It’s pretty, it tastes good, and it’s probably the best way to to spend some time while you’re at home during the stay home covid campaign.\nThe best part about it is that you only need three ingredients, two of which you probably already have at home so that means no need to put in a delivery order or go to the grocery store. If you have instant coffee, sugar, and milk, you’re fluffy coffee ready. It’s super simple: mix equal parts coffee, sugar, and hot water, then whip until it turns into a luxe and silky thick creamy foam. Spoon it on to some iced milk (which is literally just milk with ice in it) then enjoy, no Starbucks run needed.\nDalgona coffee, fluffy coffee, frothy coffee, whipped coffee – whatever you want to call it, here are all your questions answered right here!\nWhat is dalgona coffee?\nDalgona coffee is a whipped frothy coffee that’s made from instant coffee and sugar, then put on milk. It’s called dalgona because the fluffy creamy coffee looks like dalgona candy, a candy from South Korea that’s just like honeycomb toffee or sponge toffee. You’ve probably eaten honeycomb toffee before, covered in chocolate. I haven’t had it in years but it’s good.\nWhat about whipped coffee?\nWhipped coffee is what they call dalgona coffee on Tiktok! They also call it Tiktok coffee, frappe coffee, beaten coffee, hand beaten coffee, and a myriad of other names.\nDalgona coffee’s origin:\nThe popularity of dalgona coffee mostly stems from South Korea where it started trending because of social distancing\/isolation. Everyone was stuck at home and Instagramming their daily lives and dalgona coffee caught on, probably because you don’t need much to make it and it’s really cute. Whipped coffee exists elsewhere in the world too – apparently it came to the Korea consciousness via a big Korean actor discovering it in Macau, but they also have it in India and Pakistan. Apparently it comes from Greece where a Nescafé guy figured out that instant Nescafé whips up nice. They call it frappe!\nHow to make dalgona coffee\nBoil.\nYou need just off the boil hot water to instantly melt your coffee crystals. Just bring a small pot of water to a boil.\nMix.\nIn a bowl, stir together equal parts instant coffee and sugar.\nFluff.\nWhen the water has come to a boil, immediately add the water to the bowl of coffee and sugar and start to whip. Use a whisk or hand mixer to whip until light, frothy, and thick.\nPour.\nFill a glass (or two) with ice and pour in cold milk.\nTop.\nTop the glasses of milk with the fluffy dalgona coffee. Stir and enjoy!\nWhipped coffee ingredients\nInstant Coffee:\n You want granulated instant coffee crystals without any add-ins or flavors. Some people have reported a certain brand or another not working. I keep it simple and use\nNescafe Clasico Instant Coffee.\nSweetener:\nI use sugar here, but you can use any you want, including stevia in the raw, splenda, or something else. It’s really bitter without a sweetener though (duh) so you should definitely include this. The sugar also helps the fluffy coffee part stay fluffy.\nMilk:\nAny milk is good! I use 2% here. You can substitute your favorite milk: almond milk, soy milk, oat milk. It’s the biggest part of the drink so make sure it’s a milk you like!\nDo I have to use instant coffee?\nYes, it has to be instant coffee. There’s something about instant coffee crystals that creates the right frothy texture to whip up. You can use decaf too if you’re sensitive to caffeine – I’m pretty sure it’ll froth up the same way but I can’t guarantee it because we don’t have any decaf instant coffee at home. I used Nescafé – apparently Nescafé are the ones who invented frappe coffee so it’ll definitely work the best, but I have a friend who made it successfully with both Maxwell House and Starbucks instant espresso (although the espresso wasn’t as frothy).\nCan you make dalgona coffee without sugar?\nShort answer, yes. Long answer, not really? The sugar really helps the instant coffee whip to a fluffy meringue-like texture that holds its shape for a while. But, I’ve also made it using stevia in the raw and that worked too (I assume other granulated sweeteners will as well), but it wasn’t as fluffy. If you’re really sensitive to sugar, you can reduce it down, just know that your fluff won’t be as fluffy.\nDo I have to use a hand mixer?\nYou can use your arm muscles and a whisk, like I did. It didn’t take long at all, but maybe I have a lot of experience whipping cream and meringues. If you have a hand mixer, stand mixer, frother, or whisk you can make dalgona coffee.\nI use this milk frother and it works amazingly.\nWhat kind of milk can I use in dalgona coffee?\nYou can use any kind of milk or milk substitute you like: almond milk, oat milk, soy milk, coconut milk, rice milk, cashew milk, macadamia milk, essentially any milk that has a creamy mouth feel.\nHot Milk vs Cold Milk Dalgona Coffee\nYou can use hot milk or iced\/cold, it’s up to you! I went with iced because it makes the milk go farther and I need to stretch out my milk for as long as possible because I’m literally frightened to go to the grocery store. You can also use evaporated milk (which comes in cans, perfect!), either watered down a bit or not.\nWhat does dalgona coffee taste like?\nIt’s velvety and creamy and full of sweet coffee flavor. Kind of a like a non-icy frappuccino. It’s full of strong coffee flavors and pretty darn sweet. But if you’re not so concerned about getting that picture perfect fluffy cap, you can ease up on the amount of fluffy coffee you put on top of your milk.\nHope you guys give this a try. I absolutely loved it when I made it with just 1 teaspoon of coffee and 1 teaspoon of sugar. As long as you go with equal parts coffee, sugar, and water, you can make the fluffy coffee of your dreams. In the recipe below I kept it at 2 tablespoons of each and made 2 coffees, but feel free to adjust as needed.\nWhy won’t my whipped coffee whip?\nI’ve been getting lots of comments asking why won’t the coffee fluff up. I have two tips for you guys:\nMake sure your have enough volume. Having a small amount of anything makes it more difficult to whip because you have to work that much harder to whip the air into a tiny amount of volume. If you’re having difficulty whipping, try doubling the recipe, which will most likely help. Also, don’t use too big of a bowl.\nUse very hot water which will help dissolve the coffee and sugar instantly. Having the sugar fully dissolved will help the mixture froth up more.\nOther Frequently Asked Questions:\nWhat is the best equipment for whipped coffee?\nHand Held Electric Mixer\n– This is probably the easiest way because you can press your whisks right up against the mixture and you don’t need to use any arm strength.\nStand Mixer\n– This is hands free but you need to make sure you have enough liquid in the bowl so that the whisks actually touch the mixture. You’ll probably need to do a triple or quadruple batch.\nSmall Whisk or Matcha Whisk\n– This is the cheapest way to whip and what I personally do. It works and it works well and you don’t have to get a machine out to do it. It takes some time but hey, it’s not like I’m getting much exercise right now, so I think this is my number 1 choice even though I put it down as number 3.\nHand Held Frother\n– You can use a hand held frother but it needs to be very very powerful and you need to do it for a LONG time and you will probably get frustrated. If you do use a frother, put the mixture in a jar or cup instead of a bowl, it’ll make it a tiny bit easier.\nJar\n– You can put everything in a jar and shake it up. This is actually how they make frappe coffee in Greece. It doesn’t get as thick but it does get foamy.\nCan I put other stuff in my whipped coffee? Yes, here are some variations:\nMocha:\nwhip up the dalgona, but then add 1-2 tablespoons of cocoa powder and you have a mocha!\nMatcha:\nFollow our\nDalgona Matcha\nrecipe!\nMaple:\nuse maple syrup instead of sugar for a maple dalgona\nPumpkin spice dalgona coffee: \nstir in 1 tablespoon pumpkin puree into your milk and whip 1\/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice up with the dalgona fluff. This tastes best with hot milk but goes with cold milk too.\nGingerbread dalgona coffee: \nadd 1\/2 teaspoon cinnamon and 1\/2 teaspoon ginger when you add the sugar to the dalgona and whip up. Stir in 1 teaspoon of molasses into the milk.\nHoney:\nuse honey for a honey dalgona\nLess sugar:\nyou can adjust the sugar content to your preference, if you like it sweeter, add more sugar, if you think it’s too sweet, add less\nKeto:\nyou can use zero calorie sweetner and drink it over watered down cream instead of milk\nVegan:\nuse alternative milks like almond, oat, soy, etc.\nCaffeine Free:\nJust use decaf coffee\nHot:\nYep, you can have this hot or iced, whichever you prefer!\nCan I make it ahead of time?\nDalgona coffee can keep for a long time, especially if you whip it up well. I put a dollop in the fridge to experiment and it’s been there for four days, no joke and it looks exactly the same as the day I made it.\nCan I make Keto Whipped Coffee?\nGood news keto people! You can totally make keto dalgona coffee. Just use your favorite granulated sweetener, I’ve made it with stevia in the raw, monkfruit, and swerve. Instead of milk, use heavy cream watered down with water. Use 1 and a half tablespoons mixed with water for the milk portion.\nWhat else can I use it on?\nIt’s so fluffy you can put it on anything! I made a small batch of brownies recently (\nrecipe here\n!) and topped one off with dalgona coffee. You can also put it on ice cream or baked goods like cakes, loaves, cookies, basically anything!\nLet me know if you have any other questions!

It’s pretty, it tastes good, and it’s probably the best way to to spend some time while you’re at home during the stay home covid campaign.\n\nThe best part about it is that you only need three ingredients, two of which you probably already have at home so that means no need to put in a delivery order or go to the grocery store. If you have instant coffee, sugar, and milk, you’re fluffy coffee ready. It’s super simple: mix equal parts coffee, sugar, and hot water, then whip until it turns into a luxe and silky thick creamy foam. Spoon it on to some iced milk (which is literally just milk with ice in it) then enjoy, no Starbucks run needed.\n\nDalgona coffee, fluffy coffee, frothy coffee, whipped coffee – whatever you want to call it, here are all your questions answered right here\\!\n\n![dalgona coffee \\| www.iamafoodblog.com](https:\/\/iamafoodblog.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/how-to-make-dalgona-coffee-1668-2.jpg)\n\n## What is dalgona coffee?\nDalgona coffee is a whipped frothy coffee that’s made from instant coffee and sugar, then put on milk. It’s called dalgona because the fluffy creamy coffee looks like dalgona candy, a candy from South Korea that’s just like honeycomb toffee or sponge toffee. You’ve probably eaten honeycomb toffee before, covered in chocolate. I haven’t had it in years but it’s good.\n\n## What about whipped coffee?\nWhipped coffee is what they call dalgona coffee on Tiktok! They also call it Tiktok coffee, frappe coffee, beaten coffee, hand beaten coffee, and a myriad of other names.\n\n## Dalgona coffee’s origin:\nThe popularity of dalgona coffee mostly stems from South Korea where it started trending because of social distancing\/isolation. Everyone was stuck at home and Instagramming their daily lives and dalgona coffee caught on, probably because you don’t need much to make it and it’s really cute. Whipped coffee exists elsewhere in the world too – apparently it came to the Korea consciousness via a big Korean actor discovering it in Macau, but they also have it in India and Pakistan. Apparently it comes from Greece where a Nescafé guy figured out that instant Nescafé whips up nice. They call it frappe\\!\n\n![dalgona coffee origin \\| www.iamafoodblog.com](https:\/\/iamafoodblog.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/how-to-make-dalgona-coffee-1643.jpg)\n\n## How to make dalgona coffee\n1. **Boil.** You need just off the boil hot water to instantly melt your coffee crystals. Just bring a small pot of water to a boil.\n2. **Mix.** In a bowl, stir together equal parts instant coffee and sugar.\n3. **Fluff.** When the water has come to a boil, immediately add the water to the bowl of coffee and sugar and start to whip. Use a whisk or hand mixer to whip until light, frothy, and thick.\n4. **Pour.** Fill a glass (or two) with ice and pour in cold milk.\n5. **Top.** Top the glasses of milk with the fluffy dalgona coffee. Stir and enjoy\\!\n## Whipped coffee ingredients\n- **Instant Coffee:** You want granulated instant coffee crystals without any add-ins or flavors. Some people have reported a certain brand or another not working. I keep it simple and use [Nescafe Clasico Instant Coffee.](https:\/\/amzn.to\/347rLzm)\n- **Sweetener:** I use sugar here, but you can use any you want, including stevia in the raw, splenda, or something else. It’s really bitter without a sweetener though (duh) so you should definitely include this. The sugar also helps the fluffy coffee part stay fluffy.\n- **Milk:** Any milk is good! I use 2% here. You can substitute your favorite milk: almond milk, soy milk, oat milk. It’s the biggest part of the drink so make sure it’s a milk you like\\!\n\n![dalgona coffee ingredients \\| www.iamafoodblog.com](https:\/\/iamafoodblog.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/how-to-make-dalgona-coffee-1642.jpg)\n\n## Do I have to use instant coffee?\nYes, it has to be instant coffee. There’s something about instant coffee crystals that creates the right frothy texture to whip up. You can use decaf too if you’re sensitive to caffeine – I’m pretty sure it’ll froth up the same way but I can’t guarantee it because we don’t have any decaf instant coffee at home. I used Nescafé – apparently Nescafé are the ones who invented frappe coffee so it’ll definitely work the best, but I have a friend who made it successfully with both Maxwell House and Starbucks instant espresso (although the espresso wasn’t as frothy).\n\n![what is dalgona coffee? \\| www.iamafoodblog.com](https:\/\/iamafoodblog.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/how-to-make-dalgona-coffee-1675-2.jpg)\n\n## Can you make dalgona coffee without sugar?\nShort answer, yes. Long answer, not really? The sugar really helps the instant coffee whip to a fluffy meringue-like texture that holds its shape for a while. But, I’ve also made it using stevia in the raw and that worked too (I assume other granulated sweeteners will as well), but it wasn’t as fluffy. If you’re really sensitive to sugar, you can reduce it down, just know that your fluff won’t be as fluffy.\n\n## Do I have to use a hand mixer?\nYou can use your arm muscles and a whisk, like I did. It didn’t take long at all, but maybe I have a lot of experience whipping cream and meringues. If you have a hand mixer, stand mixer, frother, or whisk you can make dalgona coffee. [I use this milk frother and it works amazingly.](https:\/\/amzn.to\/2E0Stz3)\n\n## What kind of milk can I use in dalgona coffee?\nYou can use any kind of milk or milk substitute you like: almond milk, oat milk, soy milk, coconut milk, rice milk, cashew milk, macadamia milk, essentially any milk that has a creamy mouth feel.\n\n## Hot Milk vs Cold Milk Dalgona Coffee\nYou can use hot milk or iced\/cold, it’s up to you! I went with iced because it makes the milk go farther and I need to stretch out my milk for as long as possible because I’m literally frightened to go to the grocery store. You can also use evaporated milk (which comes in cans, perfect!), either watered down a bit or not.\n\n![dalgona coffee from tiktok \\| www.iamafoodblog.com](https:\/\/iamafoodblog.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/how-to-make-dalgona-coffee-1665.jpg)\n\n## What does dalgona coffee taste like?\nIt’s velvety and creamy and full of sweet coffee flavor. Kind of a like a non-icy frappuccino. It’s full of strong coffee flavors and pretty darn sweet. But if you’re not so concerned about getting that picture perfect fluffy cap, you can ease up on the amount of fluffy coffee you put on top of your milk.\n\nHope you guys give this a try. I absolutely loved it when I made it with just 1 teaspoon of coffee and 1 teaspoon of sugar. As long as you go with equal parts coffee, sugar, and water, you can make the fluffy coffee of your dreams. In the recipe below I kept it at 2 tablespoons of each and made 2 coffees, but feel free to adjust as needed.\n\n## Why won’t my whipped coffee whip?\nI’ve been getting lots of comments asking why won’t the coffee fluff up. I have two tips for you guys:\n\n1. Make sure your have enough volume. Having a small amount of anything makes it more difficult to whip because you have to work that much harder to whip the air into a tiny amount of volume. If you’re having difficulty whipping, try doubling the recipe, which will most likely help. Also, don’t use too big of a bowl.\n2. Use very hot water which will help dissolve the coffee and sugar instantly. Having the sugar fully dissolved will help the mixture froth up more.\n\n![how to make dalgona coffee \\| www.iamafoodblog.com](https:\/\/iamafoodblog.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/how-to-make-dalgona-coffee-1641-2.jpg)\n\n### Other Frequently Asked Questions:\n## What is the best equipment for whipped coffee?\n1. **Hand Held Electric Mixer** – This is probably the easiest way because you can press your whisks right up against the mixture and you don’t need to use any arm strength.\n2. **Stand Mixer** – This is hands free but you need to make sure you have enough liquid in the bowl so that the whisks actually touch the mixture. You’ll probably need to do a triple or quadruple batch.\n3. **Small Whisk or Matcha Whisk** – This is the cheapest way to whip and what I personally do. It works and it works well and you don’t have to get a machine out to do it. It takes some time but hey, it’s not like I’m getting much exercise right now, so I think this is my number 1 choice even though I put it down as number 3.\n4. **Hand Held Frother** – You can use a hand held frother but it needs to be very very powerful and you need to do it for a LONG time and you will probably get frustrated. If you do use a frother, put the mixture in a jar or cup instead of a bowl, it’ll make it a tiny bit easier.\n5. **Jar** – You can put everything in a jar and shake it up. This is actually how they make frappe coffee in Greece. It doesn’t get as thick but it does get foamy.\n## Can I put other stuff in my whipped coffee? Yes, here are some variations:\n- **Mocha:** whip up the dalgona, but then add 1-2 tablespoons of cocoa powder and you have a mocha\\!\n- **Matcha:** Follow our [Dalgona Matcha](https:\/\/iamafoodblog.com\/how-to-make-whipped-matcha-dalgona-matcha-two-ways-tips\/) recipe\\!\n- **Maple:** use maple syrup instead of sugar for a maple dalgona\n- **Pumpkin spice dalgona coffee:** stir in 1 tablespoon pumpkin puree into your milk and whip 1\/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice up with the dalgona fluff. This tastes best with hot milk but goes with cold milk too.\n- ****Gingerbread dalgona coffee:**** add 1\/2 teaspoon cinnamon and 1\/2 teaspoon ginger when you add the sugar to the dalgona and whip up. Stir in 1 teaspoon of molasses into the milk.\n- **Honey:** use honey for a honey dalgona\n- **Less sugar:** you can adjust the sugar content to your preference, if you like it sweeter, add more sugar, if you think it’s too sweet, add less\n- **Keto:** you can use zero calorie sweetner and drink it over watered down cream instead of milk\n- **Vegan:** use alternative milks like almond, oat, soy, etc.\n- **Caffeine Free:** Just use decaf coffee\n- **Hot:** Yep, you can have this hot or iced, whichever you prefer\\!\n## Can I make it ahead of time?\nDalgona coffee can keep for a long time, especially if you whip it up well. I put a dollop in the fridge to experiment and it’s been there for four days, no joke and it looks exactly the same as the day I made it.\n\n## Can I make Keto Whipped Coffee?\nGood news keto people! You can totally make keto dalgona coffee. Just use your favorite granulated sweetener, I’ve made it with stevia in the raw, monkfruit, and swerve. Instead of milk, use heavy cream watered down with water. Use 1 and a half tablespoons mixed with water for the milk portion.\n\n## What else can I use it on?\nIt’s so fluffy you can put it on anything! I made a small batch of brownies recently ([recipe here](https:\/\/iamafoodblog.com\/super-chocolatey-extra-small-batch-brownies\/)!) and topped one off with dalgona coffee. You can also put it on ice cream or baked goods like cakes, loaves, cookies, basically anything\\!\n\nLet me know if you have any other questions! May your dalgona be fluffy and thicc\\!\n\nStay safe and healthy at home :)\n\n![dalgona coffee recipe \\| www.iamafoodblog.com](https:\/\/iamafoodblog.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/how-to-make-dalgona-coffee-1673w-2-150x150.jpg)\n\n## Dalgona Coffee Recipe\nDalgona coffee, fluffy coffee, frothy coffee, whipped coffee - whatever you want to call it, it’s an easy 3 ingredient recipe for picture perfect coffee when you can’t go out to a cute cafe\n\nServes 2\n\n5 from 10 votes\n\nPrep Time 1 minute\n\nCook Time 4 minutes\n\nTotal Time 5 minutes\n\n- 2 tbsp instant coffee\n- 2 tbsp sugar\n- 2 tbsp very hot water\n- 2 glasses milk with ice cubes\n\n- Bring small pot of water to a boil.

Maple: use maple syrup instead of sugar for a maple dalgona Pumpkin spice dalgona coffee: stir in 1 tablespoon pumpkin puree into your milk and whip 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice up with the dalgona fluff. This tastes best with hot milk but goes with cold milk too. Gingerbread dalgona coffee: add 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and 1/2 teaspoon ginger when you add the sugar to the dalgona and whip up. Stir in 1 teaspoon of molasses into the milk. Honey: use honey for a honey dalgona Less sugar: you can adjust the sugar content to your preference, if you like it sweeter, add more sugar, if you think it’s too sweet, add less Keto: you can use zero calorie sweetner and drink it over watered down cream instead of milk Vegan: use alternative milks like almond, oat, soy, etc. Caffeine Free: Just use decaf coffee Hot: Yep, you can have this hot or iced, whichever you prefer! Can I make it ahead of time? Dalgona coffee can keep for a long time, especially if you whip it up well. I put a dollop in the fridge to experiment and it’s been there for four days, no joke and it looks exactly the same as the day I made it. Can I make Keto Whipped Coffee? Good news keto people! You can totally make keto dalgona coffee. Just use your favorite granulated sweetener, I’ve made it with stevia in the raw, monkfruit, and swerve. Instead of milk, use heavy cream watered down with water. Use 1 and a half tablespoons mixed with water for the milk portion. What else can I use it on? It’s so fluffy you can put it on anything! I made a small batch of brownies recently ( recipe here !) and topped one off with dalgona coffee. You can also put it on ice cream or baked goods like cakes, loaves, cookies, basically anything! Let me know if you have any other questions! May your dalgona be fluffy and thicc!

Dalgona Coffee Recipe # Dalgona Coffee Recipe [drinks](https://iamafoodblog.com/category/recipes/drinks/)[recipes](https://iamafoodblog.com/category/recipes/) A three ingredient, pantry friendly way to have a picture perfect coffee when you can’t go out to a cute cafe. Updated August 29, 2020 by Stephanie ![dalgona coffee recipe \\| www.iamafoodblog.com](https://iamafoodblog.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/how-to-make-dalgona-coffee-1673w-2-1024x683.jpg) Dalgona coffee is having a moment. This whipped coffee is viral on TikTok, trending on Twitter, and blowing up my insta feed. It’s pretty, it tastes good, and it’s probably the best way to to spend some time while you’re at home during the stay home covid campaign. The best part about it is that you only need three ingredients, two of which you probably already have at home so that means no need to put in a delivery order or go to the grocery store. If you have instant coffee, sugar, and milk, you’re fluffy coffee ready. It’s super simple: mix equal parts coffee, sugar, and hot water, then whip until it turns into a luxe and silky thick creamy foam. Spoon it on to some iced milk (which is literally just milk with ice in it) then enjoy, no Starbucks run needed. Dalgona coffee, fluffy coffee, frothy coffee, whipped coffee – whatever you want to call it, here are all your questions answered right here\! ![dalgona coffee \\| www.iamafoodblog.com](https://iamafoodblog.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/how-to-make-dalgona-coffee-1668-2.jpg) ## What is dalgona coffee? Dalgona coffee is a whipped frothy coffee that’s made from instant coffee and sugar, then put on milk. It’s called dalgona because the fluffy creamy coffee looks like dalgona candy, a candy from South Korea that’s just like honeycomb toffee or sponge toffee. You’ve probably eaten honeycomb toffee before, covered in chocolate. I haven’t had it in years but it’s good. ## What about whipped coffee? Whipped coffee is what they call dalgona coffee on Tiktok! They also call it Tiktok coffee, frappe coffee, beaten coffee, hand beaten coffee, and a myriad of other names. ## Dalgona coffee’s origin: The popularity of dalgona coffee mostly stems from South Korea where it started trending because of social distancing/isolation. Everyone was stuck at home and Instagramming their daily lives and dalgona coffee caught on, probably because you don’t need much to make it and it’s really cute. Whipped coffee exists elsewhere in the world too – apparently it came to the Korea consciousness via a big Korean actor discovering it in Macau, but they also have it in India and Pakistan. Apparently it comes from Greece where a Nescafé guy figured out that instant Nescafé whips up nice. They call it frappe\! ![dalgona coffee origin \\| www.iamafoodblog.com](https://iamafoodblog.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/how-to-make-dalgona-coffee-1643.jpg) ## How to make dalgona coffee 1. Boil. You need just off the boil hot water to instantly melt your coffee crystals. Just bring a small pot of water to a boil. 2. Mix. In a bowl, stir together equal parts instant coffee and sugar. 3. Fluff. When the water has come to a boil, immediately add the water to the bowl of coffee and sugar and start to whip. Use a whisk or hand mixer to whip until light, frothy, and thick. 4. Pour. Fill a glass (or two) with ice and pour in cold milk. 5. Top. Top the glasses of milk with the fluffy dalgona coffee. Stir and enjoy\! ## Whipped coffee ingredients - Instant Coffee: You want granulated instant coffee crystals without any add-ins or flavors. Some people have reported a certain brand or another not working. I keep it simple and use [Nescafe Clasico Instant Coffee.](https://amzn.to/347rLzm) - Sweetener: I use sugar here, but you can use any you want, including stevia in the raw, splenda, or something else. It’s really bitter without a sweetener though (duh) so you should definitely include this. The sugar also helps the fluffy coffee part stay fluffy. - Milk: Any milk is good! I use 2% here. You can substitute your favorite milk: almond milk, soy milk, oat milk. It’s the biggest part of the drink so make sure it’s a milk you like\! ![dalgona coffee ingredients \\| www.iamafoodblog.com](https://iamafoodblog.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/how-to-make-dalgona-coffee-1642.jpg) ## Do I have to use instant coffee? Yes, it has to be instant coffee. There’s something about instant coffee crystals that creates the right frothy texture to whip up. You can use decaf too if you’re sensitive to caffeine – I’m pretty sure it’ll froth up the same way but I can’t guarantee it because we don’t have any decaf instant coffee at home. I used Nescafé – apparently Nescafé are the ones who invented frappe coffee so it’ll definitely work the best, but I have a friend who made it successfully with both Maxwell House and Starbucks instant espresso (although the espresso wasn’t as frothy). ![what is dalgona coffee? \\| www.iamafoodblog.com](https://iamafoodblog.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/how-to-make-dalgona-coffee-1675-2.jpg) ## Can you make dalgona coffee without sugar? Short answer, yes. Long answer, not really? The sugar really helps the instant coffee whip to a fluffy meringue-like texture that holds its shape for a while. But, I’ve also made it using stevia in the raw and that worked too (I assume other granulated sweeteners will as well), but it wasn’t as fluffy. If you’re really sensitive to sugar, you can reduce it down, just know that your fluff won’t be as fluffy. ## Do I have to use a hand mixer? You can use your arm muscles and a whisk, like I did. It didn’t take long at all, but maybe I have a lot of experience whipping cream and meringues. If you have a hand mixer, stand mixer, frother, or whisk you can make dalgona coffee. [I use this milk frother and it works amazingly.](https://amzn.to/2E0Stz3) ## What kind of milk can I use in dalgona coffee? You can use any kind of milk or milk substitute you like: almond milk, oat milk, soy milk, coconut milk, rice milk, cashew milk, macadamia milk, essentially any milk that has a creamy mouth feel. ## Hot Milk vs Cold Milk Dalgona Coffee You can use hot milk or iced/cold, it’s up to you! I went with iced because it makes the milk go farther and I need to stretch out my milk for as long as possible because I’m literally frightened to go to the grocery store. You can also use evaporated milk (which comes in cans, perfect!), either watered down a bit or not. ![dalgona coffee from tiktok \\| www.iamafoodblog.com](https://iamafoodblog.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/how-to-make-dalgona-coffee-1665.jpg) ## What does dalgona coffee taste like? It’s velvety and creamy and full of sweet coffee flavor. Kind of a like a non-icy frappuccino. It’s full of strong coffee flavors and pretty darn sweet. But if you’re not so concerned about getting that picture perfect fluffy cap, you can ease up on the amount of fluffy coffee you put on top of your milk. Hope you guys give this a try. I absolutely loved it when I made it with just 1 teaspoon of coffee and 1 teaspoon of sugar. As long as you go with equal parts coffee, sugar, and water, you can make the fluffy coffee of your dreams. In the recipe below I kept it at 2 tablespoons of each and made 2 coffees, but feel free to adjust as needed. ## Why won’t my whipped coffee whip? I’ve been getting lots of comments asking why won’t the coffee fluff up. I have two tips for you guys: 1. Make sure your have enough volume. Having a small amount of anything makes it more difficult to whip because you have to work that much harder to whip the air into a tiny amount of volume. If you’re having difficulty whipping, try doubling the recipe, which will most likely help. Also, don’t use too big of a bowl. 2. Use very hot water which will help dissolve the coffee and sugar instantly. Having the sugar fully dissolved will help the mixture froth up more. ![how to make dalgona coffee \\| www.iamafoodblog.com](https://iamafoodblog.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/how-to-make-dalgona-coffee-1641-2.jpg) ### Other Frequently Asked Questions: ## What is the best equipment for whipped coffee? 1. Hand Held Electric Mixer – This is probably the easiest way because you can press your whisks right up against the mixture and you don’t need to use any arm strength. 2. Stand Mixer – This is hands free but you need to make sure you have enough liquid in the bowl so that the whisks actually touch the mixture. You’ll probably need to do a triple or quadruple batch. 3. Small Whisk or Matcha Whisk – This is the cheapest way to whip and what I personally do. It works and it works well and you don’t have to get a machine out to do it. It takes some time but hey, it’s not like I’m getting much exercise right now, so I think this is my number 1 choice even though I put it down as number 3. 4. Hand Held Frother – You can use a hand held frother but it needs to be very very powerful and you need to do it for a LONG time and you will probably get frustrated. If you do use a frother, put the mixture in a jar or cup instead of a bowl, it’ll make it a tiny bit easier. 5. Jar – You can put everything in a jar and shake it up. This is actually how they make frappe coffee in Greece. It doesn’t get as thick but it does get foamy. ## Can I put other stuff in my whipped coffee? Yes, here are some variations: - Mocha: whip up the dalgona, but then add 1-2 tablespoons of cocoa powder and you have a mocha\! - Matcha: Follow our [Dalgona Matcha](https://iamafoodblog.com/how-to-make-whipped-matcha-dalgona-matcha-two-ways-tips/) recipe\! - Maple: use maple syrup instead of sugar for a maple dalgona - Pumpkin spice dalgona coffee: stir in 1 tablespoon pumpkin puree into your milk and whip 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice up with the dalgona fluff.

I know this as Frappé coffee and it is very popular in Greece.

I used Starbucks Via Instant Coffee too and that worked as well. Good luck\! 2.

Readable Markdown	Dalgona coffee is having a moment. This whipped coffee is viral on TikTok, trending on Twitter, and blowing up my insta feed. It’s pretty, it tastes good, and it’s probably the best way to to spend some time while you’re at home during the stay home covid campaign. The best part about it is that you only need three ingredients, two of which you probably already have at home so that means no need to put in a delivery order or go to the grocery store. If you have instant coffee, sugar, and milk, you’re fluffy coffee ready. It’s super simple: mix equal parts coffee, sugar, and hot water, then whip until it turns into a luxe and silky thick creamy foam. Spoon it on to some iced milk (which is literally just milk with ice in it) then enjoy, no Starbucks run needed. Dalgona coffee, fluffy coffee, frothy coffee, whipped coffee – whatever you want to call it, here are all your questions answered right here\! ![dalgona coffee \\| www.iamafoodblog.com](https://iamafoodblog.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/how-to-make-dalgona-coffee-1668-2.jpg) ## What is dalgona coffee? Dalgona coffee is a whipped frothy coffee that’s made from instant coffee and sugar, then put on milk. It’s called dalgona because the fluffy creamy coffee looks like dalgona candy, a candy from South Korea that’s just like honeycomb toffee or sponge toffee. You’ve probably eaten honeycomb toffee before, covered in chocolate. I haven’t had it in years but it’s good. ## What about whipped coffee? Whipped coffee is what they call dalgona coffee on Tiktok! They also call it Tiktok coffee, frappe coffee, beaten coffee, hand beaten coffee, and a myriad of other names. ## Dalgona coffee’s origin: The popularity of dalgona coffee mostly stems from South Korea where it started trending because of social distancing/isolation. Everyone was stuck at home and Instagramming their daily lives and dalgona coffee caught on, probably because you don’t need much to make it and it’s really cute. Whipped coffee exists elsewhere in the world too – apparently it came to the Korea consciousness via a big Korean actor discovering it in Macau, but they also have it in India and Pakistan. Apparently it comes from Greece where a Nescafé guy figured out that instant Nescafé whips up nice. They call it frappe\! ![dalgona coffee origin \\| www.iamafoodblog.com](https://iamafoodblog.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/how-to-make-dalgona-coffee-1643.jpg) ## How to make dalgona coffee 1. Boil. You need just off the boil hot water to instantly melt your coffee crystals. Just bring a small pot of water to a boil. 2. Mix. In a bowl, stir together equal parts instant coffee and sugar. 3. Fluff. When the water has come to a boil, immediately add the water to the bowl of coffee and sugar and start to whip. Use a whisk or hand mixer to whip until light, frothy, and thick. 4. Pour. Fill a glass (or two) with ice and pour in cold milk. 5. Top. Top the glasses of milk with the fluffy dalgona coffee. Stir and enjoy\! ## Whipped coffee ingredients - Instant Coffee: You want granulated instant coffee crystals without any add-ins or flavors. Some people have reported a certain brand or another not working. I keep it simple and use [Nescafe Clasico Instant Coffee.](https://amzn.to/347rLzm) - Sweetener: I use sugar here, but you can use any you want, including stevia in the raw, splenda, or something else. It’s really bitter without a sweetener though (duh) so you should definitely include this. The sugar also helps the fluffy coffee part stay fluffy. - Milk: Any milk is good! I use 2% here. You can substitute your favorite milk: almond milk, soy milk, oat milk. It’s the biggest part of the drink so make sure it’s a milk you like\! ![dalgona coffee ingredients \\| www.iamafoodblog.com](https://iamafoodblog.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/how-to-make-dalgona-coffee-1642.jpg) ## Do I have to use instant coffee? Yes, it has to be instant coffee. There’s something about instant coffee crystals that creates the right frothy texture to whip up. You can use decaf too if you’re sensitive to caffeine – I’m pretty sure it’ll froth up the same way but I can’t guarantee it because we don’t have any decaf instant coffee at home. I used Nescafé – apparently Nescafé are the ones who invented frappe coffee so it’ll definitely work the best, but I have a friend who made it successfully with both Maxwell House and Starbucks instant espresso (although the espresso wasn’t as frothy). ![what is dalgona coffee? \\| www.iamafoodblog.com](https://iamafoodblog.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/how-to-make-dalgona-coffee-1675-2.jpg) ## Can you make dalgona coffee without sugar? Short answer, yes. Long answer, not really? The sugar really helps the instant coffee whip to a fluffy meringue-like texture that holds its shape for a while. But, I’ve also made it using stevia in the raw and that worked too (I assume other granulated sweeteners will as well), but it wasn’t as fluffy. If you’re really sensitive to sugar, you can reduce it down, just know that your fluff won’t be as fluffy. ## Do I have to use a hand mixer? You can use your arm muscles and a whisk, like I did. It didn’t take long at all, but maybe I have a lot of experience whipping cream and meringues. If you have a hand mixer, stand mixer, frother, or whisk you can make dalgona coffee. [I use this milk frother and it works amazingly.](https://amzn.to/2E0Stz3) ## What kind of milk can I use in dalgona coffee? You can use any kind of milk or milk substitute you like: almond milk, oat milk, soy milk, coconut milk, rice milk, cashew milk, macadamia milk, essentially any milk that has a creamy mouth feel. ## Hot Milk vs Cold Milk Dalgona Coffee You can use hot milk or iced/cold, it’s up to you! I went with iced because it makes the milk go farther and I need to stretch out my milk for as long as possible because I’m literally frightened to go to the grocery store. You can also use evaporated milk (which comes in cans, perfect!), either watered down a bit or not. ![dalgona coffee from tiktok \\| www.iamafoodblog.com](https://iamafoodblog.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/how-to-make-dalgona-coffee-1665.jpg) ## What does dalgona coffee taste like? It’s velvety and creamy and full of sweet coffee flavor. Kind of a like a non-icy frappuccino. It’s full of strong coffee flavors and pretty darn sweet. But if you’re not so concerned about getting that picture perfect fluffy cap, you can ease up on the amount of fluffy coffee you put on top of your milk. Hope you guys give this a try. I absolutely loved it when I made it with just 1 teaspoon of coffee and 1 teaspoon of sugar. As long as you go with equal parts coffee, sugar, and water, you can make the fluffy coffee of your dreams. In the recipe below I kept it at 2 tablespoons of each and made 2 coffees, but feel free to adjust as needed. ## Why won’t my whipped coffee whip? I’ve been getting lots of comments asking why won’t the coffee fluff up. I have two tips for you guys: 1. Make sure your have enough volume. Having a small amount of anything makes it more difficult to whip because you have to work that much harder to whip the air into a tiny amount of volume. If you’re having difficulty whipping, try doubling the recipe, which will most likely help. Also, don’t use too big of a bowl. 2. Use very hot water which will help dissolve the coffee and sugar instantly. Having the sugar fully dissolved will help the mixture froth up more. ![how to make dalgona coffee \\| www.iamafoodblog.com](https://iamafoodblog.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/how-to-make-dalgona-coffee-1641-2.jpg) ### Other Frequently Asked Questions: ## What is the best equipment for whipped coffee? 1. Hand Held Electric Mixer – This is probably the easiest way because you can press your whisks right up against the mixture and you don’t need to use any arm strength. 2. Stand Mixer – This is hands free but you need to make sure you have enough liquid in the bowl so that the whisks actually touch the mixture. You’ll probably need to do a triple or quadruple batch. 3. Small Whisk or Matcha Whisk – This is the cheapest way to whip and what I personally do. It works and it works well and you don’t have to get a machine out to do it. It takes some time but hey, it’s not like I’m getting much exercise right now, so I think this is my number 1 choice even though I put it down as number 3. 4. Hand Held Frother – You can use a hand held frother but it needs to be very very powerful and you need to do it for a LONG time and you will probably get frustrated. If you do use a frother, put the mixture in a jar or cup instead of a bowl, it’ll make it a tiny bit easier. 5. Jar – You can put everything in a jar and shake it up. This is actually how they make frappe coffee in Greece. It doesn’t get as thick but it does get foamy. ## Can I put other stuff in my whipped coffee? Yes, here are some variations: - Mocha: whip up the dalgona, but then add 1-2 tablespoons of cocoa powder and you have a mocha\! - Matcha: Follow our [Dalgona Matcha](https://iamafoodblog.com/how-to-make-whipped-matcha-dalgona-matcha-two-ways-tips/) recipe\! - Maple: use maple syrup instead of sugar for a maple dalgona - Pumpkin spice dalgona coffee: stir in 1 tablespoon pumpkin puree into your milk and whip 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice up with the dalgona fluff. This tastes best with hot milk but goes with cold milk too. - **Gingerbread dalgona coffee: add 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and 1/2 teaspoon ginger when you add the sugar to the dalgona and whip up. Stir in 1 teaspoon of molasses into the milk. - Honey: use honey for a honey dalgona - Less sugar: you can adjust the sugar content to your preference, if you like it sweeter, add more sugar, if you think it’s too sweet, add less - Keto: you can use zero calorie sweetner and drink it over watered down cream instead of milk - Vegan: use alternative milks like almond, oat, soy, etc. - Caffeine Free: Just use decaf coffee - Hot: Yep, you can have this hot or iced, whichever you prefer\! ## Can I make it ahead of time? Dalgona coffee can keep for a long time, especially if you whip it up well. I put a dollop in the fridge to experiment and it’s been there for four days, no joke and it looks exactly the same as the day I made it. ## Can I make Keto Whipped Coffee? Good news keto people! You can totally make keto dalgona coffee. Just use your favorite granulated sweetener, I’ve made it with stevia in the raw, monkfruit, and swerve. Instead of milk, use heavy cream watered down with water. Use 1 and a half tablespoons mixed with water for the milk portion. ## What else can I use it on? It’s so fluffy you can put it on anything! I made a small batch of brownies recently ([recipe here](https://iamafoodblog.com/super-chocolatey-extra-small-batch-brownies/)!) and topped one off with dalgona coffee. You can also put it on ice cream or baked goods like cakes, loaves, cookies, basically anything\! Let me know if you have any other questions! May your dalgona be fluffy and thicc\!
