I love coffee, and I’m always looking for new and exciting ways to enjoy it. Recently, I discovered a delicious twist on the classic recipe that has taken the internet by storm – Dalgona Coffee with Hot Chocolate Mix. If you haven’t heard of Dalgona Coffee, it’s a whipped coffee drink that originated in South Korea. It became incredibly popular during the COVID-19 lockdowns because it’s easy to make at home with just a few ingredients.
What is Dalgona Coffee?
Dalgona Coffee is a creamy and frothy beverage made with equal parts of instant coffee, sugar, and hot water. The mixture is then whipped until it becomes light and fluffy, creating a luscious foam that sits on top of a glass of milk. Traditionally, Dalgona Coffee is served cold with ice, but this twist adds a rich and chocolatey flavor by using hot chocolate mix instead of regular instant coffee.
Why Hot Chocolate Mix?
If you’re a fan of hot chocolate, you’ll love this twist on the Dalgona Coffee recipe. Hot chocolate mix adds a delightful sweetness and a touch of cocoa flavor to the coffee foam. It’s a perfect combination for those who enjoy both coffee and hot chocolate. Plus, using hot chocolate mix makes it even easier to create this delicious beverage without having to buy instant coffee separately.
Ingredients
To make Dalgona Coffee with Hot Chocolate Mix, you’ll need the following ingredients:
– 2 tablespoons of instant coffee or hot chocolate mix
– 2 tablespoons of sugar
– 2 tablespoons of hot water
– 1 cup of milk (any type, dairy or non-dairy)
– Ice cubes (optional)
You can adjust the measurements according to your taste preferences. If you prefer a stronger coffee flavor, you can add more instant coffee or hot chocolate mix. Likewise, if you like your coffee sweeter, feel free to add more sugar.
Instructions
Making Dalgona Coffee with Hot Chocolate Mix is incredibly easy. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you create the perfect drink:
1. In a mixing bowl, combine the instant coffee or hot chocolate mix, sugar, and hot water.
2. Using an electric hand whisk or a stand mixer, whisk the mixture vigorously for about 3-5 minutes until it becomes thick and forms stiff peaks.
3. Take a glass and fill it with milk. You can use any type of milk you prefer, such as cow’s milk, almond milk, or soy milk.
4. If you like your coffee cold, add a few ice cubes to the glass of milk.
5. Now, spoon the whipped coffee mixture onto the top of the milk. You can be as generous as you like with the amount of foam you add.
6. Gently stir the coffee foam into the milk before taking a sip, or you can leave it to gradually mix as you drink.
That’s it! Enjoy your homemade Dalgona Coffee with Hot Chocolate Mix.
Tips and Variations
– If you don’t have an electric whisk, you can also use a hand whisk or a frother. However, it may take a bit longer to achieve the desired frothy consistency.
– To make a mocha version of this drink, you can add a tablespoon of cocoa powder to the whipped coffee mixture for an extra chocolatey flavor.
– If you’re looking for a healthier alternative, you can use a natural sweetener like honey or maple syrup instead of sugar. It will give your Dalgona Coffee a unique and natural sweetness.
