    About Dalgona Coffee Recipe

    Dalgona coffee is a beverage made by whipping coffee with sugar and hot water until it becomes creamy and then adding it to chilled milk. The name Dalgona means honeycomb toffee candy.

    It was made popular by Jung Il-woo, a South Korean actor who visited Macau where he was served the drink, appeared on South Korean TV show called Pyunstorang ("Fun-Staurant"). 

    The beverage is also known as whipped coffee in India and very popular here before being viral on social media.

    Since it is trending and viral, i have to try it myself. This calls for coffee and sugar and a hand blender. Whip till fluffy and light. I was surprised to see the end result resembled so much like whipped cream.

    You can use it to decorate cakes too. Also cappuccino can be made using this when hot milk is added. I will soon share that version and share.

    Ingredients

    • Instant Coffee - Use good quality instant coffee powder which adds to the flavour of the coffee.
    • Sugar - granulated sugar is added to coffee and whipped till frothy. You can add more or less to your taste.
    • Hot Water - hot water helps with the whipping process.
    • Cold Milk - this is what used to make the beverage.

    Step by Step Pictures

    1)Take instant coffee powder in a bowl. I am using around 2 tablespoon of instant coffee powder.

    2)Now add in sugar. You can use powdered sugar. This is granulated sugar which is powdered in a blender. Powdered sugar blend easily with the coffee.

    3)Now add in boiling hot water which makes the sugar melt instantly and make a syrup like texture.

    4)Mix it lightly so sugar and coffee melts and become a thick syrup like.

    5)Now use an electric beater to whip some air into the mixture. Beat this till creamy, light and frothy.

    6)It is important to use an electric beater. Because whipping this with hand whisk is time consuming.

    7)You have to whip this till creamy and thick. Like whipped cream.

    8)Now it is thick and stiff just like whipped cream

    9)Now lets make dalgona coffee. Fill your cup with ice cubes.

    10)Pour in some cold milk. I sweetened my milk a little with some maple syrup. You can use almond milk, oat milk or any dairy free milk.

    11)Spoon some of the dalgona over the milk. It will float over the milk.

    12)Dust top with some cocoa powder or coffee.

    13) Mix and enjoy.


    Expert Tips

    • You can add more sugar to the coffee if needed.
    • You can store this whipped coffee in fridge in an air tight container.
    • Add hot milk instead of cold milk to make cappuccino.
    • You can sweeten the milk with condensed milk or sugar as per your need.
