Dalgona coffee has gone viral lately. Apparently it started in Korea and became a Tiktok sensation. Its a beautiful coffee with nice silky frothy coffee cream on top of ice milk. And the best part is there is no cream or whipped cream. Its only 4 ingredients, coffee, sugar, water and milk. I was so fascinated with it that I tried it myself and yes, its yummy and so refreshing and easy to do. Well with a bit of whisking! This recipe is for those that do not want to use a mixer.
Top tips:
- I use a sieve to whisk the coffee mixture first. Then swap to a whisk. Its easier this way. Alternatively you can use a whisk or a mixer right from the beginning
- Use a round base bowl instead of a plate
- You can add chocolate or milo to your mixture to make Mocha Dalgona Coffee
- When whisking, its up to you whether you want to achieve soft peak or stiff peak for your coffee cream. I prefer soft peak because when you drink the Dalgona Coffee, the coffee cream will slowly absorb into the ice milk.
