Ingredients:
For the Coffee Mixture:
- 4 tablespoons instant coffee
- 20 ml (2 tablespoons) milk
- 3 tablespoons condensed milk
- 10 g vanilla sugar (about 2 teaspoons)
- 400 ml whipped cream
For the Coffee Foam Topping:
- 2 tablespoons instant coffee
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons hot water
Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Coffee Mixture
-
Mix Coffee and Condensed Milk:
In a bowl, combine 4 tablespoons instant coffee with 3 tablespoons condensed milk. Stir well to blend the flavors. -
Heat Milk:
Pour 20 ml (2 tablespoons) milk into a small saucepan and warm it over low heat (do not boil). Once warmed, pour the milk into the coffee mixture and stir. -
Add Vanilla Sugar:
Stir in 10 g vanilla sugar (or 2 teaspoons) for sweetness and aroma.
Step 2: Prepare the Whipped Cream
-
Whip the Cream:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk 400 ml whipped cream using an electric mixer (or hand whisk) until soft peaks form. This should take 3-5 minutes with an electric mixer. -
Combine with Coffee Mixture:
Gently fold the whipped cream into the coffee mixture using a spatula. Mix until smooth but keep the whipped cream’s light, airy texture.
Step 3: Prepare the Coffee Foam Topping
-
Mix Coffee, Sugar, and Hot Water:
In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons instant coffee, 2 tablespoons sugar, and 2 tablespoons hot water. Stir until the coffee dissolves. -
Whip the Foam:
Use an electric mixer or hand whisk to beat the mixture until it becomes light and frothy. This should take about 2-3 minutes with an electric mixer, or 5-7 minutes by hand.
Step 4: Assemble the Drink
-
Layer the Creamy Coffee:
Divide the creamy coffee mixture evenly into glasses or cups, filling them about three-quarters of the way. -
Top with Foam:
Gently spoon the whipped coffee foam over the coffee, creating a beautiful contrast between the creamy base and the fluffy foam. -
Garnish & Serve:
Optional: Garnish with cocoa powder, grated chocolate, or a light dusting of cinnamon. Serve immediately while the foam is fresh and airy.
Cooking Tips:
- Sweetness: Customize the sweetness by adjusting the condensed milk or sugar to your preference.
- Serve Cold or Hot: This drink can be served hot or chilled. For a cold version, refrigerate the coffee mixture and whipped cream before assembling, or add ice cubes for a refreshing treat.
- Chocolate Twist: Add melted chocolate to the coffee mixture for a mocha-flavored variation.
- Toppings: Get creative with toppings like crushed nuts, shaved coconut, or caramel drizzle for added flavor and texture.
- Vanilla Variation: Replace vanilla sugar with real vanilla extract or vanilla bean seeds (about 1 teaspoon extract or the seeds from half a vanilla bean).
Storage:
- Refrigeration: Store any leftover coffee mixture in the fridge for up to 24 hours. However, the whipped foam should be made fresh for the best results, as it loses volume over time.
- Freezing: Freeze the coffee mixture in ice cube trays and later blend the cubes with milk or cream for a frozen coffee treat.
