Dalgona Coffee Recipe | Korean Whipped Coffee
Description
The signature whipped coffee topping is created by combining instant coffee, sugar, and boiling water, then whisking by hand or mixer until it forms a smooth, thick, and creamy foam. The technique alternates clockwise and zig-zag motions to incorporate air fully. This foam is spooned over milk served with ice cubes for a refreshing cold drink, although hot milk can be used instead for a warm version.
The resulting beverage layers a light, sweet, and coffee-forward whipped topping over milk, offering a contrast of textures and an intensified coffee flavor without bitterness. The optional cocoa powder adds a hint of chocolate aroma and color contrast on top.
Dalgona Coffee is visually striking and can be prepared quickly with a few ingredients, making it suitable for a coffee treat at home with minimal equipment. Adjusting sugar levels tailors the sweetness to taste.
Ingredients
For whipping
- 1 tablespoon instant coffee
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons water hot, boiling
Other Ingredients
- 1.5 cups milk (at room temperature or chilled)
- ice cubes - as required, optional
For topping
- ¼ teaspoon cocoa powder - optional
Instructions
Whipping Coffee Mixture
- Take coffee, sugar and hot boiling water in a mixing bowl.
- Using a small whisk begin to whip and beat till the mixture is creamy and thick.
- Use two ways of beating the coffee. First beat clockwise and then use vertical zig-zag motions. Alternate between the two. If the bowl is small, then slightly tilt the bowl and beat.
- To whip, can also use a small blender or mixer-grinder or a hand-held mixer (which is used for whipping cream or making cake batter).
Making Dalgona Coffee
- Add 2 to 3 ice cubes in a mug or glass.
- Divide 1.5 cups of milk between both the glasses.
- Now divide the whipped coffee equally in the two glasses.
- Sprinkle some cocoa powder on the coffee (optional). Serve.
Notes
- Use instant coffee powder to achieve proper whipping; other coffee types will not whip adequately.
- For a hot drink, substitute cold milk with hot milk when serving.
- Adjust sugar quantity to balance sweetness according to your preference.
