Whipped Coffee, also known as Dalgona Coffee, is a rich and creamy delight that transforms simple ingredients into a frothy masterpiece. Perfectly paired with either hot or cold milk, it's the ideal pick-me-up for any time of day, from a bright morning start to a soothing evening treat.
Find a large glass bowl and add in your instant coffee granules or powder, sugar, and warm water. The warmth of the water is key here, as it helps dissolve the coffee and sugar more effectively, setting the stage for a perfect whip.
Now, it's time to get whisking. You can use a hand whisk, but an electric beater will make the job easier and faster. Aim for about 7 to 10 minutes of beating. What you're looking for is a light and airy consistency, with stiff peaks just like whipped cream. This is when you know your coffee mixture is ready.
Now, gently pour cold or warm milk into your chosen glass. Carefully spoon the whipped coffee on top, creating a beautiful layer. Your delightful dalgona coffee is now ready for you to enjoy its rich and creamy taste.
Serving
Enjoy this whipped coffee as a luxurious start to your day or as a delightful snack-time treat.
Notes
Here are some helpful tips to make your own Whipped Coffee:
Proportions: Keep it even – equal parts coffee, sugar, and water for that ideal creamy fluff. If you like it sweeter, add a bit more sweetness to your milk.
Consistent Speed: When whipping, maintain a consistent speed for even fluffiness. This ensures the mixture aerates properly for that perfect creamy texture.
Whipping Tools: An electric hand beater is your best friend for quick results, but a hand whisk will do the trick too. Just steer clear of spoons or forks, as they'll make the job tougher and longer.
Whipping Bowl: Use a wide bowl to whip your coffee; it helps air move better and makes whipping easier. Small bowls or mugs could slow you down.
Customize Your Sweetness: Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less sugar to the coffee mixture, or consider sweetening your milk if you prefer a subtly sweet drink without altering the coffee's texture.
Experiment with Flavors: Add a dash of cinnamon, cocoa powder, or vanilla extract to the coffee mixture for a personalized flavor twist.
Add Toppings: Elevate your whipped coffee by topping it with chocolate shavings, nuts, or crushed cookies for an added burst of flavor and texture.
Chill Your Serving Glass: If you're going for a cold version, chilling your glass beforehand can keep your drink cooler for longer and add an extra refreshing touch.
