What’s Dalgona?

Dalgona is a Korean street food that is kind of caramel snack made by mixing sugar and baking soda and heating it over fire. When I was younger, I used to buy a piece of dalgona on a street or go to a stationery shop which sold ready-made dalgona at that time. Probably, dalgona is a snack of memories to Koreans. Actually, the brown whipped cream from dalgona coffee is not real dagona. Its texture and color are very similar to dalgona so that’s why Korean started to call “Dalgona Coffee”

How to make Dalgona Coffee

It’s very simple to make Dalgona Coffee. You just need 4 ingredients. Instant coffee (or espresso powder), sugur, hot water and milk. The most important thing is each ingredients’ ratio!

Step 1. Add instant coffee (or espresso powder), sugar, hot water to a wide bowl. Here the ratio of all ingredients is 1:1:1. * If you want a perfect creamy whipped cream like many Korean video, this 1:1:1 ratio is really important!

Step 2. Whip the mixture with a spoon until it gets light brown and creamy texture. Even if you can’t see any difference compared to the beginning, don’t give up. Just keep going. (Actually, you can use an electric hand-held mixer which is a lot easier than original way)

Step 3. Serve the dalgona cream on the top of milk.

Step 4. Before you enjoy, mix the whipped dalgona cream and milk! The whipped coffee cream is pretty bitter and strong itself.
