A Guide to Making Whipped Coffee Without Instant Coffee

Table of Contents

Introduction

I don’t like instant coffee. It’s not just because it tastes bad: it’s also because the ingredients are questionable and nobody knows what they’re putting in there. But I do like whipping cream, and that means that I’ve been on the lookout for a way to make whipped cream with real coffee instead of instant coffee powder. Here’s my guide to making whipped coffee without instant powder—you can even use this technique if you want to serve your guests some fancy-ass coffee foam!

1. Buy a strong coffee.

The first step to making whipped coffee is to buy a strong coffee. If you’re using instant, buy the strongest kind that’s available to you, or brew it stronger than usual. If you’re using brewed coffee and want to make whipped cream with less effort (for example), use more grounds than usual. If you’re using espresso, use less grounds–this will produce an intensely flavored result that can stand up to the creaminess of whipped cream without being overwhelmed by its sweetness or richness

2. Make sure you’re using the right kind of cream.

You can use heavy (whipping) cream in your coffee, but it’s not as stable. If you’re making whipped cream, think of the difference between cream with a high fat content and one that has low fat. The higher-fat version will be less likely to separate or become lumpy when chilled. If you want to use whole milk instead of half-and-half or heavy whipping cream, make sure to add sugar or sweetener before freezing—a little goes a long way!

3. The whipped topping is key!

The whipped topping is key to this recipe. It creates an airy, fluffy texture that’s not unlike what you would get from instant coffee powder. You can use any type of cream and sweetener you want, but I love using heavy cream and vanilla extract because they’re delicious together!

For each serving:

1/3 cup heavy cream

1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (or another flavoring)

1/4 teaspoon sugar

No instant coffee, no problem!

If you don’t have any instant coffee on hand, there is still a way to make whipped coffee. You just need to use the right kind of cream and topping. The only thing that will change is the consistency of your whipped cream—and that’s totally fine!

Conclusion

So there you have it! A guide to making whipped coffee without instant coffee. It’s pretty simple, but the key is in using the right ingredients and being patient with yourself. If you follow these steps carefully and slowly, then you’ll be sipping on some delicious whipped coffee in no time at all!
