How to Make Tiktok Coffee
To make this TikTok whipped coffee drink you will need a small whisk or a hand mixer, with only one of the whisk attachments.
- In a small or medium sized bowl, whisk together the sugar, Instant coffee, and water using an electric hand mixer. Continue whisking the mixture until stiff peaks form. This process only takes about 4-5 minutes, if whisking vigorously. The mixture will start out grainy and very dark, it will lighten and blend as the coffee thickens into whipped coffee. (Think of it like Cool Whip!)
- In a glass cup, add in ice and pour in milk, dollop the coffee foam on top of the cold milk.

If your coffee is not thickening into a fluffy whipped cream consistency, it’s most likely due to not having had whisked it hard or long enough.

- Opt for cappuccino. For a sweet iced coffee drink to make at home, grab an instant cappuccino mixture. This allows you to broaden your flavor variety as well.
- Add spices. Ground nutmeg, cinnamon, or pumpkin pie spice will warm things up with it’s earthy taste.
- Top it off! Some TikTok coffee videos shows creative makers topping their Dalgona coffee with fresh raspberries. Be brave! Fresh chocolate shavings would also be great.
- Splash more in. If you enjoy adult beverages, you can add in a splash of Kahlua or Bailey’s for a creamy adult Dalgona coffee drink.
