If you live on planet earth with an Internet connection, it would have been very hard to miss out on this 2020 instant coffee trend. This is everything you'll need to make it by yourself.
What is Dalgona Coffee?
In short, Dalgona Coffee is a popular nickname for the now trendy whipped instant coffee drink. The name derives from the traditional South Korean street toffee-like candy, Dalgona. First social media posts portraying people making the mesmerizing instant coffee drink appeared in South Korea in early March during the COVID-19 quarantine. As described in the Los Angeles Times article from March 2020, “one of the ways Koreans are staying connected is by trying their hand at making dalgona iced coffee and posting about it online.”
Since then, Dalgona Coffee has taken social media by a storm with millions of recipe videos shared on YouTube, TikTok and Instagram. Following the viral trend, there were attempts whipping other ingredients such as matcha and even Strawberry Milk.
How to make whipped instant coffee
To make Dalgona Coffee, you'll need equal parts of instant coffee, granulated sugar and boiling water. For 2 servings, use 2 tbsp of each.
- First combine the instant coffee and sugar in a bowl, then add the hot water.
- Using a hand mixer, by hand or with a stand mixer whip the ingredients for about three minutes, or until the foam is lightened in color and creamy. If mixed by hand, this will take longer time.
- From there, spoon the creamy mixture atop two glasses filled with milk and ice. Add toppings such as, cookie crumbles, cinnamon powder, cacao powder or chocolate chips if desired.
- Slightly mix the coffee and milk and enjoy!
