Description
This whipped coffee, also known as Dalgona coffee, is a luxurious, café-style drink made with instant coffee, sugar, and hot water, whipped into a creamy foam and served over milk. It’s easy to make, fully customizable, and perfect hot or iced.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons instant coffee (medium or dark roast preferred)
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (or coconut sugar)
- 2 tablespoons boiling water
- 1 cup milk of choice (dairy or plant-based)
- Ice cubes (optional, for iced version)
- Pinch of ground cinnamon or cocoa powder (optional for garnish)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the instant coffee, sugar, and boiling water.
- Whip using a hand mixer or stand mixer on high speed for 2 to 5 minutes, until thick and fluffy.
- Fill a glass with milk — cold with ice or warmed for a hot version.
- Spoon the whipped coffee mixture over the milk to create a layered drink.
- Stir before drinking or sip in layers for contrasting textures.
Notes
- Use instant coffee only; ground coffee does not whip properly.
- Whipping by hand is possible but takes 10–15 minutes.
- Plant-based milks like almond, oat, and soy work well for a vegan version.
- The foam can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days in an airtight container.
- Add cinnamon, cocoa powder, or nutmeg for extra flavor.
