Happy Sunday, friends! I shared this video for Whipped Coffee on my Facebook page and since I’m getting so many questions about it – I made a blog post so I can answer all your questions! The recipe is below, along with all the ways you can make it! P.S. I’ve also made a whipped matcha!
YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED
What kind of sugar can you use to make whipped coffee?
You should use granulated sugar. You can use white sugar, brown sugar, raw sugar, coconut sugar.
Can I make whipped coffee without sugar?
Yes you can…BUT! I tested this and while it does fluff up in the same amount of time, it doesn’t stay fluffy as long as the sugar version. The sugar version stays fluffy for hours, this stays as fluffy for about 2 minutes, then begins to slowly dissolve for another 5 minutes until it’s liquid again. So keep that in mind for the unsweetened version.
Can you use monkfruit sweetener or sweetener replacements to make whipped coffee?
Yes you can! As long as they are granulated. P.S. – you can get 15% off next order of monkfruit sweetener if you use my code VEGANLOVE20.
I don’t have a hand mixer. How else can I make whipped coffee?
You can make whipped coffee using a stand mixer, a hand frother or hand whisk and by hand! Making it by hand took me about 8 minutes (others have reported this and up to 15 minutes). The key is to do back and forth/side-to-side whisking in a zig zag motion, instead of only in large circles. I would recommend using a whisk and not a spoon because it takes so long with a spoon and your arms will definitely be tired! You do want to ensure you’re doing it in a bowl and not a mug or a jar, so that enough air is whipped into it!
Can I use hot or cold milk?
You can use any one! I love cold coffee so I make an iced coffee with mine. But you can definitely make it hot – it works the same! So if you wanted it hot, you would heat up your milk, then stir it into the hot milk.
What is whipped coffee?!
Whipped coffee is a Tiktok name for this kind of coffee (also known as tiktok coffee). It’s actually called Dalgona Coffee (Korean coffee) and was coined by South Korean actor Jung Il-woo. I have learned since that it’s been around for years and is also known as Frappe Coffee (Greek), Beaten Coffee (Indian) and is known in several other cultures. I first saw it on Tiktok (@imhannahcho) a few days ago!!
How to make whipped coffee
Whipped coffee is made up of only 3 ingredients! To make whipped coffee, add 2 tablespoons of instant coffee, 2 tablespoons of sugar and 2 tablespoons of boiling water to a clean bowl. Using a hand mixer, you whisk/whip it together for about anywhere from 2 minutes to 5 minutes. Check out my IG highlights for lots of videos of me doing this! To keep your whipped coffee vegan, use any vegan milk (such as almond milk, soy milk, oat milk (learn how I make it), cashew milk or any other. After you’ve made the whipped part, pour some of your favourite vegan milk (1 cup of it) into a glass with some ice if you’re doing an iced coffee. Spoon/scoop the whipped coffee on top, then stir it into the milk to combine. I like to use my straw to stir it in. Enjoy! Whipped coffee can last for days in your fridge!
Which instant coffee do you use?!
I used Nescafé Classic (the double filter, full flavour one)! Yes, it works with decaf coffee too!! You do need to use instant coffee for it to work! I have seen that it doesn’t work with 3-in-1 mixes.
Can I make whipped matcha?
Yes! I did an entire post about how to make whipped matcha!
What else can I use this for/what should I have whipped coffee with?
So it makes this incredible drink, but you can use it in so many other ways! Here are some yummy ways to enjoy it:
Use it as a topping for brownies (like my brownies recipe). I saw a friend make pavlova out of it! Make vegan chocolate chip cookies and dip it into it – it tastes phenomenal! If you want to make this extra indulgent you can use my 3-ingredient caramel sauce with it! Another INCREDIBLE use is to make a very large batch of it (maybe, a cup each?) and freeze it to make coffee ice cream! Have this with a warm slice of banana bread.
