Add 2 tablespoons sugar to the brewed coffee (to taste). Pour the brewed coffee into a cake pan. Let cool and then put it into the freezer. Scrape the mixture with a fork every half hour, breaking up the icy chunks of coffee into crystals. Do this for 3–4 hours until coffee is completely frozen and crystallized. This step can be done the day before and kept in the freezer until served.

With a mixer, whip the cream and the remaining sugar (to taste) to stiff peaks. Serve in glasses, layering alternate scoops of frozen coffee crystals with dollops of cream.
