Recipe Notes

DALGONA RECIPE TIPS:

  1. Use only instant granulated coffee for this recipe, to instant espresso, and not a 3 in 1 mix.
  2. Decaf of flavoured instant coffee work as well.
  3. Also use granulated sugar or granulated sugar substitute, avoid powdered sugars.
  4. You can make the recipe sugar free, however remember the whipped coffee will deflate within minutes, so make and use it right away!
  5. Adding collagen to the dalgona recipe makes it extra good for you without affecting the texture or the taste of your whipped coffee.
  6. Use quality collagen such as GLG Collagen Hydrolysate.
  7. An electric mixer is your best bet for whipping the coffee really fluffy and in no time with minimal work.
  8. f you don’t have an electric mixer, you can use a hand frother or a whisk and fluff the coffee.
  9. The Dalgona recipe is delicious over cold milk or hot milk equally!
  10. The type of milk you use is your choice, oat , almond or coconut milk if you like.
  11. Regular, low fat or fat free milk and lactose free milk all work the same here! I find myself using oat milk even though I’m not vegan, but I love the creamy taste of it with whipped coffee.
  12. The best way to stop the whipped coffee over your milk is using an ice cream scoop.
  13. However a large spoon can do the trick.
  14. When making variations such as the Matcha Dalgona or Mocha Dalgona, pay attention to the different ingredients and process (mentioned above and below).
  15. Remember that the original classic Dalgona will always have the best whip and will keep the whip for hours, while other versions may deflate quicker, but still taste fabulous!
  16. Store leftover whipped coffee in a container for hours or two days, but use a whisk to whip it back before using.
  17. This recipe is just as wonderful over hot milk! Just remove the ice form the recipe ingredients and use hot milk instead of cold.
  18. ENJOY!!
