Dalgona coffee. It’s all over the internet and on social media. It’s a very simple recipe: a glass of milk over ice with a dollop of “magic whipped coffee” spooned on top. This magic whipped coffee is miraculous itself, containing no milk and no eggs, just coffee crystals, sugar, and iced water.

Magic Whipped Coffee (@emmymadeinjapan)
1/3 cup/20g instant coffee freeze dried crystals
1 cup/200g granulated sugar (I used superfine sugar)
160 ml iced water
Fill a glass measuring cup with ice and fill with water to 160 ml mark. In a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, add the coffee crystals, the sugar, and the iced water. Mix together with a spatula. Turn on the machine to high speed and whip until the mixture begins to thicken and lighten in color. Stop periodically to scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl, and continue beating until stiff peaks form, 3-6 minutes.
