Dalgona Coffee Recipe – Whipped Frappe Coffee with Chocolate Syrup for the Perfect Café-Style Treat

on

If you’re craving a café-style drink at home, Dalgona Coffee (also known as whipped coffee or frappe coffee) is the ultimate treat. This fluffy, frothy creation became a global sensation during the lockdown, and for good reason—it’s delicious, easy, and incredibly photogenic. Made with instant coffee, sugar, and water, then whipped into a creamy cloud and layered over milk, it’s the perfect drink for coffee lovers who enjoy a bit of indulgence. Whether served hot or iced, this recipe transforms simple pantry ingredients into something extraordinary.

Originating from South Korea, Dalgona Coffee gets its name from the nostalgic Korean street candy “dalgona,” which has a similar caramel-like taste and frothy appearance. This viral coffee trend swept across social media, especially on TikTok and Instagram, where millions of people whisked, whipped, and shared their creations. What makes this drink so special is its contrast of textures and flavors—the airy, bittersweet foam balanced with creamy milk underneath. It’s also versatile: you can use regular or decaf instant coffee, enjoy it with hot or cold milk, and even drizzle in chocolate syrup for a mocha-inspired twist. Best of all, you can make a batch ahead of time, freeze the whipped topping, and have café-style coffee ready in minutes.

Key Ingredients & Their Roles

  • Instant Coffee → Provides the bold, strong flavor that whips into a stable foam. Decaf instant coffee also works if you want a caffeine-free version.
  • Sugar → Essential for stabilizing the foam, giving it body and sweetness. You can adjust the sweetness level or swap with alternatives like coconut sugar.
  • Water → Helps dissolve the coffee and sugar so they can whip into a thick, airy cream. Use hot water for faster whipping, but cold water works too.
  • Milk (hot or cold) → Balances the strong coffee flavor with creaminess. Both dairy and plant-based milks (almond, oat, soy) work beautifully.
  • Chocolate Syrup (optional) → Adds a rich, mocha-like sweetness and enhances presentation when drizzled on the glass.

    • Stir before drinking for the perfect balance of creamy milk and frothy coffee.

Tips & Ingredient Substitutions

  • Vegan option: Use almond, oat, soy, or coconut milk.
  • Low-sugar option: Replace sugar with erythritol, monk fruit, or coconut sugar (note: texture may vary).
  • Flavor variations: Add a dash of vanilla extract or cinnamon to the milk.
  • Make ahead: Whipped coffee can be frozen in an airtight container and thawed for later use.
  • Time-saving tip: Use an electric frother instead of a whisk for faster whipping.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ Section)

Q1: Can I make Dalgona Coffee without a blender?
Yes! You can whisk it by hand (takes around 8–10 minutes) or use an electric hand mixer for faster results.

Q2: Can I use decaf coffee?
Absolutely. Decaf instant coffee works perfectly and gives the same frothy texture without caffeine.

Q3: Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes. The whipped topping can be stored in the fridge for 2–3 days or frozen for up to a month.

Q4: Do I have to use sugar?
Sugar stabilizes the foam, but you can reduce it or substitute with sweeteners like honey or maple syrup (though texture may differ).
