Dalgona Coffee Recipe (Korean Whipped Coffee)

Dalgona Coffee is a creamy whipped coffee made by beating instant coffee, sugar and hot water until thick and fluffy. The whipped coffee is spooned over chilled or hot milk and stirred before drinking. My recipe uses a balanced proportion for a milder coffee flavor that is not overly bitter. Make it by hand with a wired whisk or use an electric hand mixer for quicker results.

Instructions

Whipping Coffee Mixture

Take coffee, sugar and hot boiling water in a mixing bowl.
Using a small whisk begin to whip and beat till the mixture is creamy and thick.
Use two ways of beating the coffee. First beat clockwise and then use vertical zig-zag motions. Alternate between the two. If the bowl is small, then slightly tilt the bowl and beat.
To whip, can also use a small blender or mixer-grinder or a hand-held mixer (which is used for whipping cream or making cake batter).

Making Dalgona Coffee

Add 2 to 3 ice cubes in a mug or glass.
Divide 1.5 cups of milk between both the glasses.
Now divide the whipped coffee equally in the two glasses.
Sprinkle some cocoa powder on the coffee (optional). Serve.

Notes

Use instant coffee only.
To make hot whipped coffee, swap the cold milk with hot milk.
You can add more sugar if you prefer.
