    So I did it. I decided to jump on the bandwagon of the famous Dalgona Coffee and give it a try.  My version  has a light coffee flavor but it is high on caffeine! Here’s my version of it and I hope you enjoy it!

    Why is it called Dalgona Coffee?

    This Dalgona coffee was first discovered in Macau when the famous Korean actor Jung Il-woo tasted a whipped coffee at a small restaurant. He described the coffee’s taste as similar to Dalgona which is a kind of Korean honeycomb toffee. Thus, the said coffee was then named Dalgona coffee.

    Is Dalgona Coffee good?

    Personally, I found it too sweet when I tried making it the first time.  However, once I adjusted the sweetness, it’s delicious- this drink is something I would purchase at a fancy coffee shop.

    What does Dalgona coffee taste like?

    It actually tastes very similar to soft-serve coffee ice cream and it’s like eating whipped cream or the froth when you eat drink coffee that’s just begun to melt.

    Tips on How to Make Dalgona Coffee:

    • When adding water, you must make sure not to add more than two tablespoons of it to the other ingredients.
    • Add flavored creamers to the milk to make different flavor variations.
    • This can served hot by using hot milk and no ice.
    • If you have a stand mixer, it’s faster to make the whipped coffee about 2 minutes. But if not, you can use a hand mixer, about 4-5 minutes.
    • With a stand mixer, use the whisk attachment. With a hand mixer, either a whisk or beater attachment works well.
    • You can use brown sugar instead of white sugar. For the milk, you can use nut milk if you want to make it vegan.

    Frequently Asked Questions for Dalgona Coffee:

    Q: Will the dalgona coffee recipe work with splenda?

    A: I am sure it will work well if you use Splenda. It does the same thing as what sugar does, to sweeten the coffee.

    A: The coffee originated from Macau, which a South Korean actor named after the Korean dalgona.

    Q: Do you need instant coffee to make whipped coffee or can you use coffee grounds?

    Q: Do you think it would work with instant espresso powder?

    A: Yes, for sure. I think it will just result in a stronger taste of the coffee.

    Q: My foam is not forming the stiff peak, should I just whisk longer?

    A: Yes, just continue to whisk it longer to form a creamy peak.
