Ingredients
For the Whipped Coffee:
-
2 tbsp instant coffee granules
-
2 tbsp granulated sugar
-
2 tbsp hot water
For Serving:
-
1 cup cold milk (any type: whole, almond, oat, etc.)
-
Ice cubes
Instructions
Step 1: Whip the Coffee Mixture
-
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the instant coffee, granulated sugar, and hot water.
-
Using a hand mixer or a strong whisk, beat the mixture vigorously for about 2–5 minutes until it turns light brown, thick, and forms stiff peaks.
-
If whipping by hand, it may take a bit longer, but the fluffy texture is worth it!
Step 2: Prepare the Milk Base
-
Fill a glass with ice cubes.
-
Pour the cold milk over the ice, leaving a little room at the top for the whipped coffee.
Step 3: Assemble the Dalgona Coffee
-
Spoon the fluffy whipped coffee mixture gently on top of the milk.
-
Use a spoon or straw to swirl the layers slightly if you like, or leave it beautifully layered.
Step 4: Serve and Enjoy
-
Serve with a straw or a long spoon.
-
Stir the whipped coffee into the milk before drinking for the perfect creamy blend.
Notes
Use Instant Coffee – Regular ground coffee won’t whip properly.
Hot Water is Key – Hot water helps the coffee and sugar dissolve and whip faster.
Whisk Until Thick – Look for stiff peaks; the mixture should hold its shape.
Sweetness Level – Adjust the sugar to make it more or less sweet based on your preference.
Experiment with Milk – Try different kinds of milk for unique flavors (almond milk, oat milk, etc.).
