Equipment

  • 1 Small Bowl (Aquafaba)
  • 1 Small Bowl (Whipped Coffee)
  • 1 Stand or Hand Mixer
  • 1 Rubber Spatula
  • Measuring Cups & Spoons
  • Spoon (for layering the foam)

Ingredients
  

Whipped Coffee

  • 2 tablespoons instant coffee (I used decaf)
  • ½ teaspoon cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons golden coconut sugar
  • 2 tablespoons hot water
  • ¼ cup unsalted aquafaba (chickpea brine)
  • 1 cup dairy-free milk of choice (to taste)

Salted Caramel

Toppings

  • 1-2 teaspoons salted caramel (drizzled)
  • 1-2 teaspoons chocolate syrup (drizzled)

Instructions
 

Whipped Coffee

  • Whip the aquafaba (chickpea liquid) for about 2-3 minutes or until frothy. It should double in size.
    ¼ cup unsalted aquafaba
  • Use a mixer to combine the instant coffee, cocoa powder, golden coconut sugar, and hot water together. This takes about 2-3 min.
    2 tablespoons instant coffee, ½ teaspoon cocoa powder, 2 tablespoons golden coconut sugar, 2 tablespoons hot water
  • Use a rubber spatula to gently scoop out the whipped coffee. Combine it with your aquafaba foam. 
  • Drizzle caramel and chocolate syrup into a glass. Pour in 1 cup of your favorite milk. Add the blend of creamy coffee and aquafaba foam. Shake to combine. A thick layer of foam should rise to the top!
    1-2 teaspoons salted caramel, 1-2 teaspoons chocolate syrup, 1 cup dairy-free milk of choice

Salted Caramel

  • Heat the coconut cream, coconut sugar, sea salt, and corn starch over medium.
    1 cup coconut cream, ¾ cup golden coconut sugar, ¾ teaspoon sea salt, 1 tablespoon corn starch
  • Whisk to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil. 
  • Lower the heat and simmer for at least 5 minutes. 
  • Remove from the burner and stir in your vanilla extract. Once cool, the mixture will thicken considerably. You may need to reheat before every use, if you want a smoother drizzle.
    2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Notes

  1. Use two separate, small bowls for the aquafaba and coffee mixtures. You want to decrease the surface area, so more foam develops!
  2. Be sure to use the mixer on its highest setting. If using a hand mixer, it helps to quickly move it in circles, left-right, and up-down.
  3. You can use a large spoon to combine the non-dairy milk and whipped coffee...BUT it's definitely more fun if you shake everything together in a mason jar!
