Looking for a lightning-fast sweet finish without quark, whipped cream or mascarpone? This coffee cream can be made from just three ingredients and in two minutes you’ll whip up an airy foam that looks and tastes great. Serve it in glasses, as a topping for a slice, or on top of a bundt cake.

For 4 serving

Ingredients

140 ml cold water
35 g instant coffee
150 g granulated sugar

Preparation procedure

Place the water in the fridge to chill for at least 60 minutes (or use ice-cold water straight from the refrigerator).
Pour the sugar and instant coffee into a bowl, then add the measured cold water.
Whip with the beaters of an electric mixer for 2–3 minutes, until a stiff, airy foam forms that holds its shape.
Fill glasses, or decorate a dessert with the coffee foam. Serve immediately.

Servings: 4

Total preparation time: 2 minutes (including chilling the water approx. 1 hour 2 minutes)

Tips and variations:

For a finer texture use powdered sugar.
Less-sweet version: reduce the sugar to 100–120 g.
Cold dessert in a glass: put ice cubes and milk into the glass, top with a spoonful of the foam – you get a striking „dalgona“ style.
A decaf version works just as well with decaffeinated instant coffee.
The foam is best fresh; in the fridge it will stay firm for several hours.

Conclusion

The coffee cream made from three common ingredients is ideal when you need to quickly prepare an elegant sweet finish. Its airy texture, pronounced coffee flavor, and no cooking make it a perfect garnish or a standalone mini dessert in glasses. Just chill the water, turn on the mixer, and you’ll be serving in no time.
