Dalgona Coffee Recipe

Homemade Dalgona Coffee

The Dalgona Coffee is a type of cappuccino that has conquered the world. Originating from South Korea, this drink can be enjoyed hot or iced. It’s a whipped coffee prepared with only three ingredients, then mixed with milk. The result is a frothy drink that has become a true viral phenomenon on social media.

This trend has particularly gained buzz on TikTok. Dalgona Coffee, this frothy and airy coffee, was propelled in South Korea during lockdown.

As a big coffee lover, I was intrigued by this new trend and wanted to give it a try. It’s amazing to see that with just three ingredients, coffee, water, and sugar in equal parts, you can create a cream as dense and airy as whipped cream. Cappuccino lovers or fans of Starbucks’ macchiato, you’ll be won over!

Easy Dalgona Coffee

I’m proposing three drinks to make with Dalgona Coffee: a frothy, machine-free, and economical coffee for a pure moment of pleasure.

After posting the recipe video on YouTube, I received several questions which I answer below.

Can any type of coffee be used?
No, you absolutely need instant coffee (soluble coffee). The brand doesn’t matter much.

 Can instant cappuccino be used?
I don’t know, I haven’t tried it yet. If it already contains powdered milk, it probably won’t work.

Can it be made without sugar or with reduced sugar?
Yes, I tried it without sugar, and the foam did form, but not as well as with sugar. The taste is very bitter, so I wouldn’t recommend it unless you enjoy the bitterness of coffee. However, you can reduce the amount of sugar according to your preferences.

Can a manual whisk be used?
Yes, absolutely, but it takes some endurance! It’s like whipping egg whites, though a bit less tiring.

 Can the Dalgona Coffee foam be stored in the refrigerator?
Yes, it can be stored covered for up to 3 days in the refrigerator. Beyond that, it starts to release water.
