Weekend treats consist of steaming hot coffee and lazy hours reading or watching box sets. If you are missing coffee shop treats then my Dalgona Coffee Recipe will give you the caffeine hit you want at a fraction of the price and with no need to leave home! This whipped coffee drink is simple and delicious to make at home. It will impress guests and what’s more it tastes as good as it looks.
This Dalgona coffee recipe is the best pick me up and you only need your usual instant coffee and sugar to create those whipped peaks. You could even experiment by adding a few drops of your favourite syrup, hello caramel or dusting with a few biscuit crumbs for utmost indulgence.
What is Dalgona Coffee?
If you haven’t heard of Dalgona coffee where have you even been in recent weeks? The new drink started off on Tik Tok and Instagram before becoming the drink of the season! It is a great treat especially whilst we are in lockdown and self-isolation and when we are missing life’s little luxuries. This is guaranteed to hit the spot and become a firm favourite now and once life returns to normal. I am especially missing my coffee shop visits, it was a weekly ritual after our Friday Iron Zuu session.
Dalgona coffee is a drink made by whipping equal proportions of instant coffee powder, sugar, and hot water until it becomes creamy and then adding it to cold or hot milk. Occasionally, it is topped with coffee powder, cocoa, crumbled biscuits, or honey.
If your children also want a weekend treat this can be made with decaf coffee or make my chocolate whipped Nesquik drink as an alternative. To get the whole coffee shop experience pop a batch of Nutella Chocolate Twists in the oven before you start to make the steaming hot whipped coffee. It will be heaven on earth!
