On entering the spring months of 2020 we have seen the Dalgona whipped coffee on the top trends of the food-internet (foodternet?). Almost every food enthusiast have been talking about this decadent creamy whipped coffee. From the recent TikTok sensation to the Viral gram and even the classic Facebook groups. It has even become a challenge for anyone that classifies themselves as a foodie to give this “foodternet” sensation a try.
After coming across it several times as I scrolled through my Instagram timeline, I caved and jumped on the Dalgona bandwagon. A decision I most certainly do not regret. I went as far as making not just one and not sticking to the classic milk & ice. I ended up making three delicious flavours that soothe whatever mood my tastebud was in (I like to think my tastebud has a mind of its own).
Also, check out this Espresso Berry Blast with Chia Seeds, another delicious coffee-based recipe.
1. CLASSIC MILK & ICE
Just as the name says, ice in a glass followed with milk and topped with Dalgona coffee.
2. HOT CHOCOLATE
Chopped dark chocolate, a bit of sugar and hot but not boiled milk, topped with Dalgona coffee.
3. COOKIES & CREAM
Blitz your favourite ice cream (I used a caramel flavoured ice cream) with cookies (I used caramel cookies) and top with Dalgona coffee. A great substitute for regular cookies is
Chin-Chin.
