description Espresso Con Panna Overview
Espresso con panna is a coffee drink made by topping one or more shots of espresso with whipped cream. Its Italian name literally means "espresso with cream," although the cream used in modern cafes is generally whipped rather than liquid. The drink preserves the concentrated flavor and small serving size of espresso while adding sweetness, richness, and a contrasting cool, aerated texture.
