What is whipped coffee?
Whipped coffee, also known as Dalgona coffee was the Tiktock craze that swept the nation earlier this spring. I almost think it should be called inside out coffee because you’re basically putting the coffee on top of the milk! Using a mixer, you whip instant coffee with water, sugar and in this case pumpkin to get a fluffy, whipped cream like texture that’s extra silky smooth!

how to make pumpkin spice whipped coffee
Making whipped coffee is easier than you might have thought but does take a little bit of patience!
- Boil the water. You will only need 2 tbsp. of water for this recipe, however I recommend boiling about a cup or so in a small saucepan so it’s easy to measure out with a tablespoon.
- Add the coffee and the water to the bowl of a stand mixer. While the water is boiling, add 2 tbsp. of instant coffee to the bowl of a stand mixer. Add the boiling water next so that it interacts with the coffee.
- Add the coconut sugar, pumpkin puree and collagen if using. Add the rest of the ingredients directly on top of the coffee and water.
- Whisk on high for 4-5 minutes. Here’s where the patience comes in! It will take a few minutes for the mixture to start getting thick and whipped cream like. Make sure your mixer is on one of the highest speeds and that you’re using the whisk attachment.
- Prepare your milk over ice. For this recipe I like using unsweetened almond milk or oat milk. Get it ready while your coffee is whipping.
- Spoon whipped coffee on top of milk. The coffee will start mixing together with the milk, that’s fine!
- Sprinkle pumpkin pie spice on top. Mix together and enjoy!
