Iced Dalgona Coffee ☁️🧊 Bold, Frothy, and Insta-Ready

— A Whipped Coffee Cloud Over Ice-Cold Milk

Iced Dalgona Coffee is a chilled spin on the viral whipped coffee trend — strong, fluffy instant coffee foam layered over ice and milk.

It’s creamy, caffeinated, and surprisingly easy to make with just a few ingredients and a whisk. Sip it as-is for a flavor contrast, or stir it up for a smooth, sweet iced latte.

Ingredients (Serves 1)

• 2 tbsp instant coffee (or instant espresso powder)
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 2 tbsp hot water
• ¾ cup milk or milk alternative (cold)
• Ice

Optional Toppings

• Cocoa powder, cinnamon, or vanilla extract
• Chocolate syrup or caramel drizzle
• Crushed cookies or cacao nibs

Instructions

Step 1: Whip the Coffee

1. In a bowl, combine instant coffee, sugar, and hot water.
2. Whip using a hand whisk, electric mixer, or milk frother until thick and fluffy — about 2–4 minutes.
3. It should hold soft peaks and have a caramel-like color.

Step 2: Build the Iced Drink

1. Fill a glass with ice.
2. Pour in the cold milk, leaving some room at the top.
3. Spoon the whipped coffee over the milk.

Step 3: Serve

1. Garnish with cocoa powder or cinnamon if desired.
2. Stir before drinking — or sip through the layers for a bold first hit.

Flavor Variations

🍫 Mocha Dalgona

• Add 1 tsp cocoa powder to the whipped coffee mixture
• Drizzle chocolate syrup in the glass

🍯 Vanilla Dalgona

• Add ½ tsp vanilla extract to the milk
• Sweeten with honey or flavored syrup instead of sugar

🌶 Spiced Dalgona

• Add cinnamon, nutmeg, or cardamom to the whip
• Great with oat or almond milk

Pro Tips

• Use instant coffee only — ground coffee will not whip
• Chill the milk ahead of time for extra refreshment
• For stronger flavor, use less milk or more coffee whip
• Serve immediately — the foam holds for about 20–30 minutes

Final Thoughts

Iced Dalgona Coffee is creamy, layered, and refreshingly bold — a café-style drink you can make in minutes with ingredients you already have. Whether you whip it by hand or let the mixer do the work, it’s equal parts drink and show.
