Steps
Add all the coffee, sugar and boiling water in a bowl (you can easily double or triple this recipe). Using a hand mixer or stand mixer and whip on one of the higher speeds.
Whip the entire mixture for about 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides and whip any bits that didn't get whipped.
Taste (it'll be very strong! But of course diluted with your milk) and add more sugar IF desired. I've seen some people add another tablespoon of sugar, but it was fine for me. Remember it'll be diluted with the milk!
Add the coffee to a tall glass (about 8 ounces/1 cup) of your favourite milk. I've tried it with soy milk, almond and oat milk. If you're doing iced, add a few ice cubes, then the milk, then spoon the whipped coffee on top. If using hot, just add it to the glass.
Using your spoon or straw, stir vigorously to swirl it into your milk.
Sip and enjoy! Also take a photo 😉

Fiona Grime on 2026-08-08 (5 stars): Love this 🥰, I shall be making it again. I might try using Demerara sugar next time. 😋 ☕️
PaperDollDiary on 2026-07-19 (5 stars): I finally tried making Dalgona coffee after seeing it everywhere last year! Your tip about using instant coffee instead of grounds made all the difference. The mixture really needs to reach stiff peaks, which took me about 5 minutes with a whisk. It’s such a comforting treat on rainy days. I actually ended up setting up a little crafting corner while I waited for the coffee to cool, which was the perfect relaxing combo. Thanks for sharing your tricks on avoiding lumps, they really helped me get that smooth foam texture. Would love to know if you have tips for making a vegan version with oat milk!
Tarun Kumar on 2026-05-08 (4 stars): Loved this recipe and the detailed tips section! The explanation about why instant coffee works best was especially helpful. Dalgona coffee became such a huge trend, but your version makes it feel approachable and easy to recreate at home. I also liked the suggestions for pairing it with different breads and desserts. Definitely trying this with oat milk next time. Thanks for sharing such a fun and comforting coffee recipe!
Kim on 2026-05-03 (5 stars): I use this to top my brownies. My kids and grandsons love it.
Amanda on 2026-04-19 (5 stars): this is so tasty and easy to make! i've had it a few times and would recommend
Meeper on 2026-04-06 (5 stars): So, I have a mixer but I didn't feel like getting it out, so instead I just used the whisks from my mixer and rolled it between my palms and it worked! It definately didn't take me 8-15 minutes like if I whisked it traditionally, and I would say it took roughly 5 minutes tops! This was so good! 10/10
