What is Dalgona Coffee?

Dalgona coffee has been all the rage the past few years by taking over TikTok and Instagram.

Dalgona Coffee is a coffee beverage made by combining instant coffee powder, water, and granulated sugar together with hot or cold milk to create a creamy whipped topping on top of either iced or hot coffee.

What Does Dalgona Mean?

Dalgona is actually a Korean candy also known as “Korean Sponge Candy” and was widely popular after Squid Games came out on Netflix. The word Dalgona translates to “It’s sweet” in English and that couldn’t be any truer.

The Dalgona topping on hot or iced coffee is a whipped, thick, and creamy topping to coffee beverages.

Do You Drink Dalgona Hot or Cold?

Dalgona can be the topping on an iced coffee or a cold coffee. Dalgona Iced Coffee is just as easy to make as Dalgona Hot Coffee.

The difference between the hot and cold versions is that when Dalgona is added to hot coffee, it melts down into the hot drink much like a marshmallow or as you would expect a foam topping to melt.

With the Iced Dalgona Latte topping, it doesn’t melt, instead, it floats on top of the milk mixture and holds together much better.
