Viral Dalgona Coffee Recipe – Easy Whipped Coffee at Home
Sometimes, the simplest pleasures are the most rewarding. In the midst of staying home, I stumbled upon a gem: Dalgona coffee. This whipped coffee has taken the internet by storm, and it’s easy to see why. With just three ingredients, you can create a coffee experience that’s both delightful and satisfying.
There’s no need to step into a Cafe when you have instant coffee, sugar, and milk at your fingertips. Whipping these humble ingredients together transforms them into a velvety, frothy treat that sits elegantly atop a glass of iced milk. It’s a small act of creation that brings a touch of joy to any day spent at home. So, here’s to making something simple yet extraordinary, right in your own kitchen.
Ingredients:
- 2 tbsp instant coffee
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 2 tbsp very hot water
- 2 glasses milk with ice cubes
How to Make Dalgona Coffee:
- Bring a small pot of water to a boil. While the water is coming to a boil, make the dalgona coffee fluff: In a bowl, mix together the instant coffee and sugar.
- Once the water comes to a boil, carefully add 2 tablespoons of the hot water to the coffee-sugar mix and whisk or use a hand mixer to whip until light and frothy.
- Fill two glasses with ice and pour in the milk. Top the glasses with equal amounts of the fluffy coffee. Stir thoroughly before enjoying!
Helpful Hints:
- For a non-caffeinated version, use decaf instant coffee.
- Adjust the sweetness to your liking by varying the amount of sugar.
- Try different milk options like almond, soy, or oat milk for a unique twist.
- Use a hand mixer or whisk for best results in achieving a fluffy texture
Perfect Pairings
Dalgona coffee goes perfectly with some delightful desserts. Here are a few you might enjoy:
- Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies: The nutty flavor of brown butter and melty chocolate chips create a rich, indulgent cookie that pairs wonderfully with the smooth, frothy dalgona coffee.
- Coconut Macaroons: These chewy, sweet coconut macaroons offer a delightful contrast to the creamy and slightly bitter notes of dalgona coffee.
These desserts not only enhance the coffee experience but also make for a delightful treat any time of the day. Enjoy!
