Dalgona coffee FAQs

Do I have to use instant coffee?

Yes, the key to this recipe is instant coffee. Any coffee brand will work as long as it’s an instant coffee! We like Mount Hagen instant coffee.

What if I don’t want to use sugar?

This recipe will whip slightly without sugar but it doesn’t stay as light and fluffy. I recommend using sugar. I also tested this with coconut sugar for a refined sugar free option.

What milk should I use?

All milk is great! I love a dairy free milk for mine, especially oat milk.

    Dear Molly,

    I am a new dedicated follower. There are so many recipes that I love. My niece-in-law is a first time pregnant with twins and I shared your site with her.

    I wanted to suggest that you contact the instant coffee makers and make them aware if they have seen a surge in sales, It’s because of you and your recipe for DALGONA COFFEE!! I believe that most people do not keep instant coffee in their pantry. They should promote you and your recipe on their websites.

    Thank you for all you are doing to educate us on so many foods and baby-related information!
