Dalgona Coffee Recipe | How to Make Whipped Coffee | Frothy Coffee
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Instant coffee
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Hot water
- ½ cup 120ml Milk of your choice
- 2-3 Ice cubes
Instructions
- DIRECTIONS1. In a large mixing bowl place coffee, sugar and hot water (1:1:1 ratio). 2. Using a hand mixer or electric mixer, whisk until thick and creamy. 3. Fill only 3/4 of a cup with cold milk and add ice cubes. 4. Top it up with foamy whipped coffee. Mix well before drink. Enjoy! Notes:
- Do I have to use sugar? The sugar helps the coffee whip to a fluffy and stable texture that holds its shape for a while. You can reduce sugar amount, but I’m not sure it will be so fluffy. If you’re really sensitive to sugar, you can reduce it down, just know that your coffee won’t be as fluffy.
- What kind of milk to use: You can use cow’s milk, dairy free milk such as almond milk, oat milk or any other kind of milk that you prefer.
- Can I make Dalgona coffee without electric mixer? Yes, you can whip the coffee using a regular whisk, it may take a little bit more time, but it absolutely possible.
HOW TO DRINK DALGONA COFFEE?
After whipping the coffee, whisk it with a good amount of milk (any milk would work). Make sure yuo are whisking well and not leaving the whipped part at the top, otherwise the coffee will be bitter.Â
CAN DALGONA COFFEE BE MADE WITHOUT SUGAR?
To make the best dalgona coffee yo can use granulated white sugar, brown sugar, raw sugar, coconut sugar. If you prefer a sugar-free version, you can omit the sugar, the coffee will still whip up, but the results will not be as fluffy. So, I would not recommend skipping sugar completely, but maybe using just onr tablespoon instead.Â
WHAT COFFEE IS THE BEST FOR DALGONA COFFEE?
The best coffee for frothy dalgona coffee is granulated instant coffee. Some recipes say that you can use powdered inatant coffee or instant espresso powdered, I find that granulated instant coffee gives the best results and would not recommend using any other coffee.Â
HOT MILK OR COLD MILK?
To make ehipped dalgona coffee you can use any milk that you like, hot or cold. They both work the same. If you use cold milk, I would recommend adding ice.Â

We used an immersion blender with this, and it came out more as syrup than the beautiful foam. Did we not do it long enough, or is it recommended to use a mixer instead?
It needs the whisk not the flat blade of the blender. You can use a hand mixer, the kitchen aid mixer.
Can u substitute brown sugar?
Yes, you can use brown sugar.

Can you froth it by hand?
No
It says in the beginning that you can and another person commented, that they did it by hand too. So Johnny here is wrong.
I used brown sugar and instant coffee crystals with my milk frother and it worked perfectly, totally delicious and so easy!
I just checked the instant coffee recommended serving, though, and it said to use 2 tsp for 12 oz. water, so I’ll see if I’m vibrating from a 3x dose in my cup!
