How to Make this Dalgona Whipped Coffee Recipe
1. In a medium bowl, mix the ingredients
1. instant coffee
2. granulated sugar
3. hot water.
2. Beat the concoction until it forms stiff peaks and is thick enough to hold its shape. Use a hand mixer or a whisk for best results; in a very few instances, the speed with which you mix may cause the yolks to thicken and foam. If that happens, stop the mixer!
3. If desired, fill a glass with ice cubes.
4. Fill a glass with your desired milk, but don’t fill it all the way to the top.
5. Spoon the whipped coffee mixture onto the milk very carefully.
6. If preferred, use a spoon or straw to gently mix the whipped coffee into the milk.
7. Serve now and savor this delightful Dalgona Whipped Coffee.
8. You can optionally sprinkle a bit of cocoa powder or cinnamon on top for extra flavor.
9. To make it sweeter, you can stir in some sugar or syrup after you have poured the milk into the glass but before you have poured in the whipped coffee. The milk, now sweetened, is ready to receive the fluffy, cappuccino-like topping.
10. If your whipped coffee turns out too thick, just add a little more hot water to it and mix it in. That will get you back to the right consistency. If you want to avoid the potential for overthickening, follow the hot water guidelines above, and know that the ingredients will whip to a foam that’s quite stable.

FAQ
- What type of coffee works best for Dalgona Whipped Coffee?Instant coffee is perfect because it dissolves instantly and produces the desired fluffy texture. You can’t use ground coffee because it doesn’t dissolve.
- Can I use a sugar substitute?Certainly, you can utilize substitutes like stevia or monk fruit sweetener; however, this may cause a slight alteration in texture.
- What if my whipped coffee isn’t thickening?Make certain that you use equal parts instant coffee, sugar, and hot water. Whip with either a hand whisk or electric mixer for best results.
- How should I serve Dalgona Coffee?Pour the coffee that has been whipped into a frothy, creamy state over a glass filled with milk and ice. Then, mix it all together before drinking. Inhale the aroma. Kahlua in a glass. That’s the first part. The coffee isn’t in there yet.
- Is Dalgona Coffee served hot or cold?It is usually served chilled atop iced milk, but for a more soothing drink, you can ladle the Goya over warm milk.
- Can I prepare the whipped coffee in advance?You can certainly keep it in the fridge for a few days. Before serving, whip it again slightly to give it a fresher texture.
Dalgona Whipped Coffee Recipe Substitutions and Variations
2 tablespoons of instant coffee: You can use 2 tablespoons of instant espresso powder for a flavor more reminiscent of fresh-brewed coffee.
2 tablespoons granulated sugar. Substitute with 2 tablespoons of brown sugar or 2 tablespoons of coconut sugar for a different profile of sweetness.
1 cup milk of choice: Use 1 cup of almond milk, oat milk, or any kind of plant-based milk to make it dairy-free.
Coffee ice cubes: You can use them to intensify the coffee flavor without watering it down.
Pro Tips
1. Chill the Bowl and Whisk: To achieve the perfect whipped texture more quickly and easily, place your mixing bowl and whisk or beaters in the freezer for about 10-15 minutes before you start whipping the coffee mixture. This will help the mixture reach stiff peaks faster.
2. Use Freshly Boiled Water: Ensure the water you’re using is freshly boiled. The heat helps dissolve the coffee and sugar more thoroughly, leading to a smoother and more voluminous whip.
3. Adjust Sweetness to Taste: Before whipping, taste the coffee mixture for sweetness. If you prefer it sweeter, you can add an extra teaspoon of sugar. Remember that once whipped, the mixture becomes more airy, which might change the perception of sweetness.
4. Try Different Milk Options: Experiment with different types of milk, such as almond, oat, or coconut, to find the flavor that best complements the whipped coffee. Each type of milk will impart its distinctive taste.
5. Flavor Infusion: For an added layer of flavor, consider infusing your milk with a splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of flavored syrup before pouring it into the glass. This will enhance the overall taste and make the drink more aromatic.
