Cafe-Quality at Home! ☕️ Easy & Sweet Dalgona Coffee Recipe
Beat the Heat with This Sweet & Refreshing Dalgona Coffee!
I made this wonderfully sweet and refreshing Dalgona coffee for my mom, who absolutely loves coffee. It’s a delightful treat that brings a taste of the cafe right to your kitchen.
Main Ingredients- 500ml Fresh Milk (Prepare chilled or warm, according to your preference)
Dalgona Topping Ingredients (1:1:1 Ratio)- 1 Tablespoon Granulated Sugar
- 1 Tablespoon Instant Coffee Powder
- 1 Tablespoon Warm Water
- 1 Tablespoon Granulated Sugar
- 1 Tablespoon Instant Coffee Powder
- 1 Tablespoon Warm Water
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare 1 tablespoon of warm water in a bowl or cup where you’ll make the Dalgona topping. (Using water that is too cold or too hot might prevent the sugar and coffee from dissolving properly.)
Step 2
Measure out 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar. Regular white sugar works perfectly. (Feel free to adjust the amount to your taste.)
Step 3
Measure 1 tablespoon of instant coffee powder. Any type of instant coffee will work, but using one with a rich aroma will make your coffee even more delicious. (Ensure the ratio of water, sugar, and coffee powder is 1:1:1!)
Step 4
Combine the water, sugar, and coffee powder in your bowl. Whisk vigorously with a hand mixer or a whisk until stiff peaks form. It will start thin, but with continuous whisking, it will transform into a thick, rich brown foam. It’s crucial to whisk until the foam is firm enough to hold its shape and form peaks. (This typically takes about 5-7 minutes. Your arm might get tired, but it’s worth it for delicious coffee!)
Step 5
Once the whipping is complete, use a spatula to gently scrape down any Dalgona foam clinging to the sides of the bowl. This makes it easier to scoop onto the milk later.
Step 6
Now, it’s time to pour the milk into your serving cup. You can use cold milk or warm milk; both are delicious. Fill the cup about two-thirds full with milk, adjusting the amount to your preferred strength.
Step 7
Finally, carefully spoon the freshly whipped Dalgona foam on top of the milk. Gently placing it with a spoon or spatula will create a beautifully layered Dalgona coffee.
Step 8
Enjoy the fantastic combination of the sweet and slightly bitter Dalgona coffee with the smooth milk! You’ll love sipping the milk from the bottom while scooping the sweet, creamy Dalgona foam from the top. It’s the perfect homemade cafe treat!
