Description
Dalgona Whipped Coffee is a trendy, frothy drink made with just four simple ingredients: instant coffee, sugar, hot water, and milk. Originating from Korea and popularized globally, this creamy coffee beverage is whipped to a fluffy texture and served over milk, offering a beautifully layered and delicious treat that can be made in minutes.
Ingredients
Whipped Coffee Mixture
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons instant coffee or espresso powder
- 3 tablespoons hot water
For Serving
- Milk (amount as desired, typically 1 cup)
- ⅛ teaspoon flavor extract (optional; such as vanilla or caramel)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a mason jar or medium bowl, add the sugar, instant coffee, and hot water together.
- Whip Mixture: Using a handheld mixer fitted with one beater, beat the mixture vigorously for about 2 minutes or until it becomes pale, thick, and fluffy. The texture should be light and foamy.
- Prepare Milk: Pour milk into a glass. If desired, add the optional flavor extract to the milk and stir well to combine.
- Assemble Drink: Spoon the whipped coffee mixture on top of the prepared milk. Serve immediately and stir before drinking to enjoy the rich, creamy coffee flavor.
Notes
- Use instant coffee or espresso powder for best results as ground coffee does not whip effectively.
- Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of sugar to your taste.
- You can use any type of milk – dairy or plant-based – depending on your preference.
- Whipping by hand with a whisk is possible but will take longer and require more effort.
- Flavor extracts like vanilla or caramel enhance the drink but are optional.
