Make it like a pro.
- 01
Combine instant coffee, sugar, and hot water in a medium bowl.
- 02
Whip with an electric mixer for three to five minutes, or vigorously by hand for eight to 12 minutes, until thick, glossy, and able to hold soft peaks.
- 03
Fill a glass with ice and milk, spoon the whipped coffee on top, and stir thoroughly before drinking.
Easy swaps
- Use one tablespoon each coffee, sugar, and water for a lighter foam with half the added sugar.
- Choose unsweetened almond milk to reduce calories and natural sugar.
- Regular ground coffee will not whip; use instant coffee or instant espresso.
Mixpert tips
- A wide bowl gives a whisk more room to incorporate air.
- The foam tastes concentrated on its own, so stir it into the milk before sipping.
Whipped Dalgona Coffee questions
Why is my dalgona coffee not whipping?+
Use instant coffee and equal volumes of coffee, sugar, and hot water. Ground coffee and brewed coffee do not create the same stable foam.
Can I make dalgona coffee without sugar?+
Sugar stabilizes the foam. Some granulated sugar substitutes can work, but the volume and staying power may be lower.
