If you’re not on TikTok, you might be wondering what this dalgona coffee is all about, but if you are on it, you already know – this is the drink that everyone went crazy for since last year!

Dalgona coffee, or whipped coffee, is a special drink that is so fun to make. Iced milk is topped with sweetened whipped coffee for a delicious drink that only takes a few minutes to make. It looks like a fancy (and expensive!) cafe drink, but it’s so simple to make.

Why This Recipe Works

• You only need three ingredients plus hot water and ice for this drink.
• It’s made with instant coffee that is sweetened with sugar – this makes it quick and easy to make.
• I’m sharing all the tips, so it turns out great every time you make it.

This is easy enough to make in the morning, but I love to make one in the afternoon. It’s the perfect way to perk up, especially if you add a banana muffin to go with it!

Not into coffee drinks? You should try my whipped hot chocolate, which is inspired by this recipe but doesn’t have any caffeine.

Ingredients

• Granulated sugar
• Instant coffee granules
• Hot water – it doesn’t need to be boiling hot. Steaming hot works fine.
• Ice
• Milk – any kind of milk will work for this recipe.

How to Make It

Combine the sugar and instant coffee in a mixing bowl.

Add the hot water and then immediately whisk the mixture on medium-high speed for two to four minutes or until it has doubled in volume and is light and airy like a mousse.

Fill a glass with ice and add the milk leaving room to add the creamy coffee.

Scoop some of the coffee mixture and float it on top of the milk. Add a straw and serve right away.

Treats to Go with It

Add one of these sweet treats to go with your drink!

• Pair it with a Cranberry Cream Cheese Muffin or Chocolate Chip Muffin.
• For breakfast, you can’t go wrong with a Cinnamon Roll Muffin or slice of Crumb Cake.
• Or, treat yourself to an Oatmeal Raisin Cookie or White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookie for an afternoon snack with your drink.

Cook ModePrevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

• In a medium bowl or stand mixer bowl, combine sugar and instant coffee. Add the hot water to mixture. Immediately whisk on medium-high speed until it is light and airy. It should double in volume and be a shiny and smooth mixture with a mousse-like structure. This will take about 2-4 minutes. You can also use a whisk if you don’t have a mixer but it will take at least 10 minutes and up to 20 minutes to get the same result.
• Fill a glass with ice and pour milk over ice. Using a rubber spatula or cookie scoop top the milk with the whipped coffee mixture. Serve immediately with a straw.

Tips

The easiest way to make this drink is with either a stand mixer or hand mixer. You can use a whisk to whip it by hand, but it will take 10 to 20 minutes. With a mixer, it takes less than five minutes.

You can enjoy the drink as its served, or you can stir the creamy whipped topping into the milk. Stirring it definitely dilutes the strong flavor.

You can save the extra whipped coffee. It will keep in the refrigerator for a day or so.
