Mocha Dalgona Coffee: Frothy, Chocolaty, and Caffeinated 🍫☕

— A Whipped Mocha You Can Make in Minutes

Mocha Dalgona Coffee is your perfect upgrade to the classic whipped coffee — rich chocolate folded into that signature fluffy coffee cloud, spooned over hot or cold milk for a drink that hits like a dessert with a buzz.

No espresso machine. No café line.

Just instant coffee, cocoa, and your favorite milk turned into a layered mocha moment.

Ingredients (Serves 1)

• 2 tbsp instant coffee (or instant espresso powder)
• 1 tbsp sugar (or to taste)
• 1 tbsp cocoa powder (unsweetened)
• 2 tbsp hot water
• 1 cup milk (cold or steamed — dairy or plant-based)
• Optional toppings: shaved chocolate, cinnamon, whipped cream, or a pinch of sea salt

Instructions

Step 1: Whip the Mocha Foam

1. In a bowl, combine instant coffee, sugar, cocoa powder, and hot water.
2. Whisk by hand, use a milk frother, or beat with a handheld mixer for 2–4 minutes until thick, glossy, and fluffy.

Step 2: Prepare the Milk

1. Pour hot or cold milk into a glass or mug.
2. Leave space at the top for the mocha foam layer.

Step 3: Assemble and Serve

1. Spoon the whipped mocha foam on top of the milk.
2. Garnish with chocolate shavings, cocoa powder, or cinnamon if desired.
3. Stir before drinking or sip as-is to enjoy the texture contrast.

Flavor Variations

🍯 Honey Mocha Dalgona

• Swap sugar for honey
• Add a splash of vanilla or a pinch of cardamom

🌶 Spicy Mocha Dalgona

• Add a dash of cayenne or chili powder to the whip
• Garnish with cinnamon or a twist of orange zest

🧊 Iced Mocha Dalgona

• Use cold milk over ice as the base
• Perfect for hot afternoons or a sweet caffeine jolt

🥥 Coconut Mocha

• Use coconut milk
• Add a pinch of shredded coconut or coconut sugar to the whip

Pro Tips

• Use fine instant coffee for the best whip texture
• Cocoa makes the whip slightly thicker — adjust water by a few drops if needed
• Whipped topping holds best for about 20–30 minutes, so serve soon after whipping
• Froth your milk separately if you want a more latte-like texture
