Dalgona Coffee Recipe

If you have been online in the past year, you have likely come across the whipped coffee trend. Maybe, like us, you've wondered how difficult it is to make. Perhaps you have wanted to try out the fluffy treat. Well, now is your chance! Along with Mashed, U.K.-based food blogger Susan Olayinka, who shares recipes on The Flexible Fridge, has put together and quick and easy recipe for Dalgona coffee — or whipped coffee — that as she told us, "is honestly so good and even more fun to make." She adds, "I'm sold! This feels like such a luxury to make at home."   

Indeed, you can "whip" this up at home anytime, since as Olayinka explains, "all that's needed is whipping the coffee, sugar, hot water — and that's it!" Meanwhile, for those who aren't familiar with the viral coffee hack, she notes, "I would describe Dalgona coffee as a very indulgent latte — it's absolutely delicious."

What are you waiting for?

With a few very easy steps, you are all set to sip your sweet Dalgona coffee and feel like you are hanging out in a chic coffee house but in the comfort of your own kitchen, without even changing out of your pajamas. Just us? Add the equal parts instant coffee, white sugar, and hot water to a bowl, with Olayinka advising that a bowl with high sides works best here: "It can easily spill over when you are whisking the coffee," she notes.

Next, you will whisk your coffee mixture with the hand foamer or electric whisk for five full minutes, non-stop. Talk about a great forearm workout! Over time, Olayinka says, "You will notice the color gets light and the texture thicker." You will also notice that soft peaks have formed. 

And now, the coffee foam is ready to add to your milk of choice.
