FAQs
1. Can I use fresh coffee instead of instant coffee?
While this recipe is designed for instant coffee, you can experiment with strongly brewed fresh coffee. However, the foam topping may not whip as effectively without the structure provided by instant coffee.
2. Can I make this recipe vegan?
Yes! Substitute dairy milk with plant-based options like almond or oat milk, and use coconut cream instead of whipped cream. Replace condensed milk with a vegan condensed milk alternative.
3. How can I make it less sweet?
Simply reduce the amount of condensed milk and sugar in the recipe. For a slightly bitter note, dust the top with cocoa powder or espresso powder.
4. Can I prepare this ahead of time?
The whipped coffee foam and cream can be prepared a few hours in advance and stored separately in the refrigerator. Assemble the drink just before serving for the best presentation and texture.
