Add a dusting of cocoa,\nhomemade pumpkin spice\n, or cinnamon on top.\nAdd-In Options:\nIn the milk, try stirring in cocoa powder for mocha dalgona, chai spice for a cozy twist, or even maple syrup for fall flavors. For the holidays, I love making a peppermint version.\nSimple Substitutions:\nSwap white sugar for brown sugar for a deeper flavor, or use decaf instant coffee for an evening treat.\nTips For Recipe Success:\nAlways use instant coffee, not ground coffee, for the best foam.

This fluffy whipped coffee trend from Korea may have started online, but it’s become a favorite at my house for both busy weekday mornings and relaxed weekend brunches.\n\nWith just a few simple ingredients, you can whip up a creamy, frothy coffee that looks like it came straight from a coffee shop, and it’s such a treat to serve when friends or family stop by.\n\nWhat makes dalgona coffee special is the texture: **light and fluffy on top**, **smooth and creamy underneath.** It’s a drink that **feels indulgent** but takes **only five minutes to prepare**.

Decaf instant coffee works just as well if you want less caffeine.\n- **Granulated Sugar:** White sugar creates the most stable foam, but brown sugar, coconut sugar, or monkfruit sweetener can be used.\n- **Hot Water:** Use freshly boiled water for the best texture.\n- **Milk of Choice:** Dairy milk gives the creamiest base, but oat milk and soy milk also work beautifully. Almond and coconut milk will make a lighter version.\n- **Cinnamon or Cocoa Powder (Optional):** Adds warmth and extra flavor.\n## How to Make Dalgona Coffee\n### **Whip the Coffee**\nIn a medium mixing bowl, or pitcher combine instant coffee, sugar, and hot water in equal amounts.

Use monkfruit or stevia for a lower-sugar version, but note the foam won’t hold quite as long.\n\n**Flavor Enhancements:** Stir in a splash of vanilla, caramel syrup, or peppermint extract to the milk. Add a dusting of cocoa, **[homemade pumpkin spice](https:\/\/intentionalhospitality.com\/pumpkin-spice-whipped-cream\/)**, or cinnamon on top.\n\n**Add-In Options:** In the milk, try stirring in cocoa powder for mocha dalgona, chai spice for a cozy twist, or even maple syrup for fall flavors. For the holidays, I love making a peppermint version.\n\n**Simple Substitutions:** Swap white sugar for brown sugar for a deeper flavor, or use decaf instant coffee for an evening treat.\n\n**Tips For Recipe Success:** Always use instant coffee, not ground coffee, for the best foam.

This fluffy whipped coffee trend from Korea may have started online, but it’s become a favorite at my house for both busy weekday mornings and relaxed weekend brunches. With just a few simple ingredients, you can whip up a creamy, frothy coffee that looks like it came straight from a coffee shop, and it’s such a treat to serve when friends or family stop by.

It’s a drink that feels indulgent but takes only five minutes to prepare. I love that it can be enjoyed hot or iced, so it works year-round. It’s also incredibly budget-friendly, since all you need are instant coffee, sugar, water, and milk. Plus, it’s fun to serve at brunch or holiday gatherings because everyone gets to stir in their own coffee cloud. ![Five bowls containing instant coffee, granulated sugar, milk, cinnamon, and water are arranged on a white surface.

Each bowl is labeled with its ingredient in green text.](https://intentionalhospitality.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Dalgona-Coffee-ingredient.jpg) ## Ingredient Notes Here’s a quick overview of the key ingredients for this recipe. For the full list of ingredients and exact measurements, be sure to [check the recipe card](https://intentionalhospitality.com/how-to-make-dalgona-coffee/#recipe) at the bottom of this post. - Instant Coffee: Any brand of instant coffee or espresso works. Decaf instant coffee works just as well if you want less caffeine. - Granulated Sugar: White sugar creates the most stable foam, but brown sugar, coconut sugar, or monkfruit sweetener can be used. - Hot Water: Use freshly boiled water for the best texture. - Milk of Choice: Dairy milk gives the creamiest base, but oat milk and soy milk also work beautifully. Almond and coconut milk will make a lighter version. - Cinnamon or Cocoa Powder (Optional): Adds warmth and extra flavor. ## How to Make Dalgona Coffee ### Whip the Coffee In a medium mixing bowl, or pitcher combine instant coffee, sugar, and hot water in equal amounts. Whip with a hand mixer for 2–5 minutes, or whisk vigorously by hand for 10–12 minutes, until thick peaks form. Yes, your arm will get a work out\! ![A metal whisk attached to a hand mixer is held above a glass measuring cup filled with whipped coffee on a white background.

For iced, add ice cubes first. For hot, warm the milk before pouring. Spoon the whipped coffee mixture on top of the milk. Stir before drinking for a creamy, frothy treat. ![Two glass mugs filled with iced milk are topped with whipped coffee foam (dalgona coffee) on a white surface.

Use monkfruit or stevia for a lower-sugar version, but note the foam won’t hold quite as long. Flavor Enhancements: Stir in a splash of vanilla, caramel syrup, or peppermint extract to the milk. Add a dusting of cocoa, [homemade pumpkin spice](https://intentionalhospitality.com/pumpkin-spice-whipped-cream/), or cinnamon on top. Add-In Options: In the milk, try stirring in cocoa powder for mocha dalgona, chai spice for a cozy twist, or even maple syrup for fall flavors. For the holidays, I love making a peppermint version. Simple Substitutions: Swap white sugar for brown sugar for a deeper flavor, or use decaf instant coffee for an evening treat. Tips For Recipe Success: Always use instant coffee, not ground coffee, for the best foam. Whip in a large bowl or pitcher to incorporate enough air. Serve immediately, or refrigerate the foam separately for later. ![Two tall glass mugs filled with iced milk and topped with whipped coffee foam, placed on a white surface with a beige cloth in the background.

Fridge: Store leftover whipped coffee (without milk) in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Whisk briefly before using. Freezer: Not recommended, foam texture won’t hold. Reheat: If storing foam in the fridge, reheat milk separately (stovetop or microwave) and spoon the foam on top.

Simple Substitutions: Swap white sugar for brown sugar for a deeper flavor, or use decaf instant coffee for an evening treat. Tips For Recipe Success: Always use instant coffee, not ground coffee, for the best foam. Whip in a large bowl or pitcher to incorporate enough air. Serve immediately, or refrigerate the foam separately for later. ![Two tall glass mugs filled with iced milk and topped with whipped coffee foam, placed on a white surface with a beige cloth in the background.

(If whisking by hand, it will take about 15–20 minutes.) - Taste the whipped coffee. It will be strong! Add extra sugar if needed. - Pour hot or cold milk into a glass. For iced coffee, add ice cubes first. 1 cup milk - Spoon the whipped coffee over the milk. Stir well before drinking. #### Storage and Reheating Room Temperature: Best enjoyed right away because the foam will collapse after 30 minutes at room temperature. Fridge: Store leftover whipped coffee (without milk) in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Whisk briefly before using. Freezer: Not recommended, foam texture won’t hold. Reheat: If storing foam in the fridge, reheat milk separately (stovetop or microwave) and spoon the foam on top.
