Instructions

Put a mason jar in the freezer (this is for making the cream topping. If you'd rather use whipped cream, skip this step).
Make your coffee or espresso.
While the coffee is brewing, make a batch of hot chocolate. The thicker the better, since it helps the layers stay separate. Homemade is our favorite, but any hot chocolate will work.
Pour your hot chocolate into the bottom 1/3rd of your mug.
Pour your coffee over the back of a spoon into the mug, filling to 2/3rds full.
Put your heavy cream into the chilled mason jar and close.
Shake until the cream thickens slightly.
Pour cream over the back of a spoon, filling the mug completely.
Top with chocolate shavings.
