Dalgona Whipped Coffee (Iced or Hot) Fluffy, Frothy, and Made to Impress ☁️☕

— Your Coffee, Whipped Into a Creamy Cloud

Dalgona Whipped Coffee is the drink that launched a thousand TikToks — and for good reason. It turns instant coffee into a velvety, mousse-like topping you can spoon over hot or cold milk for a rich, café-style drink with no machine required.

Whether you want a chilled afternoon sip or a warm morning pick-me-up, this recipe works both ways — fast, easy, and ridiculously good.

Ingredients (Serves 1)

• 2 tbsp instant coffee (or instant espresso powder)
• 2 tbsp sugar (white or brown)
• 2 tbsp hot water
• 1 cup milk (hot or cold — dairy or plant-based)
• Optional: ice (for iced version), vanilla extract, cinnamon, or cocoa for garnish

Instructions

Step 1: Whip the Coffee

1. In a bowl, combine instant coffee, sugar, and hot water.
2. Whip using a hand whisk, milk frother, or electric mixer for 2–4 minutes until light, fluffy, and holds soft peaks. The texture should look like coffee mousse.

Step 2: Prepare the Milk

• For Iced Version: Fill a glass with ice, pour in cold milk, and leave space for the topping.
• For Hot Version: Heat milk until steaming, then pour into your favorite mug. You can also froth the milk for extra texture.

Step 3: Assemble and Enjoy

1. Spoon the whipped coffee over your milk.
2. Optional: Sprinkle with cinnamon, cocoa powder, or a tiny pinch of sea salt.
3. Stir before drinking, or sip as-is to enjoy the layered contrast.

Flavor Variations

🍯 Honey Vanilla Dalgona

• Swap sugar for honey
• Add a splash of vanilla to the milk

🍫 Mocha Dalgona

• Add 1 tsp cocoa powder to the coffee before whipping
• Use chocolate milk or drizzle chocolate syrup inside the glass

❄️ Spiced Iced Dalgona

• Add cinnamon, nutmeg, or pumpkin spice to the whip
• Great over oat milk or almond milk for extra warmth

Pro Tips

• Use instant coffee or espresso powder — ground coffee won’t whip
• Stick with equal parts coffee, sugar, and water for perfect structure
• Whip just before serving — the foam holds for about 20–30 minutes max
• For stronger flavor, whip with less sugar or serve over cold brew instead of milk

Final Thoughts

Dalgona Whipped Coffee is pure drinkable texture — light, creamy, and packed with bold coffee flavor. It’s the kind of morning upgrade that feels fancy but takes less than five minutes. Hot or iced, it’s a café trick you’ll keep coming back to.

One whisk. One cloud. One very good cup of coffee. ☁️☕🧊🔥
