Print Recipe

Dalgona Coffee is a viral whipped coffee treat featuring a creamy, frothy coffee foam made by whipping equal parts instant coffee, sugar, and hot water, served over cold or warm milk. This easy, customizable recipe transforms everyday ingredients into a luscious café-style beverage with a rich coffee flavor and an airy texture, perfect for any time of day.

Ingredients

Scale

For Whipped Coffee Foam

  • 2 tablespoons instant coffee granules
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons hot water

For the Base

  • Milk (cold or warm) – about 1 cup, dairy or plant-based alternative

Instructions

  1. Combine the Coffee, Sugar, and Hot Water: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add 2 tablespoons each of instant coffee, granulated sugar, and hot water. The hot water helps dissolve the coffee granules and sugar, setting the base for whipping.
  2. Whip until Fluffy and Light: Using a hand mixer or a sturdy whisk, beat the mixture vigorously for about 3 to 5 minutes with an electric mixer or up to 10 minutes by hand, until it transforms into a thick, glossy foam that holds stiff peaks.
  3. Prepare Your Glass with Milk: Pour about half a cup to one cup of cold or warm milk into a serving glass, depending on your preference. This milk acts as the smooth base for the coffee foam.
  4. Spoon the Whipped Coffee on Top: Gently scoop and spread the whipped coffee foam evenly over the surface of the milk, creating a layered, visually appealing appearance.
  5. Stir and Enjoy: When ready, mix the whipped foam into the milk to blend the creamy coffee richness with the smooth base, then savor your delicious Dalgona Coffee.

Notes

  • Use fine instant coffee granules for best whipping results; coarser types may not whip properly.
  • Whisking in a cold bowl can help stabilize the foam faster and create better volume.
  • Maintain equal ratios of coffee, sugar, and water to ensure the perfect consistency for whipping.
  • Stick to granulated sugar for the best foam stability; powdered sugar can produce a looser foam.
  • If whisking by hand, take breaks to avoid fatigue and keep whipping efficiently for fluffy peaks.
