Whipped Coffee Recipe

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons instant coffee
• 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 3 tablespoons hot water
• 1 1/4 cups whole milk
• 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps to Make It

1. Gather the ingredients.
2. Add the instant coffee, sugar and hot or boiling water to large liquid measuring cup. Whip with an electric hand mixer or immersion blender for about 5 to 7 minutes or until the mixture is completely fluffy and has lightened in color. We used one beater on the hand mixer so it would fit into the measuring cup well. Whisk in the vanilla at the end if you are adding.
3. Divide the milk amongst two glasses and top with ice.
4. Split the whipped coffee over the top of each glass and serve immediately.

Recipe Tips

• We found that you can’t make this recipe with already brewed coffee. It just won’t whip right. You can however use the decaf instant coffee or instant espresso.
• You can whip the coffee with a hand mixer like we used or a frother, stand mixer, or an immersion blender. You can whisk by hand, but it does take a lot longer.
• You need to make sure you use hot or boiling water, cold water won’t produce the same results.
• You can make this without sugar, but it won’t stay as frothy for as long. It will lose its whipped texture much quicker.
• You can use different types of sugars like brown sugar or raw sugar.
• Some brands of instant coffee work better than others and will produce a stiffer whip.
• If you don’t feel like holding your hand mixer for five minutes, double this recipe and pop it in the bowl of your stand mixer. Turn it on and let it whip while you get ready for your day. You can store the extra whip in the fridge for the next day. It will hold much of its shape and texture for 24 hours.

Recipe Variations

• Try adding different flavors like vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, or a drizzle of caramel sauce over the top.
• Serve hot by heating up your milk of choice and topping it with the whipped coffee.
