Whipped "Dalgona" Coffee Recipe

This Whipped "Dalgona" Coffee recipe creates a creamy, aerated coffee topping made by vigorously whisking instant coffee, sugar (or maple syrup), hot water, and optional vanilla. The resulting caramel-colored foam sits atop ice and milk, providing a visually appealing and rich-tasting coffee beverage. The light, fluffy texture contrasts with the smooth milk below, offering an enjoyable iced coffee treat.

Description

To make Whipped "Dalgona" Coffee, instant coffee, granulated sugar (or maple syrup as a substitute), vanilla extract, and hot water are combined in a bowl and whisked at medium-high speed until the mixture becomes light, fluffy, and caramel-colored. This process creates a stable foam from the sugar and instant coffee compounds.

The whipped coffee base is then spooned over a glass filled with ice and milk of choice. The foam floats on top, providing a thick, creamy layer that can be mixed before drinking. The texture is light and airy, with a bold coffee flavor balanced by the sweetness and creaminess of the milk.

This coffee can be served immediately, especially when using maple syrup, as it has a shorter foam stability. Using granulated sugar allows the whipped coffee to hold for several hours if refrigerated. Vanilla extract adds a subtle aroma but is optional. Non-dairy milk versions are suitable for vegan diets.

Ingredients

Servings
  • 2 Tbsp instant coffee
  • 2 Tbsp granulated sugar we used maple syrup *see notes, cane, white, brown, or coconut
  • 2 Tbsp water hot or boiling
  • 1/2 Tsp vanilla extract optional

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, add the instant coffee, Sugar (we used maple syrup), vanilla and hot/boiling water.
  2. Whisk on medium-high for 5-8 minutes, or until super fluffy and caramel-looking in color.
  3. To assemble the iced coffee, add ice and milk of choice to a cup.
  4. Top with whipped coffee and serve immediately. Alternatively, you can add ice over the whipped froth and pour the milk over it as seen in my video. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Only instant coffee works to create the whipped foam; other coffee types will not produce the desired texture.
  • If using maple syrup as the sweetener, serve the whipped coffee immediately since the foam dissipates quicker than with granulated sugar.
  • Granulated sugars such as white, cane, brown, or coconut sugar help the froth last longer if refrigerated for a few hours before serving.
  • Vanilla extract is optional and adds subtle flavor when included.
  • For a vegan version, use non-dairy milk such as coconut or almond milk.
  • Consider adding a dash of cinnamon for extra spiced aroma.
