Directions

Make the Whipped Coffee
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the instant coffee, sweetener, and boiling water.
Using a hand mixer on medium speed, beat the mixture for about 2 minutes, or until stiff peaks start to form. The mixture should become thick and silky.
Prepare the Glass
In a glass, add the ice cubes and pour in the almond milk (or coconut milk). Stir in the vanilla extract for extra flavor.
Top with the Whipped Coffee
Spoon the whipped coffee mixture over the cold milk and ice, creating a frothy layer on top.
Serve and Enjoy
For an extra touch, sprinkle chocolate shavings on top for a decorative finish. Stir the whipped coffee into the milk and enjoy!

Servings and Timing

This recipe makes 2 servings. The preparation time is about 5 minutes, and the whipping process takes around 2 minutes. This is a quick, fun, and refreshing drink to make for yourself or share with friends!

Variations

Dairy-Free: For a completely dairy-free version, stick with almond milk, coconut milk, or another plant-based milk of your choice.
Spice it Up: Add a dash of cinnamon, nutmeg, or even a few drops of caramel or hazelnut extract to enhance the flavor.
Iced or Hot: You can adjust the temperature of the milk based on your preference. For a warm version, heat the milk and enjoy a cozy, whipped coffee beverage.

Storage/Reheating

Dalgona coffee is best served immediately after preparing. The whipped coffee topping will lose its fluffiness over time, so it’s recommended to enjoy it right after you make it. If you have leftover whipped coffee, store it in the refrigerator and whip it again before serving.

FAQs

Can I use regular sugar instead of a keto sweetener?

While regular sugar can be used, the recipe is designed to be keto-friendly, so using a sugar substitute like erythritol or monk fruit will keep it low-carb.

Can I make this drink without a hand mixer?

Yes, you can use a whisk, but it will take longer and require more elbow grease. A hand mixer is the most efficient method for achieving the desired frothy texture.

Can I use any type of milk?

Yes, you can use any milk you prefer, but to keep it keto, almond milk or coconut milk are the best options because they are low in carbs.

How can I adjust the sweetness?

If you prefer a sweeter drink, simply increase the amount of sweetener to your taste. Start with 2 tablespoons and add more if needed.

Can I make this ahead of time?

Dalgona coffee is best when freshly made, but you can store the whipped coffee mixture in the fridge for a few hours and then serve it over milk when you’re ready.
