TikTok’s Whipped Coffee Recipe

I came across this whipped coffee on Tiktok (yes, I have been sucked in) and it looked SO easy to make so I figured I’d give it a whirl and share it with you! Well fast forward and…I’m addicted! Tiktok’s whipped coffee is basically a strong, frothy, coffee drink that you can make at easily home!

I’m not sure who exactly started this Tiktok coffee trend but I have seen it so many times so I thought I would put it to the test. It only takes 3 ingredients (one being water) and thankfully I had everything in my pantry. I will warn you though, it takes almost 10 whole minutes of beating the mixture with a hand mixer so if you’re going to do this with a whisk, be ready for an arm workout!

How to make TikTok’s Whipped Coffee:

Step 1. Get a small bowl and mix together the instant coffee, sugar, and water. (See full recipe below for measurements.)

Step 2. Whip like a mad-man! Like I mentioned above, you CAN do this by hand but you will be whisking for a long time. Your best option is to use a hand mixer with a whisk attachment. I actually don’t have a whisk attachment on mine so I just put one beater in my hand mixer and use that.

Here’s are the stages that the mixture will go through. When it gets very thick and frothy, it’s done! You’ll know when it sticks to the mixer and doesn’t drip off at all.

From start to finish, the whipping process takes about 7 minutes depending on the speed of your mixer.

Tips for whipping the coffee mixture:

1. Use a small bowl so the beater reaches deeper into the mixture.
2. Use either a whisk attachment for a hand mixer or just 1 beater.
3. Be patient! It takes a little time but it’s worth it!
4. Whip up the mixture when you’re ready to enjoy the drink. This cannot be made ahead of time. You are basically whipping air into the mixture and it will start to deflate after a few minutes.

Step 3. Once the coffee mixture is nice and thick, add ice to your glass, pour in your milk, then top with the whipped coffee. Stir together and enjoy!

Variations on Tiktok’s whipped coffee:

• This recipe makes a very strong coffee drink. If you would like a lighter drink, split this between 2 or 3 cups of milk and share with a friend!
• Although there is sugar in this whipped coffee, it’s not super sweet because of the amount of strong coffee. If you enjoy a very sweet coffee drink, you can add in a little bit of your favorite sweetened coffee creamer to your milk or 1 packet of stevia or splenda.
• Try adding a little sprinkle of cinnamon on top to garnish! (My favorite!)
• Drizzle your glass with a little chocolate syrup before adding in the ice and milk.
• Make with almond milk for a diary-free version.
• Live on the wild side and add a shot of bailey’s or kahlua!
