Whipped Dalgona Coffee (Printer-Friendly)

Fluffy whipped instant coffee over milk, ready in 5 minutes for a luxurious café experience at home.

# What You Need:

→ Coffee Mixture

01 - 2 tablespoons instant coffee granules
02 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
03 - 2 tablespoons hot water

→ To Serve

04 - 2 cups milk (dairy or plant-based)
05 - Ice cubes (optional)

# Steps:

01 - In a medium mixing bowl, combine instant coffee, sugar, and hot water.
02 - Whisk vigorously using a hand whisk, electric mixer, or milk frother until the mixture becomes thick, pale, and forms stiff peaks, approximately 2–4 minutes.
03 - Fill two glasses with milk and add ice cubes if desired.
04 - Spoon the whipped coffee mixture evenly over the milk in each glass.
05 - Serve immediately. Stir the whipped coffee into the milk before drinking for best flavor integration.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • The texture alone is worth it, like drinking a coffee cloud that somehow stays suspended in your milk
  • You probably have everything in your pantry right now, no fancy equipment or expensive beans needed
  • Two ingredients transform into something that looks and tastes like a barista made it
02 -
  • An electric mixer will save your arms and produce consistent peaks every time, but hand whisking absolutely works if you need a forearm workout
  • The whipped coffee will eventually deflate, so serve this immediately after making it. It is best enjoyed fresh while those peaks are still proud and tall
03 -
  • If your mixture will not whip, check that you used instant coffee specifically. Regular espresso powder or ground coffee will not work here
  • Room temperature water dissolves everything faster and gives you a head start on the whipping process
