Whipped Coffee

Leave a comment

After seeing all the craze about whipped coffee (also known as Dalgona coffee), I had to make it! With all the coffee shops closed right now, this is a good alternative to have if you’re missing your caffeine fix or don’t own a coffee machine.

You can enjoy this hot or cold and add any flavourings of your choice such as salted caramel or chocolate to make it even more indulging.

Do use an electric whisk if you own one as this will be much quicker than whisking by hand. If you are whisking by hand, expect to do it for around 20 minutes or more to get the coffee whipped properly.

Have you made this yet? What did you think of it?

If having it hot – add some of the whipped coffee into a mug and top with boiling water or milk of your choice.

I do post regular on my Instagram (mostly on my stories), do give me a follow on there please if you’re on it (@Rahema_m), or my public Facebook page (Rahema).

For now, I am going to leave you guys with this super easy pizza recipe the girls and I made yesterday. Do let me know if you make this or any of the other recipes on my blog, feel free to tag me in your creations so I can share on my social media.

If you have any ideas on recipes I should share, please get in touch. I need both SW friendly and non SW friendly ideas!

Ingredients

Dough
  • 650g strong bread flour
  • 7g sachet yeast
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 50ml warm milk
  • 350ml warm water
Dough Ingredients

Dough Ingredients

Sauce
  • Spray oil
  • 1 small red onion, finely chopped
  • 3-4 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 500g tub passata
  • 2 tbsp ketchup (or BBQ sauce)
  • Salt (to taste)
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 tbsp pizza seasoning or dried Italian seasoning
  • Sprinkle of chilli flakes (optional)

Method

Dough

Sift the flour and salt together and set it aside.

Mix the warm milk with the warm water and dissolve the yeast sachet. Mix it well till there are no lumps.

Slowly add the water mix into the flour and knead. Lastly add the olive oil and knead for around 5 minutes if you’re using a KitchenAid, or if you are kneading by hand, knead until the dough comes together.

Spread a little olive oil all over a large bowl and place the dough in it. Cover it in cling film and let it prove in a proving drawer or somewhere warm for at least a couple of hours (the dough should double in size, make sure your bowl is large enough).

Sauce

Spray a pan with plenty of spray oil and fry the onion with the garlic. Add the passata, ketchup, salt, bay leaf, herbs and chilli (if using). Cook the sauce on a low heat for around 15 minutes. Once cooked, remove the bay leaf and blend the sauce if you like a smoother sauce. Set it aside to cool down till needed.

Assembling pizza

Divide the dough into two. Stretch out one of the halves onto a pizza tray (I use two 12.5′ pizza trays). Add the sauce and any toppings of your choice,

Bake the pizza for around 15 minutes.

Tip: If you have any leftover sauce, you can freeze it for a month or use it up in a pasta dish.
