This "Whipped" Iced Coffee Drink Is Like a Dalgona Coffee, Except It Tastes Good

In March, I, like most of you, bought a frothing gadget — this Zulay Kitchen Handheld Electric Milk Frother ($15) to be exact — and attempted to make the much-hyped TikTok recipe trend, dalgona whipped coffee. It. Was. Terrible. I even made it several times, trying different ratios, different instant coffees, hot, cold, sweetened, unsweetened. I figured I must have just been doing it wrong, but now I think it just not for me, and I've made peace with it.

But now I have this frother, and it seemed a waste not to try out other whipped treats. Before trying anything too adventurous (like this banana coconut latte with whipped coffee I've been wanting to try), I thought I'd start with the most obvious: whipped cream.

Turns out, making a single serving of delicious, fluffy homemade whipped cream is incredibly easy! All you need is heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, a handheld frother, and a mason jar. It seriously only takes one minute to make. While you can you use it top anything (including pancakes, which I highly recommend), I prefer to use it to make my own version of a dalgona coffee — topping off my favorite Trader Joe's cold brew on ice. It's like a milkshake, except more refreshing and caffeinated. The perfect summer treat. Get the recipe ahead!
