You can whip it together with a hand mixer anywhere between 2 to 5 minutes to achieve the thick froth.

This whipped coffee can also be served with warm banana bread, strawberry banana bread, or pecan banana bread. This recipe is originally from South Korea which requires four ingredients, hot water, instant coffee, sugar, and milk.

Dalgona coffee is a beautiful beverage if coffee could be called beautiful. Although aesthetics is a big reason why whipped coffee is so popular on social media (as at the time of this writing, #dalgona coffee had 172 million views on TikTok), and you can see the way it’s made, is quite appealing and went viral.

This recipe is perfect for many coffee lovers who currently live in a holding pattern during the pandemic. It calls for four ingredients most people already have in their kitchen, and the time to make it. But this coffee is good to sip at anytime.

Dalgona coffee tastes like a frappe which gives you a quick hit of energy. You whip the froth for five minutes, instead of the usual 30 seconds. It produces a richer, but labor-intensive drink that is creamier than a frappe.

Although everyone may have their own way of ordering, we all enjoy a good frappe.

The frappe corresponds to the specific Greek word “xalara”. Although “laid back”, or “take it easy” its the easiest translation of xalara, it doesn’t capture the spirit. It’s watching the time go by with a cup of whipped coffee in your hand.

Frappes, like Dalgona whipped espresso, are meant to be enjoyed. Drink too quickly and you will either end up with pure foam. The coffee in the foam can settle into the milk and water mixture.

Therefore, people enjoy frappes mostly over the course of a long conversation –frozen, ideally on the beach, but Zoom chats or virtual game nights will do, as well.

Whipping coffee is easy, but it is worth taking a look at how-to videos on YouTube and TikTok.

It turns out that whipped coffee was well-known all over the world for many years. Dalgona, the Korean term for whipped coffee, is also known as Frappe in Greece or Beaten Coffee in India. Dalgona coffee transcends multiple countries and cultures.

Because of its versatility and convenience, Dalgona Whipped Coffee is a common staple in the world. I like the simplicity and the results of this coffee which makes it a convenient way to quickly make the coffee without a coffee maker.

This rich, creamy and bold combination makes the best cappuccino in just minutes. You can also store or freeze it in a refrigerator for later use.

Mix the mixture in a bowl for about 5-7 minutes, or until it’s mixed like whipped cream and turns a pale caramel color. It may seem impossible at first but the mixture will surprisingly turn into froth.

Once the coffee is at the right consistency, add 1-2 tablespoons to a 8oz glass with cold or iced milk.

Although the coffee mixture will be strong, it can be diluted with milk. For a stronger flavor, use less milk and additional milk to make a lighter flavor. You can add sugar as needed.

For storage: Keep the mixture in an airtight container for up to one week in the refrigerator, or freezer for up 1 month. The mixture should not harden and it will stay creamy and easy to scoop.

How Is Dalgona Coffee? Is It Healthy?

What does a qualified nutritionist think about the current trendy and viral coffee craze? According to Jenna Hope, although very aesthetically pleasing and deliciously tasting, Dalgona coffee is best enjoyed as a treat, not as a replacement for your everyday morning brew. It’s definitely an indulgence, but moderation is healthier in this case.

It’s high in sugar and caffeine with 2 tablespoons per cup. The NHS’s recommendation is not to exceed 30g of sugar daily. She mentioned that two tablespoons of white sugar in traditional Dalgona coffee is equivalent to 83 percent of your recommended daily allowance. Of course, you can leave the sugar out, or replace it with sugar replacement.

What Are the Calories in Dalgona Coffee?

The most common recipe, which calls for two tbsp instant, two tbsp sugar and one cup of fresh whole milk, would yield the following nutritional breakdown:

• 374 calories
• 14g protein
• 9g of fat
• 60g Carbohydrates

Are you looking to reduce the sugar content in your creations? Try using other ingredients. She shares that you can use whipped coconut cream (or whipped aquafaba, the water from canned chickpeas), to make a fluffy consistency and not add sugar.

I am sensitive to caffeine and have already decided that this is not a good fit for me so I will make some adjustments to meet my needs. “Matcha” is an alternative because it contains L-theanine. This slows down the caffeine release, so you don’t experience a high or low spike.

L-theanine promotes the production GABA, which is a neurotransmitter that leaves you feeling relaxed and calm. The antioxidants in green tea powder help remove free radicals that are naturally produced by digestion, exercise, pollution, smoking, and other chemicals.

The Difference between Whipped Coffee and Dalgona Coffee?

Both coffee types are two different ways and names to describe the same coffee beverage. In India, Pakistan, and China, the coffee, sugar, and water mixture is known as a whipped coffee. It has also been used for many years in Korea where it’s gaining the current trending popularity.

The Takeaway

To me the Dalgona coffee trend is not phase, or a temporary trend. This coffee has been around as variations of the whipped cream coffee beverage for a long time before the TikTok phenomenon. Going viral on TikTok brought the great tasting Dalgona coffee to the rest of us who did not know how wonderful this whipped coffee really is.
