Get the Recipe: Creamy & Light Dalgona Coffee Recipe
Dalgona coffee is a whipped, frothy iced coffee drink made with instant coffee, sugar, water, and milk. Also known as whipped coffee, frothy coffee, or fluffy coffee, dalgona coffee has two distinct layers made from whipped coffee cream sitting on top of iced milk. It's crazy fun and easy to make at home, too!
Ingredients
For the Dalgona Coffee
- 2 Tablespoons instant coffee granules
- 2 Tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 Tablespoons hot (freshly boiled) water
- ½ cup ice
- 1 cup (8 ounces or 227 grams) cow or plant-based milk of your choice
- cocoa powder, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
For the Dalgona Coffee
- First, make the dalgona coffee cream. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment (or a medium bowl if using a whisk, handheld electric mixer, or milk frother), combine the coffee and sugar. Add the hot water and immediately whisk on medium-high speed until light, airy, and doubled in volume, 2 to 4 minutes.
- Serve immediately. Pour the milk over the ice in a tall glass. Use a rubber spatula or cookie dough scoop to scrape the dalgona coffee cream over the milk. Garnish with a dusting of cocoa powder. Serve immediately with a straw.
