How to SUCCESSFULLY Make Whipped Korean Dalgona Coffee

Whipped coffee, or Korean Dalgona coffee, has taken over our feeds by storm.

*Almost* everyone is making, or has tried to make, this fluffy inverted latte during quarantine. If you’re like us, you had a few unsuccessful attempts before you made anything remotely similar to those light caramel brown clouds-in-a-cup you’ve been seeing on TikTok.

Don’t worry, we took the guesswork out of it and broke it down to a few foolproof steps.

Ingredients (Makes 1-2 servings):

2 tablespoons of instant coffee (Tip: Regular ground coffee won’t work as well)
2 tablespoons of boiling water
2 tablespoons of sugar
1 cup of milk (Tip: Reg, almond, soy, oat, go wild!)

Step 1:

Add the instant coffee, sugar, and boiling water into a bowl. Use an open bowl as opposed to a cup or small container.

Step 2 (IF YOU’RE NOT GOING TO READ ANYTHING ELSE, READ THIS STEP):

Using a hand whisk, whip the ingredients together until fluffy. HERE is where a lot of people get stuck. You’ll need to use a zig-zagging motion to get the texture you’re looking for and you’ll have to be patient and you’re going to have to whisk sort of aggressively We started to reach a bit of fluffiness around the 6 minute mark with this motion.
