Learn how to make one week’s worth of the viral whipped dalgona coffee (and the frozen version) in one go with ONLY 3 INGREDIENTS!
Dalgona coffee – a type of coffee we would have never been familiarised with if it weren’t for the global lockdown in 2020. Dalgona coffee is a type of coffee from South Korea that was popularised on social media in the middle of a pandemic – it’s so easy to make at home and tastes as good as it looks!
The name “dalgona” refers to a traditional Korean candy, known for its honeycomb texture, which resembles the whipped coffee’s frothy appearance. The drink itself is believed to have roots in a similar whipped coffee called “beaten coffee” that has been enjoyed in other countries, like India, for years.
Recently, I’ve even seen something similar known as Greek Frappe that has the same concept of whipping coffee until it becomes frothy and serving it over milk.
The best part is that I’m not an avid coffee drinker but I found this drink super fun to make and drink. It also only requires three ingredients – instant coffee granules, sweetener and water. You can then go ahead and FREEZE it to make frozen whipped coffee over the week!
Ingredients You Need
- instant coffee – you can jazz it up with flavoured instant coffee as well. I used a vanilla flavoured coffee in this recipe!
- sweetener – the original recipe uses sugar but I’ve used agave syrup here that worked wonderfully as well! You can also use maple syrup for a refined sugar-free alternative
- water – make sure your water is very hot.
Whipped Dalgona Coffee
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup instant coffee flavoured ones work too!
- 1/2 cup sugar/agave syrup/maple syrup
- 1/2 cup hot water
- oat milk
- ice cubes
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the instant coffee, sugar, and hot water.
- Using a hand mixer or whisk, beat the mixture until it becomes light, fluffy, and forms stiff peaks (about 4-5 minutes)!
- Transfer the whip to a glass container and freeze overnight. Keep the remaining whip to make regular dalgona coffee.
- In a glass, add ice cubes. Pour in the milk, leaving some space at the top. Spoon the whipped coffee mixture on top of the milk.
- Before drinking, mix the whipped coffee into the milk.
- Scoop 1-2 scoops of frozen coffee into a glass with ice. Pour in the milk and give it a good mix to make frozen dalgona whipped coffee. Enjoy!
