Chocolate Whipped Coffee (a.k.a. Dalgona Coffee)
Servings 2 Coffees
Calories 219kcal
Ingredients
Base Recipe:
- 2 Tablespoons Instant Coffee
- 2 Tablespoons Sugar I use erythritol (see notes below for the low carb version's nutritional info**)
- 2 Tablespoons Hot Water
- 1 Tablespoon Cocoa Powder
- 2-3 Cups Keto Milk I use almond milk. This can be warm or cold, depending on your preference. I use 1 1/2 cups of almond milk per cup of coffee.
Instructions
- Combine sugar (2 tablespoons) and instant coffee (2 tablespoons) in a large bowl.
- Pour hot water (2 tablespoons) over the top.
- Use an electric mixer on a very high speed to mix until the coffee becomes frothy and light in color, this should take about 2-5 minutes. Since there isn't a lot to work with, I find this is easiest to do by tilting the bowl to one side so the liquid pools together.
- Once the coffee is totally frothy, add cocoa powder (1 tablespoon), and fold into the froth -- I find the best way to do this is to place cocoa powder in a fine-mesh strainer and sprinkle over the top, then fold the coffee 1-2 times to incorporate.
- Pour (warm or cold) milk (2-3 cups) in a glass -- if serving cold, you can add ice cubes. Spoon the coffee over the top.
- Stir before drinking, and enjoy!
Notes
- Cocoa Powder. I much prefer dutch process cocoa powder in sweets, as it’s significantly less bitter than regular!
- Lakanto, Swerve, or Erythritol. I stick to Lakanto and Swerve which are a 1:1 swap with traditional sugar. If using a different brand of Erythritol, keep in mind it's 70% as sweet as sugar, so you may need to add more to taste.
- Milk. I swap between unsweetened light almond or coconut milk.
- Looking for an even foamier coffee? Add the cocoa powder to your milk instead! Adding cocoa powder to the coffee takes away some of its foaminess.
- Want a traditional dalgona? Skip the cocoa powder all together.
