Dalgona Whipped Coffee
Instant coffee, sugar, and hot water whipped together into a thick, glossy foam that is spooned over cold milk. The striking two-tone drink tastes like a creamy caramel coffee and takes only minutes to make.
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp instant coffee granules
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp hot water (just boiled)
- 2 cups cold whole milk (or oat milk for dairy-free)
- 2 cups ice cubes
Instructions
-
1
Combine 2 tbsp instant coffee granules, 2 tbsp granulated sugar, and 2 tbsp hot water (just boiled) in a medium bowl. The amounts must be equal — this ratio is essential for the foam to form.

2
Using a hand mixer, electric whisk, or a sturdy manual whisk, whip the mixture vigorously until it becomes thick, pale, and holds stiff peaks. This takes about 2 minutes with an electric mixer or 5 to 7 minutes by hand.
-
3
Fill two glasses with 2 cups ice cubes and pour 2 cups cold whole milk (or oat milk for dairy-free) over the ice, filling each glass about three-quarters full.
-
4
Spoon the whipped coffee foam generously on top of each glass.

5
Stir before drinking to combine the foam and milk. Serve immediately.
