This Dalgona iced coffee has a special twist since I added French Vanilla syrup to it! If you don’t want to add the syrup, you don’t have to, since you can simply make the original version without it. You can also omit the ice and make it a hot beverage by heating up the milk!
Did you know that Dalgona coffee is the viral drink everyone’s making during the Covid-19 pandemic? With the promotion by governments to self- isolate and use social distancing, people are baking and cooking more at home and also using off-the-shelf ingredients to make food and beverages. Dalgona coffee is actually whipped coffee that is similar to a toffee-like texture when whipped into foam.
How Did The Dalgona Coffee Craze Start?
Dalgona coffee (Korean Coffee) is all the rage on TikTok, Youtube, Instagram, and Facebook social media pages. It’s also called Frappe Coffee in Greece and Beaten Coffee in India. This new craze started with a South Korean actor named Jung Il-woo! He was served a similar beverage at an eatery in Macau that reminded him of “dalgona”, a Korean honeycomb toffee. The beverage became famous when he presented it on a South Korean TV show called Stars’ Top Recipe at Fun-Staurant.
How to Make Dalgona Iced Coffee?
Dalgona iced coffee is a beverage made by whipping equal amounts of instant coffee, sugar, and hot water until it becomes creamy and then adding it to cold or hot milk. I added French Vanilla syrup and ice, but you can also add any flavour of syrup you like such as Salted Caramel or spike it up with Baileys! You can also add sweet toppings like crumbled cookies, brownie bites, shaved chocolate, honey, and coffee or cocoa powder.

You can’t make Dalgona iced coffee using ground coffee beans, so you must use instant coffee to create the dense and foamy topping.

How to make a dalgona iced coffee
1. Whisk together instant coffee, sugar, and hot water until peaks are formed. (You can use a hand whisk, a hand mixer or a stand mixer.)
2. Fill a glass with ice cubes and top with desired amount of French Vanilla Syrup. If you just want a little flavour go for a teaspoon, but if you’re looking for a big bunch of vanilla sweetness you might want to go with an ounce.
