Ingredients and Substitutions Overview
- Instant Coffee Powder: This is the key to that fluffy, creamy coffee we're aiming for. I've tried both instant coffee powder and granules, and they work great. For those who like a bolder flavor, instant espresso is an option, though it's stronger. Just a heads up: regular ground coffee or coffee from bags won't give you the same results.
- White Sugar: I've gone with white sugar to get that perfect whip, but feel free to experiment with raw, brown, or coconut sugar if you like.
- Hot Water: Using hot water speeds up the whipping process, so it's my top tip for saving a bit of time.
- Milk: I've used cold whole cow's milk, but if you're looking for a vegan option, almond milk, oat milk, or cashew milk are great choices. And if you're in the mood for something warm, just swap in hot milk.

Whipped Coffee (Dalgona Coffee)
Ingredients
- 2 tsp Instant Coffee Granules, or Instant Coffee Powder
- 2 tsp Sugar
- 2 tsp Warm Water
- ½ cup Milk
Instructions
Making Whipped Coffee (Dalgona Coffee)
- Find a large glass bowl and add in your instant coffee granules or powder, sugar, and warm water. The warmth of the water is key here, as it helps dissolve the coffee and sugar more effectively, setting the stage for a perfect whip.
- Now, it's time to get whisking. You can use a hand whisk, but an electric beater will make the job easier and faster. Aim for about 7 to 10 minutes of beating. What you're looking for is a light and airy consistency, with stiff peaks just like whipped cream. This is when you know your coffee mixture is ready.
- Now, gently pour cold or warm milk into your chosen glass. Carefully spoon the whipped coffee on top, creating a beautiful layer. Your delightful dalgona coffee is now ready for you to enjoy its rich and creamy taste.
Serving
- Enjoy this whipped coffee as a luxurious start to your day or as a delightful snack-time treat.

Chef's Notes and Tips
- Proportions: Keep it even – equal parts coffee, sugar, and water for that ideal creamy fluff. If you like it sweeter, add a bit more sweetness to your milk.
- Consistent Speed: When whipping, maintain a consistent speed for even fluffiness. This ensures the mixture aerates properly for that perfect creamy texture.
- Whipping Tools: An electric hand beater is your best friend for quick results, but a hand whisk will do the trick too. Just steer clear of spoons or forks, as they'll make the job tougher and longer.
- Whipping Bowl: Use a wide bowl to whip your coffee; it helps air move better and makes whipping easier. Small bowls or mugs could slow you down.
- Customize Your Sweetness: Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less sugar to the coffee mixture, or consider sweetening your milk if you prefer a subtly sweet drink without altering the coffee's texture.
- Experiment with Flavors: Add a dash of cinnamon, cocoa powder, or vanilla extract to the coffee mixture for a personalized flavor twist.
- Add Toppings: Elevate your whipped coffee by topping it with chocolate shavings, nuts, or crushed cookies for an added burst of flavor and texture.
- Chill Your Serving Glass: If you're going for a cold version, chilling your glass beforehand can keep your drink cooler for longer and add an extra refreshing touch.
