Ingredients

Units Scale

Whipped Coffee Mixture

  • 6 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons unsweetened, unsalted smooth almond butter
  • 1 tablespoon instant coffee granules
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons confectioners' sugar

Serving

  • Ice for serving
  • 1 cup whole milk (1/2 cup per glass)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Whipped Coffee: In a medium-sized bowl, combine 6 tablespoons of heavy cream, 1½ tablespoons of unsweetened, unsalted almond butter, 1 tablespoon of instant coffee granules, and 1½ teaspoons of confectioners’ sugar. Use an electric mixer on low speed to beat the mixture until it becomes light and fluffy, which should take about 1 minute.
  2. Assemble the Drink: Fill two tall glasses with ice cubes. Pour ½ cup of whole milk into each glass over the ice to chill the milk.
  3. Add the Whipped Coffee: Spoon the light and frothy whipped coffee mixture over the milk in each glass. Stir gently to combine the whipped coffee with the chilled milk.
  4. Serve Immediately: Serve the whipped iced coffee immediately to enjoy its fresh, creamy texture and invigorating flavor.

Notes

  • Use smooth almond butter for the best texture and creaminess.
  • You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less confectioners’ sugar.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute whole milk and heavy cream with almond or oat milk and coconut cream, respectively.
  • Instant coffee granules dissolve quickly for a smooth whipped texture; avoid using brewed coffee.
  • Serve immediately as the whipped topping may deflate if left standing too long.
