Introduction

Dalgona Whipped Coffee is a trendy, creamy drink that combines instant coffee, sugar, and hot water whipped into a frothy topping over chilled milk. It’s an easy and delicious way to enjoy a café-style coffee at home.

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp instant coffee
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 2 tbsp hot water
• 1 1/2 cups milk
• Ice cubes

Instructions

1. Step 1: Fill a 2 cup mason jar or glass with ice cubes, then pour in the milk.
2. Step 2: In a medium-sized bowl, combine instant coffee, sugar, and hot water.
3. Step 3: Whip the mixture vigorously until it becomes thick and frothy. This can take about 3-5 minutes by hand or 1-2 minutes with an electric mixer.
4. Step 4: Spoon the whipped coffee on top of the iced milk.
5. Step 5: Serve with a straw, stir the layers together before drinking, and enjoy!

Tips & Variations

• Use sweetened condensed milk instead of sugar for a creamier, sweeter topping.
• Try using almond, oat, or soy milk for a dairy-free version.
• If you prefer a less strong coffee flavor, reduce the instant coffee to 1 tablespoon.
• Chill the bowl and whisk before whipping to help the coffee froth up faster.

Storage

Whipped coffee is best enjoyed immediately for maximum frothiness. If you have leftovers, store the whipped coffee in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day; it may lose some volume and texture. Milk can be stored as usual in the fridge for up to 3 days once combined.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use regular brewed coffee instead of instant coffee?

No, whipped coffee requires instant coffee granules to create the thick foamy texture. Regular brewed coffee will not whip up properly.

How do I make the whipped coffee without an electric mixer?

You can whisk the coffee, sugar, and hot water vigorously by hand using a balloon whisk. It takes more time (about 5 minutes), but it will eventually thicken into a frothy foam.
