Dalgona Coffee, also known as whipped coffee, took the internet by storm with its creamy, frothy top and delightful taste. This recipe elevates your regular coffee experience into something truly special, perfect for a quick pick-me-up or a comforting treat.
Instant coffee is the star of the show here, providing the robust flavor and color needed for the whipped topping. Choose a brand you enjoy for the best results.
Granulated sugar not only sweetens the mixture but also helps stabilize the foam, ensuring a nice, thick consistency.
Hot water dissolves the coffee and sugar, allowing them to combine smoothly and whip into a frothy delight.
Milk (or your choice of milk alternative) serves as the creamy base that perfectly balances the strong coffee flavor. Whether you opt for dairy, almond, soy, or oat milk, each provides a unique twist.
Pair your Dalgona Coffee with a light breakfast, such as a buttery croissant or a fruit parfait. It also makes a delightful afternoon treat alongside a slice of cheesecake or a handful of nuts.
Start by grabbing a medium mixing bowl and adding in your instant coffee, granulated sugar, and hot water. Itβs important that the water is hot to help dissolve the sugar and coffee completely.
Now, it's time to whip it up. You can use a hand mixer for speed, or if youβre feeling energized, a whisk will do just fine. Beat the mixture vigorously until it becomes thick and creamy, forming stiff peaks. This should take about 3 to 5 minutes, so be patient; it will be worth it!
While your coffee mixture is thickening, prepare your serving glass. Fill it with your chosen milk, leaving about an inch of space at the top for the whipped coffee.
Once your coffee mixture is ready, gently spoon it over the milk. Youβll see it naturally form a lovely layered effect, which is part of the Dalgona coffee charm.
To enjoy, give it a good stir to blend all that creamy goodness with the milk, or if you prefer, sip through the layers to experience each flavor note separately.
