- Ensure your cream is very cold for better whipping results.
Storage

FAQs
Can I use regular sugar instead of powdered sugar?
Powdered sugar dissolves more easily and helps keep the whipped cream smooth. You can use regular granulated sugar, but it may not dissolve completely and could affect the texture.
Can I prepare coffee whipped cream ahead of time?
It’s best served fresh, but you can make it a few hours in advance and keep it refrigerated. Just re-whip gently before serving if it starts to lose volume.

Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy cream, chilled
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon instant coffee granules
Instructions
- Prepare the coffee mixture: In a small bowl, dissolve the instant coffee granules in a teaspoon of warm water to activate the flavor. Allow to cool slightly.
- Combine the ingredients: Pour the chilled heavy cream into a mixing bowl. Add the powdered sugar and the cooled coffee mixture to the cream.
- Whip the cream: Using an electric mixer or a whisk, beat the mixture on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, approximately 3 to 5 minutes. Be careful not to overwhip, or the cream will turn into butter.
- Serve: Use immediately as a topping for coffee, desserts, or refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Gently rewhip if needed before serving.
Notes
- Ensure the heavy cream is well chilled for best whipping results.
- You can adjust the amount of powdered sugar and coffee to taste.
- If using coffee powder directly, dissolve it first to prevent graininess.
- For a stronger coffee flavor, increase the instant coffee slightly but be cautious not to overpower the cream.
- Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator; whipped cream tends to lose volume over time.
