What Is Dalgona Coffee?
Dalgona Coffee became a global trend for its whipped, frothy coffee topping over milk. The traditional version uses sugar and instant coffee, but this frozen version incorporates honey and freezes the whipped cream for a cold, indulgent twist. It’s light, airy, and combines the bold taste of coffee with the smoothness of milk for a dessert-like experience.
Pro Tips for Success
- Whip thoroughly: Use a stand mixer or hand mixer for at least 5 minutes to achieve thick, fluffy peaks.
- Use high-quality instant coffee: This ensures a strong, rich coffee flavor.
- Freeze for best texture: Storing the whipped coffee in the freezer allows it to maintain its airy, creamy consistency.
- Serve immediately over milk: For best taste and visual appeal.
- Optional variations: Add cocoa powder, cinnamon, or flavored syrups to the coffee cream for extra flair.
Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make it without freezing?
Yes! Serve the whipped coffee cream immediately over cold milk with ice for a non-frozen version.

How to Store
Store the frozen coffee cream in a wide, airtight container with a lid in the freezer. It keeps well for up to 2 weeks. Thaw for a few minutes at room temperature before serving to slightly soften.
How to Freeze
The whipped coffee cream itself is frozen to create this recipe. After whipping, transfer the cream into a wide container, cover, and store in the freezer until ready to use. This maintains the thick, airy texture for topping cold milk.
