Whipped coffee is the shiz.
Who knew that you could make the famous dalgona coffee (aka tik tok whipped coffee) with dandy blend? It’s bold and beautiful, and perfectly delicious. And only three ingredients!
Now the texture is not as perfectly whipped as some of the pictures I’ve seen floating around instagram but that’s what we can expect with a caffeine-free and lower sugar alternative. I’m cool with it because I drank it in 2.5 seconds. YUM.
What is dandy blend, you ask?
It’s a dandelion root powder that tastes like rich coffee but without the jittery caffeine, acidity or bitterness. I always recommend people to limit or completely eliminate caffeine when trying to balance their hormones (because its important to keep our blood sugar balanced first and foremost), so dandy blend is the PERFECT alternative for happy hormones! Not to mention dandelion is amazing for liver detoxification.
Can you use stevia?!
I wanted to use stevia, I really did, but I read that it just doesn’t work. You need the sugar. So I opted for coconut sugar! I only used 1.5 tablespoons and it worked. It’s definitely much sweeter than I’m used to, so I consider this a treat but c’mon, we gotta live a little. Especially during this quarantine situation, you know?! I’m sure you could also try it with maple syrup?
Practice Patience
Anyways, this was super fun to make but you must practice patience. Like 10-15 minutes of patience, while using the hand blender. I gave it 15 minutes and no more haha. Maybe real coffee works faster? Not sure.
All you do is add the dandy blend and coconut sugar to a mixing bowl. Pour in the hot water and start using the hand mixer! Give it time. It will eventually get thicker and frothier.
Fill a glass with ice and a plant based milk of your choice. I chose soy milk because that’s what I’m into lately. Then pour the whipped coffee on top, grab a straw and enjoy!

Stir with a straw to combine and enjoy!

I cut this in half, 3 tbs is too much for 1 drink, it really didn’t froth up. Just a tad. Would it of been better to do the whole serving?
Just an FYI, I’ve made whipped coffee with instant coffee and it takes just as long as what the recipe states here for making whipped coffee with the dandy blend. Thanks for this recipe. I’m excited to try a caffeine free alternative.
