You knew that as a coffee fanatic I couldn’t possibly overlook the viral sensation currently sweeping social media…
I simply HAD to try it, especially since it looked so very much like my beloved Greek Frappé.
What is Dalgona coffee?
Dalgona coffee is a whipped coffee drink also known as Korean Coffee or Beaten Coffee. The drink went viral on South Korean YouTube then became a TikTok challenge before appearing across many Instagram feeds.
Dalgona is a Korean type of honeycomb candy (which the coffee foam sort of resembles) in case you were wondering!
Whipped Coffee Ingredients
This insanely easy recipe needs only three ingredients (see also my 3 Ingredient Banana Bread) used in 1:1:1 ratio.
- Instant coffee granules
- Sugar
- Hot water
These three ingredients are whipped until they become voluminous and creamy – you will be amazed how a liquid becomes a mousse the consistency of meringue (or shaving cream)!
The whipped coffee is then spooned over hot or cold milk – a sort of reverse latte.
How to make whipped coffee
I would advise you use two tablespoons of each ingredient as it is easier to whip them. I used a hand mixer but you can also use a coffee frother (much easier) or a balloon whisk if you are prepared to give your arm a bit of a workout!
Put the coffee granules and sugar in a small deep bowl. Add hot water (from a kettle) and stir together to combine.
Start whisking on the lowest speed setting (otherwise the coffee will splatter everywhere).
Increase the speed gradually as the coffee foams up and whip on maximum once soft peaks form. Continue until the coffee forms firm peaks a bit like meringue.
Fill a small glass with your choice of hot or cold milk and spoon the coffee over it. Voila! Your Dalgona Coffee is (instagram) ready.
Whipped Baileys Coffee
To make your coffee into a sort of iced coffee cocktail (Iced Irish Coffee?) all you have to do is…
Add your choice of cold milk into a mixing jug half filled with ice. Add Whiskey, Rum or Bourbon (we can’t be too picky at a time like this) and Baileys Irish Cream and a few drops vanilla extract. Give it a good stir.
Strain into two small glasses over ice filling about ¾ of the way up to allow space for the whipped coffee.
Spoon a generous amount of whipped coffee over the milk. Sprinkle with a grating of chocolate or a light dusting of ground cinnamon or nutmeg. Enjoy!!
Dalgona Coffee Tips and FAQs
Can I use espresso powder? Nope! You have to use instant coffee for this recipe to work. I used Nespresso but you can use any type you like as long as it is freeze dried instant.
Can I use sweetener instead of sugar? Yes you can use granulated sweetener, ideally one that is used at the same ratio as granulated sugar.
Can I use non dairy milk? You can use whatever type of milk you like either hot or cold and served over ice.
How do you drink whipped coffee? I used a straw to partially mix the coffee into the milk and then sip slowly. The coffee mousse itself is an intense caffeine hit which needs to be tempered with a bit of the milk.
