It’s incredibly easy to make at home and calls for just a few simple ingredients – instant coffee, sugar and water! Mix with your favourite type of milk and ice for a refreshing treat. No fancy coffee machine required.
A few weeks ago my friend Dea sent me a recipe that was doing the rounds on Tik Tok. It was a creamy, whipped coffee drink that looked really delicious but left me wondering if it really was that easy.
Since I am completely crazy for anything to do with coffee, I just had to try it out. I can confirm that it is no gimmick – it really does work. The Tik Tok video has been viewed over 12 million times!
This whipped coffee drink is so simple to make absolutely anyone can make it with a few storecupboard ingredients.
ingredient list
- Instant coffee. It must be instant – it won’t work without it!
- White sugar
- Hot Water
- Milk
- Ice Cubes
how to make dalgona cofffee
- In a medium bowl, whip together the instant coffee, sugar and hot water until the mixture is thick and holds soft peaks. I recommend using an electric whisk – it can be done by hand, but it takes a good few minutes to whip up!
- Whisk the mixture until thick and creamy. It should be able to hold a soft peak. It takes a few minutes to reach this stage, so if you think it’s not going to work, have faith and keep going!
- Fill a large glass with ice cubes and milk. Top with the whipped coffee and serve immediately.
Can i use vegan milk?
Yes! You can use any type of milk including almond, soya, oat or coconut milk.
make it boozy!
After toppping the milk with the whipped coffee, stir in 1-2 tablespoons of your favourite tipple – I love whipped coffee with Kahlua (coffee Liqueur), but Baileys, whisky or any chocolate/salted caramel Liqueur would also work very well.

Ingredients
- 2 tbsp instant coffee
- 2 tbsp white sugar
