Dalgona Coffee (Whipped Coffee)
Description
Dalgona Coffee (Whipped Coffee) combines equal parts instant coffee, granulated sugar, and boiling water, which are whisked until a thick, foamy whipped coffee forms. The resulting foam holds stiff peaks and is placed atop cold or warm milk served in a glass. Upon stirring, the whipped coffee dissolves into the milk creating a creamy, sweetened coffee drink.
The texture is airy and light from the whipped foam, with a strong coffee flavor balanced by sweetness. The method uses manual whisking or a hand mixer, with time varying from about 3 to 15 minutes depending on effort. The foam floats over the milk creating a layered look before mixing.
This coffee can be customized with add-ins like vanilla extract or caramel flavor. It is best consumed freshly prepared, although the whipped coffee can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week in an airtight container, requiring a quick remix before serving.
The recipe recommends instant coffee as the best base for whipping, advises against using fresh ground coffee, and discusses sweetener variations including options for keto diets. Adjusting the coffee to milk ratio alters strength.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons instant coffee powder or granulated
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar white or raw sugar
- 2 tablespoons water boiling
- 8 ounces milk any milk is fine
Instructions
- Combine the coffee, sugar and boiling water in a bowl. Stir with a spoon to combine and dissolve the sugar.
- Beat with a whisk or hand mixer to whip coffee, occasionally scraping down the sides of the bowl, until foamy and thick.
- To serve, fill a glass ¾ of the way up with milk will ice. Spoon the whipped coffee on top. Stir vigorously through the milk and enjoy!
Notes
- Manual whisking may take 8 to 15 minutes to form stiff peaks, while a hand mixer reduces this to 3 to 5 minutes.
- Use instant coffee or instant espresso powder; fresh ground coffee does not whip properly.
- For best texture and taste, use white granulated or raw sugar; some sweeteners like honey or agave do not whip well.
- Keto-friendly granulated sweeteners like Natvia, Swerve, or Monk Fruit can be used instead of sugar.
- The whipped coffee foam can be stored in the refrigerator up to 1 week in an airtight container but may require re-whisking before use.
- Adjust coffee strength by varying the ratio of whipped coffee to milk or by choosing the glass size.
- Add optional flavors like vanilla extract, caramel flavor, or powdered creamer to customize the taste.
- The coffee is strong until mixed into milk; stirring vigorously blends the layers.
