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.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  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.
