Whipped Coffee Mixture
- 1/4 cup instant coffee (Nescafe, instant espresso, or any instant coffee will work)
- 1/4 cup sugar (can substitute with keto sweeteners)
- 1/4 cup boiling water
To Serve
- Prepare the Whipped Coffee Mixture: In a bowl, combine the instant coffee, sugar, and boiling water. Using a hand whisk or an electric mixer, vigorously whisk the mixture for 5 to 7 minutes until it becomes thick, stiff, and pale in color, forming a smooth and fluffy foam.
- Prepare the Milk Base: Pour 8 ounces of your preferred cold or hot milk into a serving cup.
- Assemble the Drink: Spoon 1 to 3 tablespoons of the whipped coffee mixture on top of the milk. Stir gently to combine if desired or enjoy as a layered drink for visual effect.
- Adjust to Taste: Remember the whipped coffee is very strong in flavor, but it will dilute with the milk. For a stronger coffee flavor, use less milk and more whipped coffee topping. Conversely, add more milk for a lighter taste. Feel free to adjust the sugar quantity in the whipped mixture to your preference.
Notes
- You can substitute sugar with keto-friendly sweeteners to reduce sugar content.
- Instant coffee is critical to create the airy texture—the recipe does not work with brewed coffee.
- Use an electric mixer for faster and more consistent whipping results.
- Try different types of milk such as almond, oat, or soy for a dairy-free version.
- Serve over ice for a refreshing iced dalgona coffee.
