Want to up your coffee game? Try Whipped Coffee which is also called Dalgona Coffee. It’s smooth, creamy, rich, and bold – a whole new way to impress your family and friends with a cup of cold refreshing coffee.
I’m so excited about this trendy coffee drink that I am making it almost every weekend.
Why This Recipe Works
- This coffee is TRENDING HOT on social media. It is EVERYWHERE and everyone is making it.
- There’s something very satisfying about sitting down with a glass of whipped coffee because it’s comforting but fancy at the same time.
- It has only three ingredients and it’s super simple to make by whipping instant coffee, water, and sugar until it becomes smooth and creamy.
What is Whipped Coffee?
Although Whipped Coffee is trendy right now, it is not a new drink. It’s also called Dalgona coffee which is a Korean beverage made by vigorously whipping together equal parts of instant coffee, granulated sugar, and warm water.
When the three ingredients are whipped together, they create a creamy frothy mixture. It’s also strangely thick and sticky at the same time and reminds me of meringue.
It is served on top of a glass of warm or iced milk.
Three Simple Ingredients
Instant Coffee Crystals – be sure to read the ingredients on the instant coffee jar to ensure you are buying coffee crystals which are the agitation element in this recipe.
Sugar – this is just basic white granulated sugar.
Water – the water needs to be very warm but not hot. I’ve made this with room temperature water and very warm water and the very warm water works better by creating higher thicker peaks.
How to Make Whipped Coffee
- Start by adding equal parts of instant coffee, warm water, and sugar to a bowl.
- Set the mixer to medium speed and mix for 5-7 minutes.
- As you mix, the coffee will become thicker and lighter in color.
- Whip it until it is thick and creamy.
- You’ll know it’s ready when it forms stiff peaks.
- Test to see if it’s ready by lightly touching the mixture with your finger. If it stands up in little peaks when you touch it, it’s ready.
- Serve it over a glass of hot milk or iced cold milk.

Krazy Kitchen Mom Tips

If you don’t have a hand mixer, you can use a whisk but be warned, you are going to need some strength because it will take you a lot longer. I have read that some people make this in a blender but I have not tried that yet so I can’t recommend it.

- Freeze it – You can freeze the whipped coffee by placing it in an airtight container for up to one month. It won’t freeze hard. It will still be soft and creamy and tastes especially good on top of cold milk with ice.
