Dalgona Coffee also known as whipped coffee, Frappe Coffee (Greek), Beaten Coffee (Indian) is the BEST thing ever! It’s only 3 ingredients! It’s fluffy and incredibly delicious , and takes only 5 minutes with a hand mixer!
You must be wondering why it is named ‘Dalgona Coffee’? Well, In South Korea whipped coffee is called as Dalgona Coffee as it is similar to the Korean honeycomb toffee. And, thus the name!
Dalgona coffee is like a Cappuccino turned on its head, with the frothy coffee on top and the milk underneath. It only requires three ingredients to make and you can have it hot or cold. The hardest part is getting your picture just right!
So this is how we make dalgona coffee:
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons instant coffee
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons hot/warm water
- 1 cup milk (warm/cold)
- Ice cubes for cold milk(optional)
Procedure
1. Add the coffee, sugar and hot/warm water in a bowl (you can easily double or triple this recipe). Using a mixer, whip on the mixture.
2. Whip the mixture for about 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides and whip any bits that didn’t get whipped. Whip until it is light brown, fluffy and holds stiff peaks when the whisk is removed.

3. Spoon the fluffy mixture over milk in a glass filled with ice. (You could also spoon it over warm milk for a hot drink.) Stir carefully to combine. Enjoy!!
Point to note
Use only Instant Coffee Powder to make beaten coffee.
If making small amount, you can use a milk frother to beat the coffee.
You can store the beaten coffee in refrigerator for up to 7 days. But do not freeze.
You can store your whipped coffee for a week in an air-tight container.
