    Expert Tips

    • Use high-quality instant coffee. To get the best flavor, use high-quality instant coffee that you enjoy drinking on its own.
    • Whisk until light and fluffy. Whisk the coffee mixture on high speed until it becomes light, fluffy, and creamy. This can take several minutes, so be patient and keep whisking until you achieve the desired consistency.
    • Use a large mixing bowl. A large mixing bowl will give you enough room to whisk the mixture without splashing.
    • Get creative with toppings. Feel free to get creative and add any other toppings or flavors that you enjoy. Some popular options include cinnamon, cocoa powder, or vanilla extract.

    Variations

    • Mocha Whipped Coffee: To make a mocha version, add 1-2 tablespoons of cocoa powder to the instant coffee mixture before whipping.
    • Spiced Whipped Coffee: To add a touch of spice, add ¼ teaspoon of cinnamon or nutmeg to the instant coffee mixture before whipping.
    • Flavored Whipped Coffee: To add a flavor twist, add a few drops of vanilla extract or almond extract to the instant coffee mixture before whipping.
    • Matcha Whipped Coffee: To make a matcha version, replace the instant coffee with matcha powder and add 1-2 tablespoons of hot water to the mixture before whipping.

    Storing

    Leftover whipped coffee mixture can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. However, it's best to use the mixture as soon as possible, as it can start to separate and lose its fluffiness over time.

    Recipe FAQ's

    Can I use a different type of sugar?

    Yes, you can use any type of granulated sugar, including brown sugar, coconut sugar, or maple sugar.

    Can I use any type of non-dairy milk?

    Yes, you can use any type of non-dairy milk, such as almond milk, soy milk, oat milk, or coconut milk.

    What if I don't have a hand mixer or a whisk?

    If you don't have a hand mixer or a whisk, you can use a fork or a whisk. However, it may take longer to achieve the desired consistency.

    What if the whipped coffee mixture is too thick or too thin?

    If the whipped coffee mixture is too thick, add a little bit more hot water and whisk until desired consistency is reached. If the whipped coffee mixture is too thin, add a little more instant coffee and whisk again.
