Description
A viral whipped coffee trend that creates a fluffy, meringue-like coffee topping served over ice-cold milk. This easy, customizable drink is relaxing to make and costs pennies compared to cafe versions.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons instant coffee
- 2 tablespoons white sugar
- 2 tablespoons hot water
- 1 cup ice cold milk (whole, oat, or almond)
- Ice cubes (optional)
- Optional add-ins: vanilla extract, chocolate syrup, or cinnamon
Instructions
- Fill a glass or mug with ice cold milk and ice cubes if desired; set aside.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine instant coffee, sugar, and hot water. Stir briefly to dissolve.
- Using a handheld electric mixer on medium-high speed, whip the mixture for 4-5 minutes until it becomes light caramel colored, thick, and forms stiff peaks.
- Scoop the whipped coffee mixture onto the surface of the cold milk.
- Stir in before drinking or sip the foam layer first, then mix as desired.
Notes
Instant coffee is essential for proper texture; do not use ground coffee. Ensure water is hot to dissolve sugar and coffee instantly. Keep milk very cold to prevent the topping from melting too quickly. The whipped topping should be made fresh as it deflates quickly.
