Dalgona

Dalgona is a delightful Korean snack made from whipped sugar and coffee, known for its sweet, caramel-like flavor and airy texture. Perfectly served over milk, this gluten-free treat is both indulgent and easy to make.

Ingredients

• Granulated sugar - 2 tablespoons (30 grams)
• Instant coffee - 2 tablespoons (10 grams)
• Hot water - 2 tablespoons (30 ml)
• Milk (dairy or plant-based) - 1 cup (240 ml)
• Ice cubes - optional, for serving

Steps

1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons of instant coffee, and 2 tablespoons of hot water.
2. Using a hand mixer or a whisk, whip the mixture on high speed until it becomes light, fluffy, and forms stiff peaks. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
3. Prepare two glasses by filling them with milk and ice cubes if desired.
4. Once the coffee mixture is ready, spoon it over the milk in each glass, creating a beautiful layered effect.
5. Serve immediately, allowing each person to stir the whipped coffee into the milk before enjoying.
