Remember those early pandemic days when everyone was obsessed with whipped coffee? I jumped on that bandwagon too, and boy, did it become a morning ritual—almost like a frothy cloud of caffeine bliss. It’s the kind of simple pleasure that, despite its fleeting internet fame, still feels like a cozy hug in a mug.
Steps
- Combine equal parts of instant coffee, granulated sugar, and boiling water in a bowl. Use 1, 2, or 3 tablespoons of each, depending on your desired serving size.
- Whisk the mixture vigorously using a whisk, hand mixer, or frother. Continue until the mixture transforms from a dark liquid to a thick, light-colored consistency, resembling creamy peanut butter.
- Ensure the mixture forms peaks and maintains its shape, indicating it’s ready. This step takes about 5 to 15 minutes, depending on the mixing tool used.
- Spoon the whipped coffee mixture over your choice of hot or iced milk. Stir gently to blend the flavors before enjoying your homemade whipped coffee.

FAQ
- Can I use regular ground coffee instead of instant coffee?
- No, the whipped coffee recipe requires instant coffee because regular ground coffee needs to be brewed first to be drinkable. Instant coffee is essential for achieving the desired whipped texture.
- What type of sugar is recommended for making whipped coffee?
- Granulated sugar is best for this recipe. You can use various types such as traditional white sugar, cane sugar, brown sugar, coconut sugar, or raw sugar.
- Is it possible to make whipped coffee with less sugar or a sugar substitute?
- Yes, you can reduce the sugar, omit it entirely, or use a sugar alternative like Stevia. However, the mixture may not become as light or fluffy without the sugar.
- Which brand of instant coffee is suggested for making whipped coffee?
- Any brand of instant coffee will work, but Nescafe is a popular choice due to its availability and quality, making it a go-to option for many.
- How should I serve whipped coffee for the best experience?
- Spoon the whipped coffee over your choice of milk, whether iced or hot. Mixing it with a spoon or straw before drinking enhances the flavor, creating a texture similar to a frappuccino.
Tips
- Use hot water to expedite the whipping process. Though room temperature or cold water can work, hot water helps achieve the desired creamy texture more quickly.
- Opt for an electric mixer or milk frother to save time and effort. Manual whisking can be tiring and takes longer.
- Whisk the ingredients in an open bowl rather than a mug or jar to allow adequate air circulation, which helps achieve the fluffy consistency.
- Stir the whipped coffee into your milk or water before drinking to fully incorporate the flavors and enjoy a frappuccino-like experience.
Equipment
- Stand Mixer – Useful for making the whipping process faster and easier.
- Hand Mixer – A more portable option than a stand mixer and still effective.
- Milk Frother – Compact and convenient for whipping small amounts quickly.
