I have made this coffee often, although funny thing is I did not know it was called “Dalgona Coffee” until recently. Interestingly that now it seems to be all the rage because everyone is staying at home and making their own “frothy” coffee drinks.

The recipe for dalgona whipped coffee can be traced back to South Korea. The coffee gets its name from a popular street toffee from Korea.

I often make this on my sailboat because it is delicious, quick, easy and all you need is a bowl, a whisk and some muscle power. So give it a try.

Whisk vigorously together coffee, sugar, and hot water until frothy.

Note

Traditionally, the coffee drink includes sugar and that is the recipe here and how I prepare it for guests when entertaining.

I do try to eliminate sugar from my diet, so I make mine without the sugar and it isn’t as thick, but still very delicious. I replace the sugar with a little cinnamon and coco powder in the coffee and water mixture, prior to whisking.

If I am serving this to guests I serve the coffee with a dainty cookie or classic french madeleine to impress. Enjoy!

Pour coffee foam over milk and enjoy!
