How to Make Dalgona Whipped Coffee
This is a super easy drink to make. Simply combine 1 tablespoon each instant coffee, granulated sugar, and water.
Whisk or mix in a mixer (much easier) until the mixture turns golden brown and has the consistency of whipped cream, forming stiff peaks.
It’s actually really fascinating to see it transform!
To serve it cold, pour over cold milk. Drink as is or blend it together for a latte-like drink.
You can also serve this with warm milk but the fluffy bits won’t last as long.
FAQs about Dalgona
Can I mix dalgona by hand?
yes, you can hand-whisk dalgona but be prepared to put your arms to work. It takes about 10 minutes to whisk by hand. It is helpful to whisk in multiple directions rather than just in circles, try side to side as well.
What kind of sugar can I use to make dalgona?
You can use any granulated sugar-white, brown, coconut, or raw sugar all works. Even sweetener replacements work as long as they are granulated.
Can I make dalgona without sugar?
Yes, you can make dalgona with no sugar but it will not last as long, it dissolves much more quickly in the milk without the sugar.
Can I make it with decaf coffee?
Yes! You can use either caffinated or decaf coffee as long as it is Instant Coffee.
