How to Make TikTok Viral Whipped Coffee
✱ Be sure to see the recipe card below for exact ingredients and full recipe instructions!
- Make Sweetened Coffee: Start by grabbing your favorite iced coffee glass. In a medium bowl, mix the instant coffee powder and sugar. Then, carefully add hot water and stir until the coffee is dissolved.
- Whip Coffee: Next, use an electric hand mixer with the whisk attachment to whip the coffee until it’s doubled in size and frothy. This should take about 3-4 minutes or until stiff peaks form.
- Add ice and milk: Now, add ice cubes and your choice of milk to the coffee cup.
- Top, mix, and serve! Last but not least, top the milk with your frothy coffee mixture. Serve it as is for a picture-perfect coffee, or gently spoon the whipped topping into the milk– Then, sip and be amazed!
Tips
- Electric Mixer– You can use an electric mixer or spend a few minutes hand-whisking the whipped coffee ingredients. Commonly seen on TikTok, using a milk frother or immersion blender will also do the trick! Use a stand mixer if you’re making multiple servings for a crowd.
- Mix Well– Whether you serve it just topped or mixed, you want to stir the whipped coffee into the cold milk before your first sip for the best experience.
Recipe FAQs
What makes dalgona coffee whip?
Sugar gives the whipped coffee structure that holds shape. So, when you use sweetener alternatives or liquid sweeteners, the whipped coffee may not be as fluffy as expected. Similarly, if you reduce the sugar measurement, you won’t get the best results.
Why is my dalgona not fluffy?
If your whipped coffee isn’t fluffy, you must continue mixing it. It takes about three to five minutes to froth correctly, and sometimes it takes a few minutes longer. Otherwise, you may not have the right amount of sugar.
Can I make whipped coffee without sugar?
Yes, it is possible to make this recipe without sugar. However, it will only hold its fluffy structure for a short time. On the other hand, using sugar gives you a fluffy texture that stays!
Storage
Storage: Store Whipped Dalgona Coffee in an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for up to a week! The frothy goodness will only last a few hours, though, before beginning to deflate. When ready to serve up another cup, just mix and pour.
What to Serve with this Whipped Coffee Recipe
Have the perfect start to the day with your creamy coffee and Banana Nut Muffins, No-Bake Strawberry Cheesecake Parfait, or classic Chocolate Chip Pancakes– Yum!
