Dalgona Coffee Whipped Drink (Printer-friendly)
Silky whipped coffee foam spooned over cold milk for a quick, striking café-style drink.
# What You Need:
→ Whipped Coffee Topping
01 - 2 tablespoons instant coffee granules
02 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
03 - 2 tablespoons hot water
→ Assembly
04 - 2 cups cold milk (dairy or non-dairy alternative)
05 - Ice cubes (optional)
# How to Make It:
01 - In a medium mixing bowl, combine the instant coffee granules, granulated sugar, and hot water.
02 - Using a hand whisk, electric mixer, or milk frother, vigorously whisk the mixture for 2 to 4 minutes until it becomes light, frothy, and forms soft peaks.
03 - Fill two glasses with ice cubes if desired, then pour in the cold milk.
04 - Gently spoon the whipped coffee over the milk, swirling for a layered effect. Serve immediately and stir the whipped coffee into the milk before drinking.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- The foam is genuinely fun to make, and watching it whip up feels like a small kitchen magic trick you will want to show everyone.
- It turns three basic pantry ingredients into something that looks like it came from an expensive cafe.
02 -
- Cutting the sugar below one tablespoon will make the foam collapse much faster because sugar is what holds the bubbles together.
- A hand whisk takes longer and will test your patience, but an electric mixer on medium speed gets you there in about two minutes flat.
03 -
- The foam is done when it holds its shape and you can flip the bowl upside down without it falling out, which is a strangely satisfying test to perform.
- Make sure your water is genuinely hot, not just warm, because cooler water leaves gritty undissolved bits that never whip properly.
