Ingredients for Whipped Coffee (Dalgona Coffee)

Instant coffee granules are the star here, creating that beloved frothy layer. Choose a brand you like, as its flavor will shine through. Granulated sugar not only sweetens the coffee but also helps stabilize the foam, giving it structure. Hot water is essential to dissolve the coffee and sugar, setting the stage for whipping the mixture into peaks. Finally, milk provides a creamy base, balancing the strong coffee flavor. Whether you prefer hot or cold milk, it’s all up to your personal taste.

Tips & Tricks

  • For a stronger coffee flavor, use espresso powder instead of regular instant coffee.
  • If you’re whisking by hand, try using a large whisk and a steady, quick motion to speed up the process.
  • Adjust the sugar level to your taste preference. You can experiment with less or more depending on how sweet you want your coffee.

Serving Suggestions

This whipped coffee pairs beautifully with a warm, buttery croissant or a light, fruity pastry. For a refreshing twist, try serving it over iced milk on a warm day. If you’re indulging in the evening, consider adding a splash of coffee liqueur for an adult version of this treat.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use regular coffee instead of instant?
Unfortunately, no. Instant coffee is necessary for achieving the thick, frothy texture.
How long does the whipped coffee stay frothy?
It’s best enjoyed immediately, as the foam will start to deflate after a while.
Can I make this in advance?
The whipped coffee itself is best made fresh, but you can prepare the milk in advance if you’re planning to serve it cold.

Whipped Coffee (Dalgona Coffee) Recipe Walkthrough

Start by grabbing a medium-sized mixing bowl and add 2 tablespoons of instant coffee granules, 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, and 2 tablespoons of hot water. These three ingredients form the base of your whipped coffee. Now, take your handheld mixer or a whisk and begin beating the mixture. If you're using an electric mixer, set it on a medium speed. This process should take about 3 to 5 minutes. You're aiming for stiff peaks, and you'll see the mixture transform from a dark liquid into a light, fluffy foam.

While your coffee is whipping up, prepare your serving glass. Pour in your milk of choice, either hot or cold, filling the glass about three-quarters full. This leaves room for the luscious coffee foam you're about to add. Once your coffee mixture has reached the desired consistency, gently spoon it over the milk, creating a thick, attractive layer on top.

And there you have it! Your Whipped Coffee is ready to serve. Before you dive in, give it a good stir to mix the frothy coffee with the milk, ensuring every sip is perfectly balanced.
