Place hot coffee and sugar in a mixing bowl, mix to combine.
¼ cup hot strong brewed coffee, ¼ cup white sugar
Whip with an electrical whisk until fluffy and creamy, and sort of like a soft meringue in texture. This can take up to 10 minutes.
½ cup cold strong brewed coffee, ½ cup cold milk
Pour cold coffee and milk in a glass. Top with the whipped coffee, and serve!
Notes
Ingredient notes
Strong brewed coffee: Should be strong both for the flavor and the whipping properties
Sugar: You need a lot of sugar for the coffee to whip properly, so do follow the amounts stated - or add even more
Hot coffee is used for whipping, starting from hot allows the sugar to melt into it and makes for a better whip
Cold coffeeand cold milk is used to serve
Extra seasoning can be added: vanilla sugar, vanilla extract and cocoa powder are great variations. Either add it to the cold coffee and milk, or to the whipped coffee after whipping.
Ingredient substitutions
Strong brewed coffee can be swapped for espresso
Sugar: You can use white sugar, coconut sugar or brown sugar. You can also swap it for sweetener, but the amount needed will vary with the type.
Cold coffee and cold milk can be swapped one for the other and combined in whatever ratio suits your tastebuds
Tips & tricks
Use an electric whisk - it will take a very long time with a manual whisk
It will take longer to whip then when using instant coffee
Do not serve on a hot beverage as the whipped coffee can then melt
Prep ahead: Make the whipped coffee ahead of time and store in the refrigerator for a couple of hours. Whip quickly just before serving.
Make ahead: Make the entire coffee drink ahead of time and store covered in the refrigerator for a couple of hours. A perfect make-ahead dessert for your dinner party!
