01 / WHAT YOU NEED

Ingredients

Dalgona Whip: 2 tablespoons white sugar 2 tablespoons instant coffee granules 2 tablespoons boiling water Cocktail: ¾ cup milk, divided 1 cup ice 1 fluid ounce amaretto liqueur 1 fluid ounce creme de cacao

02 / HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

Step 1

Start by mixing the sugar and instant coffee in a bowl, then pour in the boiling water. Whip it up until it becomes thick and fluffy—this usually takes about 3 to 4 minutes. Next, pour half of the milk into an old fashioned glass. In a cocktail shaker, add ice along with the remaining milk, amaretto, and creme de cacao. Give it a good shake for a couple of minutes until everything is well chilled. Strain this mixture into the glass with the milk, then carefully spoon the whipped coffee on top. Enjoy!

Good to know.

Cook's tip

- Use instant coffee for the best froth; ground coffee won’t whip properly.
- Whip the coffee mixture until it forms stiff peaks for a light, airy texture.
- Use cold milk and serve over ice to keep the drink refreshing and chilled.

Serving ideas

Serve in a clear glass to show off the beautiful layered effect. Add a sprinkle of cocoa powder or cinnamon on top for extra flavor. It pairs well with light snacks like biscuits or fresh fruit.

Storage & leftovers

Prepare the whipped coffee fresh for the best texture. Leftover milk can be stored in the fridge for 2-3 days. If needed, rewhip the coffee mixture before serving, but it’s best enjoyed immediately.
