2022
Being at home because of the quarantine in my city has made me spend more time trying out new recipes and food challenges. One of such challenges I tried is the Dalgona Coffee Challenge. Dalgona coffee is a Korean coffee trend which started on Tik Tok and eventually got to all social media. I decided to try it out but instead of a full sized coffee I opted for coffee shots with hints of irish cream liquer. The ratio for Dalgona Coffee is 1:1:1 which is equal parts coffee, water and sugar. I initially shared my recipe on Instagram but decided to also share it with our community. It's a fun and really easy coffee drink to make especially since some of my favourite coffee shops are temporarily closed.
Here's what you'll need:
1 tablespoon of instant coffee
1 tablespoon of sugar
1 tablespoon of hot water
1½ cup of milk
A shot of Baileys (optional)
Shot glasses
Directions:
Mix the coffee, sugar and water in bowl then whisk it until it is thick and creamy. You can use either an electric mixer or a hand whisk, I used a hand whisk and it took about 10 minutes to get the texture I wanted.
In a separate bowl, mix the milk and the shot of Baileys together.
Pour the combined milk into each shot glass about ¾ way then spoon the whipped coffee on top of the milk.
Gently stir the whipped coffee into the milk and enjoy!
Fun fact:
Dalgona Coffee doesn't have any dalgona in it. Dalgona is a type of Korean honeycomb toffee.
P.S. Have you tried Dalgona Coffee before?
