I’ve recently fallen in love with the perfect whipped coffee recipe and I just have to share all my tips and tricks. I always start with 2 tbsp of a high quality instant coffee powder mixed with 2 tbsp white granulated sugar and 2 tbsp boiling water.

It sounds simple, but trust me, those ingredients really create a canvas for an impressively fluffy blend that totally transforms your coffee experience. Once it’s whipped to perfection, I pour over 1 cup of milk – whether that’s whole, almond or soy, depends on your mood really.

Sometimes I throw in a few ice cubes, especially on hot days when I need a refreshing twist on this whipped instant coffee treat. I found that crafting this whipped coffee is one of the easiest coffee recipes ever, bringing a new twist to your milkshakes and simple three ingredient recipes that makes every cup feel like a small adventure.

Why I Like this Recipe

I’ve been really into this recipe lately for a few reasons. First off, I love that it makes my coffee feel extra creamy and rich. When I whip up these thick, fluffy peaks, it kinda feels like I’m making a fancy drink at home. Plus, the process is super fun – it’s like a mini experiment where I get to mix up the coffee, sugar, and boiling water until it transforms. I also enjoy that I can switch it up easily by using either hot or chilled milk, and if I want an iced version, all I gotta do is add some ice cubes. Lastly, the look of the final drink is pretty cool, with layers that make it almost too pretty to not snap a pic before I dig in.

Have you ever wondered how to make the best Whipped Coffee (also called dalgona coffee)? I’ve got all the tips, tricks and hacks to help you get that perfect, fluffy texture. Just grab all your ingredients: 2 tbsp of good quality instant coffee powder, 2 tbsp white granulated sugar, 2 tbsp of freshly boiled water, a cup of milk (it can be whole, almond or soy, whichever you prefer), and some ice cubes if you want it iced. Start by putting the coffee, sugar and boiling water in a bowl, then start whisking them either with a hand mixer or a regular whisk. Keep beating for about 3 to 5 minutes until you see those thick, fluffy peaks forming.

While you’re whipping up the coffee, heat your milk if you like your coffee warm or get it chilled if you prefer it cold. If you’re going for an iced coffee, fill a glass with some ice cubes first. Then pour the milk into your glass and gently spoon the whipped coffee on top. You can mix it all together or keep that nice layered look for a bit before you stir it in. Give it a little taste, and if it needs more sweetness, feel free to add a bit more sugar. Enjoy your awesome, creamy whipped coffee right away.

FAQ

Q: Do I need to use boiling water?

A: Yeah, using boiling water helps the coffee and sugar mix up real good and gives that nice foamy texture.

Q: What if my coffee doesn't froth up?

A: If it doesn't turn fluffy about 3-5 minutes with whipping, try using a higher quality instant coffee or give it a little extra beatin'.

Q: Can I use any type of milk?

A: Sure, you can use whole, almond, soy, or whatever you like. Each one gives a slightly diffrent taste but they all work fine.

Q: Can I store leftover whipped coffee?

A: To be honest, it's best enjoyed right away since the froth can lose its texture over time if you store it.

Q: How do I make it iced coffee?

A: Just add a few ice cubes when you serve it alongside the whipped coffee on top of your chosen milk.

How To Make Whipped Coffee Recipe Substitutions and Variations

If you don’t have white granulated sugar, you can use brown sugar or even coconut sugar. It’ll give your coffee a slightly different taste but still works fine
If boiling water is an issue, you can use really hot water straight from the tap (as long as it’s close to boiling) but know that your coffee might not whip as well
If milk is not your cup of tea, try almond or oat milk instead. They work great and add a unique flavor to your whipped coffee
If you’re out of ice cubes, you can freeze a bit of milk in an ice cube tray and use that instead. It cools your coffee and doesn’t dilute the flavor as much

Pro Tips

1. Don’t rush the whipping process – if you feel like your coffee mix isn’t fluffy enough after 3 minutes, just keep beating it a bit longer. Sometimes different mixers work at different speeds so it might need more time than the recipe says.
2. When heating your milk, be careful not to boil it. Too hot and it can ruin the taste. Warm, not scalding, is the way to go if you want that perfect blend.
3. Taste your mix before serving. If you like it sweeter or a bit stronger, don’t be afraid to add a little extra sugar or even play around with a dash of cinnamon for added flavor.
4. For an extra cool twist to your iced version, let the whipped coffee rest in your freezer for a few minutes to chill a bit more before placing it on the milk.
