including right off a spoon!). YUM!
Cynthia | What A Girl Eats says
I never knew there was coffee flavored whipped cream! I don’t like coffee (the beverage), but I like coffee flavored things, like anything mocha…so I’m sure I’d love this!
Kathy @ Beyond the Chicken Coop says
Oh wow! Coffee whipped cream!!! I think I need this right now!
Michelle | A Dish of Daily Life says
I need this recipe in my life!! I can think of some wonderful desserts that that would be amazing on! Oh and hot cocoa too…definitely pinning this one for later!
Robin @ Simply Southern Baking says
This whipped cream looks amazing! I visited Pickity Place years ago on a New England Craft Tour and loved that place!
Cheyanne @ No Spoon Necessary says
Oh yaaaaay! I’m so glad your brother is feeling better and getting up and about! A double lunch date out with plenty of dessert is a great way to celebrate! I’ve never been to the Pickity Place before, but then again I’ve never been in that area. I’ll be sure to put it on my list of To-Do should I ever get up that way! Love this whipped cream, Allie! Flavoring it with starbucks coffee is a great idea!! I could just eat this straight from the dang bowl! <3 But I bet it tastes even better on dessert. 😉 I hope you and the family have a beautiful weekend, sweet friend! Cheers! xoxo
Denise Q. says
This looks amazing and I can’t wait to make it! As we rename all of your recipes, this will be Allie’s coffee.
Allie says
Thank you Denise – honored! xo
Sheila Manica says
I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE THE BROWNIE–PUDDING–WHIPPED-CREAM RECIPE !! ANY CHANCE OF THAT ?? THANK YOU !! SHEILA M.S
Allie says
Hey Sheila, I’m actually going to put a recipe for Brick Street Chocolate Cake parfaits on the blog next week, but what I did here is so simple. I made one pan of box brownies, one recipe of boxed chocolate pudding, and I just alternated the layers with the coffee whipped cream in a trifle bowl. I also bought a bag of Nestle Crunch “bits” and sprinkled those in, just because it was the last day of school for the kids! Ha ha. Big splurge. 🙂 Hope you enjoy. I was up at school yesterday and several people mentioned this dessert (I had sent it in to a school event the day before) – it was a big hit for very little work. And it looks so pretty too!
Alexandra Caspero says
Sounds like a wonderful lunch! I love selecting a few desserts from beautiful cases, so much fun. This coffee whipped cream looks incredible. I make a mocha ice cream that is my favorite dessert in the summer, bet this would taste perfect in a sundae version!
Anu - My Ginger Garlic Kitchen says
Oh my gosh! I love whipped cream in general, but this one looks beyond yum that I so want to lick that cream with my fingers. Yea, it looks that good, Allie. Happy to hear that your brother is feeling better. A double lunch date out with so many desserts sound like the best way to celebrate! Looks incredibly delish, and I can’t wait to try it! Happy weekend my dear friend! 🙂 <3
