Instructions

Step 1: Whip the Coffee Mixture

2. Use a hand mixer or whisk to whip the mixture until it becomes light, fluffy, and forms stiff peaks (about 2–4 minutes).

Step 2: Assemble the Drink

1. Add milk to a glass. Use hot milk for a warm drink or cold milk with ice for an iced version.
2. Spoon the whipped coffee mixture on top of the milk.

Step 3: Serve and Enjoy

2. Add toppings like cocoa powder, cinnamon, or chocolate shavings for extra flair.

How to Serve Whipped Coffee

• Pair it with a light snack like cookies or a pastry for a complete café experience.

How to Store Whipped Coffee

• Store the whipped coffee mixture in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Re-whip lightly if it deflates.

Tips to Make the Best Whipped Coffee

• Use plant-based milk like almond or oat milk for a dairy-free version.

Variations of Whipped Coffee

• Mocha Dalgona Coffee: Add 1 tsp cocoa powder to the coffee mixture before whipping.

FAQs About Whipped Coffee

Can I make whipped coffee without sugar?
Yes, but the sugar helps stabilize the whip. The texture may be less fluffy.

Why isn’t my coffee whipping?
Make sure to use instant coffee and whip long enough for the mixture to thicken.
