Water-based Coffee Cream

I can explain how to make a delicious water-based coffee cream, which is also a lighter variant of the traditional coffee cream that usually contains cream or milk. Let’s see how to prepare it together.

Ingredients

• 150 ml of very cold water
• 100 g of granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons of instant coffee (about 10 g)
• A drop of vanilla flavor or a pinch of vanillin (optional)

Preparation

1. Get a tall and narrow container in which you can use an immersion blender.
2. Pour the cold water (you can also use ice cubes to cool it down further if necessary) into the container.
3. Add the granulated sugar and instant coffee.
4. If you wish, add the vanilla flavor or vanillin for an extra touch of flavor.
5. Start blending with the immersion blender, keeping it in a vertical position at first to mix all the ingredients, and then tilting it to incorporate more air. Continue for about 5 minutes or until the mixture becomes light and frothy, with a creamy consistency.
6. Once the coffee cream reaches the desired consistency, you can pour it into glasses and serve it immediately.

Curiosity

Water-based coffee cream is a lighter and more refreshing variant compared to the classic coffee cream, often served as a dessert or as an energizing snack. It is prepared without the use of dairy and can be a perfect option for those following a vegan diet or who are lactose intolerant. Moreover, the use of instant coffee is crucial as the dehydrated coffee particles help create the frothy and creamy texture that characterizes this preparation.

I hope you like this recipe and I invite you to customize it according to your tastes, perhaps adding a pinch of cocoa powder or a touch of cinnamon to add a note of warm aroma to your dessert. Enjoy!
