Salted Caramel Whipped Espresso
How to make the recent food trend "Whipped Coffee" or "Dalgona Coffee" but made with Instant Espresso for more robust coffee flavor.
Equipment
- Electric Hand Mixer
Ingredients
- 2 T Instant Espresso link in notes
- 2 T Hot Water
- 2 T Sugar
- Caramel Syrup
- 2 cups Whole Milk
- Ice Cubes
- Sea Salt
Instructions
- Add the instant espresso, water, & sugar to a medium bowl. Whip with an electric hand mixer for 3-5 minutes, until mixture is fluffy & a lighter brown color closer to caramel.
- Drizzle the caramel syrup on the inside of the two glasses you will use. To do this, tilt the cup & turn as you drizzle the caramel up & down the sides. Add the ice & milk to the cup.
- Spoon the whipped espresso over the milk, half in each cup. Add a big pinch of sea salt over the coffee (almost a full turn on a grinder). Gently stir the coffee & milk together until they are no longer separated.
- Enjoy!
Notes
- This is the Instant Espresso I use.
- I use hot water from my tap, but if you want to warm it up in the microwave that works too. It doesn't need to be boiling hot.
- If you're skeptical about the salt, make it without first. Stir together well & taste test it before adding the salt. Start with a small pinch & add another if you still taste a bitter or burnt coffee taste.
- Whole Milk or Vitamin D Milk makes this very smooth & silky. I have not tried 2% or Skim milk so I cannot speak to the consistency.
