If you’ve seen this pretty foamy cup of caffeine yumminess online, you want to try this too! It really is a site to see and a lot easier to make than it looks like. You can serve as is or add flavoring into the mix as well for an added punch.

Ingredient Notes

1. Instant coffee like Folgers is great, you can even use a decaffeinated version if you’d like
2. Sugar, white granulated or a sugar-free version will add sweetness to this drink
3. Milk 2% or whole is best. You can use almond milk for a dairy free and lactose free drink, or add flavor with our homemade coffee creamer

Mini ice cubes are really fun when serving these. I also like using mason jars with or without handles so you can see all the layers and the whippedness. 😉

What is Whipped Coffee?

This trendy beverage is just made by whipping equal parts of instant coffee, granulated sugar and hot water until it becomes super creamy!! Then you add cold or hot milk with ice cubes. Occasionally it is topped with more sprinkles of instant coffee, cocoa, whipped cream, crushed biscuits, or even crumbled honeycomb. It goes by another name too, Dalgona with 3 ingredients everyone wants to try.

I don’t know about you but once my youngest daughter arrived, I needed caffeine in the morning! Now that my girls are older I just enjoy it as a mid afternoon treat and love to make my favorites at home.

How to Make Whipped Coffee with Instant Coffee

1. First you’re going to put your instant coffee, granulated sugar and water into a large bowl

   • Use any type of vessel you like but these are fun and a good size to fit all the yum.
3. Once it forms peaks you’ve got it just right and can turn your mixer off.
4. Fill your cups or jars halfway full with ice cubes (I like the cute tiny ones)
5. Pour in 3/4 cup of your milk into each one.
6. Then spoon your whipped coffee mixture over the top of that.

Toppings
