Dalgona Coffee

Dalgona Coffee is made by whipping instant coffee, sugar, and hot water into a light, frothy caramel-colored foam, which is then spooned over a glass of milk. This whipped coffee topping provides a creamy, fluffy texture contrasting with smooth milk underneath.

Description

The preparation involves vigorously mixing equal parts instant coffee, sugar, and hot water until it thickens into a stable foam with a velvety texture and light caramel color. This can be done using a hand mixer or whisk by hand. The whipped topping is spooned onto milk served either cold with ice or warm according to preference.

The drink offers a layered experience with strong coffee flavor in the airy foam complemented by the creamy, subtle milk beneath. The texture contrast makes it visually appealing and unique compared to conventional coffee drinks.

Notes suggest optionally topping the foam with broken dalgona candy for added texture and sweetness. The milk can be warmed or iced, making it a versatile beverage.

Ingredients

Servings
  • 2 tablespoons instant coffee
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 tablespoons water hot
  • 1 cup milk

Instructions

  1. Add the coffee, sugar and hot water to a large bowl.
  2. Whip it with a hand mixer until the mix turns to light caramel color and frothy, about 3 to 4 minutes. Start at a low speed and increase to a higher speed after the coffee and sugar are dissolved. Scrape down the sides with a rubber spatula once or twice during whipping. Or, whisk it vigorously by hand with a whisk (or spoon). This will take much longer, depending on how thick you want your whipped coffee to be.
  3. Fill up a cup with about a ⅔ to ¾ way up with milk along with some ice cubes, if desired, and top it with the whipped coffee. A rubber spatula works great to scrape it off from the bowl. You can use warm milk if you want.

Notes

  • For added texture and sweetness, top the whipped coffee foam with broken dalgona candy if available.
  • Serve the drink over warm milk for a creamy hot beverage or add ice cubes for a cold version.
