    • Coffee Whipped Cream

    Homemade coffee whipped cream is a tasty treat that adds a rich coffee flavor to desserts and drinks. It's made with simple ingredients and I give you step-by-step instructions. Turn traditional whipped cream into a creamy coffee mixture!

    One thing to note is that the instant coffee granules are the best option because they will provide a stronger coffee flavor than regular brewed coffee. It's a must try for coffee lovers!

    Why You'll Love This Recipe

    You don't need any special equipment, just an electric hand mixer to whip the heavy cream.

    Coffee cream is a great way to add an extra bit of sweetness to your recipes. It's perfect for topping ice cream, chocolate pudding or hot chocolate, in hot coffee, or over cold milk (similar to dalgona coffee).

    Ingredients You Need

    coffee whipped cream labeled ingredients.
    • Sugar: Sugar is used to sweeten the whipped cream. It's important to add enough sugar to balance out the bitter flavor of the coffee and cocoa.
    • Baking cocoa: Used to add a rich chocolate flavor to the whipped cream.
    • Instant coffee granules: These granules dissolve easily in the whipped cream and provide a concentrated coffee flavor.

    How To Make Coffee Whipped Cream From Scratch

    Step 1. Combine ingredients: In the chilled bowl, add heavy whipping cream, sugar, baking cocoa, and instant coffee granules.

    Step 2. Whip on high speed: Use an electric mixer on high speed to whisk the mixture until stiff peaks form. This may take a few minutes.

    Step 3. Check consistency: Be sure the whipped cream has reached the desired consistency. Be careful not to overwhip.

    Tips

    • For best results, be sure the heavy whipping cream and mixing bowl are chilled before you start whipping. Using a chilled bowl will also help.
    • Whipping the cream to stiff peaks is essential for creating a stable whipped cream that will hold its shape. Stiffer peaks means the whipped cream will hold its shape when you lift the whisk out of the bowl.
    • Chill the whipped cream in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before using it. This will help it to set and hold its shape better when you use it as a topping.
    • Add a little bit of vanilla extract for an optional ingredient.

    Frequently Asked Questions About Coffee Whipped Cream

    How should I store leftover coffee whipped cream?

    Store any leftover whipped cream in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 1-2 days.

    Can I freeze coffee whipped cream?

    I do not recommend freezing. It can become grainy and lose its texture when thawed. It's best to make it fresh as needed.
