Dalgona coffee is a trendy whipped coffee beverage made by vigorously whisking instant coffee, sugar, and water until a creamy, frothy foam forms, which is then served atop hot milk or a plant-based alternative. This simple yet delightful drink is perfect for a quick coffee treat at home.

Ingredients

Whipped Coffee

  • 2 teaspoons instant soluble coffee
  • 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons water

To Serve

  • 1 cup hot milk or plant-based drink

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Place the instant coffee, granulated sugar, and water in a mixing bowl.
  2. Whisk Mixture: Using an electric mixer or milk frother, whisk the ingredients at high speed for 1 to 2 minutes until the mixture becomes a smooth and firm coffee foam.
  3. Prepare Serving: Pour hot milk or your preferred plant-based drink into a cup.
  4. Top and Serve: Spoon the whipped coffee foam over the hot milk and enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • Use instant coffee for best frothing results; ground coffee will not work.
  • Adjust sugar to taste for a sweeter or less sweet foam.
  • For a cold version, use cold milk and serve over ice.
  • The foam can be made manually with a whisk, but it will take longer than using an electric mixer.
  • Plant-based milks like almond, oat, or soy can be used as dairy alternatives.
