What is Dalgona Coffee?
Dalgona coffee is a perfect whipped coffee that is easy to make. In this coffee, an equal quantity of instant coffee, sugar, and water is whipped to make a light fluffy airy and frothy mixture. Originally this whipped coffee is from South Korea.
History of Dalgona Coffee?
Dalgona was popular in South Korea in 1970 & 80 before the McDonald’s first outlet in 1988. It was like sugar candy. It was created after the Korean war was in 1950 – 53 during which US Army personnel gave out confectionery to local children. Their parents, unable to spare money for such treats, went about trying to make their own versions. (Source)
However, this dalgona coffee is a modified version of their traditional Dalgano tea and coffee. This new modified version is a creamy and rich coffee with frothy whipped coffee on top. Give it a nice stir.
This tastes just like cold version of my homemade CCD style cappuccino.

Dalgona is a South Korean whipped coffee. It resembles the same as Indian beaten coffee or cappuccino coffee. In both coffee forms, coffee and sugar mix are beaten and whipped to the frothy and airy mixture.
The difference is in layering. In hot Indian cappuccino, the base layer is beaten coffee, and milk is poured on it, whereas in Dalgona, the chilled milk is layered with beaten coffee on top of milk.
Only Instant coffee goes best for this dalgona coffee recipe. Powdered coffee won’t be able to do the magic. This is because instant coffee has xantham gum which helps in making it airy when beaten. So for sure try only with instant coffee powder.
And the answer is a simple “No”. I have tried with regular coffee powder and failed miserably. It didn’t turn that thick, creamy, and frothy after beating for 30 minutes with an electric beater.

It’s a simple and easy coffee recipe. This coffee recipe is very much similar to my Indian beaten coffee or cappuccino. The main task is whipping the mixture of coffee and sugar with equal water.
