Description
Whipped coffee, also known as Dalgona coffee, is a creamy and frothy café-style drink made by whipping instant coffee, sugar, and hot water into a thick foam, then serving it over milk. This quick and easy recipe creates a rich coffee flavor with a smooth, fluffy texture that can be enjoyed hot or iced.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons instant coffee granules
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons very hot water
- 1 cup milk, cold or warm
- 1/2 cup ice cubes (optional for iced coffee)
- 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- Add the instant coffee, sugar, and hot water to a medium mixing bowl.
- Using a hand mixer, beat the mixture on medium-high speed for 2 to 4 minutes until thick, glossy, light, and fluffy.
- Scrape the sides of the bowl once or twice during mixing so everything whips evenly.
- Fill a serving glass with ice cubes if making iced coffee.
- Pour the milk into the glass.
- Spoon the whipped coffee mixture over the milk.
- Sprinkle with cinnamon if desired and serve immediately.
- Stir thoroughly before drinking so the coffee foam blends smoothly into the milk.
Notes
- Instant coffee is required for the foam to whip properly.
- Reduce the sugar slightly for a less sweet drink, though the foam may become less stable.
- Oat milk, almond milk, soy milk, or dairy milk all work well.
- Serve immediately for the fluffiest texture.
- For a hot version, warm the milk before adding the whipped coffee.
