Can we all just appreciate the trends that are coming out of quarantine life? Tik-Tok videos, bread baking, hoarding toilet paper and Lysol wipes, and my favorite…. Whipped Coffee.
This whipped coffee, also known as Dalgona Coffee, is what I like to call the Starbuck’s Cold Foam Cold Brew upside down. Instead of whipping up a foam, commonly made from dairy products, you whip the coffee and put the dairy on the bottom. I used half and half, but you can put anything your heart desires on the bottom.
How to Make Whipped Coffee
Preparing the whipped coffee is simple. You will pour the contents of a pack of instant coffee, along with a tablespoon or two of sugar, and hot water into a cup or bowl. I stirred it around pretty good to make sure the instant coffee was dissolved (if there are a few granules left don’t fret). Next, I poured it into the bowl of my KitchenAid stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and a couple minutes later I had whipped coffee. If you don’t have a stand mixer, no problem. A handheld mixer works just the same.
I prepared two cups ahead of time with ice and half and half on the bottom. When my whipped coffee was finished I spooned it right over my half and half and gave it a try.
How Does Whipped Coffee Taste?
I am not a black coffee kind of gal. At first taste, I kind of hated the whipped coffee. However, once I got a sip that was equal amount whipped coffee to cream I started to understand the trend. It was delicious! I wouldn’t whip up the concoction in the morning, however whipped coffee would be a perfect afternoon treat or compliment to a dessert.
Overall, I would totally make it again and will probably make more this afternoon!
