Whipped coffee, also known as Dalgona coffee, is a four-ingredient coffee recipe that includes whipping instant coffee granules, water, and sugar together until thick and caramel-colored. The fluffy coffee becomes a camel-brown topping; you pour chilled milk in a glass and then spoon the whipped coffee on top to make a layered coffee drink that's pretty enough to 'gram. 

Recipe videos and TikToks for how to make this coffee recipe likely surface in your social media feeds and appear in buzzy articles with gifs. An easy make-at-home recipe, whipped coffee is ideal for days when you want to be your own barista and craft an iced latte-like drink in your own kitchen. You don't need a milk frother, espresso machine, or even brewed coffee to create this whipped coffee recipe—just handheld electric beaters, or if you want an at-home arm workout, a whisk and plenty of elbow grease.

What Is Whipped Coffee?

Also called Dalgona coffee, whipped coffee is made by combining coffee with creamer and whipping it until fluffy. Our paleo/Primal and keto-friendly whipped coffee recipe is made without added refined sugar or dairy, and our version holds its whipped consistency better thanks to the  collagen peptides we added. Instead of milk, we used unsweetened coconut milk (you can substitute unsweetened almond milk as well), and in place of sugar, we used granulated monk fruit. Our five-ingredient paleo whipped coffee recipe includes: instant coffee, water, monk fruit, coconut milk, and collagen peptides for structure and 10g of type 1 and 3 collagen.

Paleo No-Dairy Whipped Coffee is in a mason jar mug, with collagen peptides near by.

How to Make No-Dairy Whipped Coffee

We whipped instant coffee granules with water and monk fruit with a whisk by hand until the mixture morphed into a peanut butter-like color and consistency. This takes a while, so if you don't want an at-home arm workout, use an electric mixer or handheld beaters for this part.

To serve, pour chilled unsweetened coconut milk into a glass (additional ice cubes optional). Spoon the paleo/Primal whipped coffee on top of the coconut milk, swirling the top with the back of the spoon so the whipped coffee sits evenly on the top.
