Description
South Korean dalgona coffee is whipped to perfection, with a sweet and strong coffee flavored foam on top of cold milk. It's like a reverse cappuccino! I've also got ideas to make this without coffee.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup instant coffee, 4 tbsp*
- 1/4 cup sugar, any kind, 4 tbsp
- 1/4 cup hot water, 4 tbsp
- 3 cups milk, of choice, about 700ml
Instructions
- Add equal parts hot water, sugar and instant coffee to a bowl. With a handheld mixer, mix on high speed for about 10 minutes, or until light and whipped to soft peaks. I see some recipes say between 2-4 minutes, so maybe this depends on your mixer. It will splash and make a mess if you don’t cover the bowl with your hand, while you mix it.
- Fill your favorite glass with milk, leaving about 1/2-1 inch (2 cm) at the top to fill with whipped coffee. If you want it extra cool, add ice to your glass before filling with milk, but I don’t find that necessary.
- To avoid just slurping whipped coffee first, and only milk later, we want to top the milk with coffee a certain way. Take a spoon and turn it up-side-down over the milk, then slowly pour the whipped dalgona coffee on top of the spoon and let the coffee run down slowly to top the milk. This way you get both whipped coffee and milk in one sip!
Notes
* You don't like coffee, or want to try something different: Switch the instant coffee out with either unsweetened cocoa powder or Thai milk tea (+ heavy cream as the water). To make 1 serving with matcha powder: Whip 1 egg white until frothy, add in 1 tbsp sugar and whip until semi-stiff peaks that clings to the whip. Add in 1 tsp matcha powder. Or try this Peppermint Eggnog Dalgona!
You can also use a variation, and add flavored extracts and even Baileys, rum or whiskey. Read blog post for more ideas.
