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:

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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!
