What Is Dalgona Coffee?

Dalgona coffee is reportedly named after a foamy South Korean candy. It became really popular on social media during the social-distancing time of the COVID-19 pandemic because it’s so easy to make a drink that looks like an indulgent coffee-shop treat.

Sugar-Free Whipped Coffee

How do you make whipped coffee that is both sugar-free and dairy-free? That’s the question I set out to answer.

And I did it!

I used granulated Stevia as my sweetener. You can also try to use some Monk Fruit sweetener or granulated erythritol. All three of those are sugar-free sweeteners that will help your coffee taste perfect.

To make it thick and give it that whipped texture, I used unsweetened coconut milk. You can also use almond milk or soy milk. All three of these dairy-free milk options work in my recipe.

Remember, if you are tracking your macros, you need to choose the sugar-free milk options.

How To Customize Your Whipped Coffee

My recipe is extremely basic. Use my recipe as a place to start when you try to make your own versions.

Here are a few ways you can customize it and still keep it low-carb.

• Sugar-free caramel sauce
• Sprinkle unsweetened coconut flakes on top
• Add unsweetened cocoa powder for a mocha
• Top with sugar-free chocolate chips

Heavy cream is a common ingredient in keto recipes. It will give you a dose of healthy fats and make it taste really creamy too.

This coffee tastes the best when you enjoy it fresh, right after you make it. I personally don’t advise anyone to try and store it. This will change the texture and taste of the coffee.
