In honor of the current quarantine trend going on, I decided to share my own take on the wonderful, surprisingly silky Korean Dalgona coffee. Here’s what you will need:

INGREDIENTS (1 serving)

  • 2 tablespoons instant coffee
  • 2 tablespoons hot water
  • 1/2 to 1 tablespoon sugar
    • you do need the sugar in order for that foamy texture to hold its shape
  • milk of choice
    • depending on how strong you like your coffee, you will need anywhere between 150 ml to 300 ml (roughly 3/4 to 1 1/2 cups)
  • ice

INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1

Add the instant coffee, water and sugar in a bowl.

Step 2

Mix all the ingredients together until the mixture gets a mousse like consistency and texture, and the color goes from a dark chocolate brown to a light caramel beige.

Step 3

Get your favorite glass and fill it with ice.

Next, fill the glass 3/4 of the way up with milk.

Spoon the frothy coffee mixture on top of it all and mix everything together before drinking.

You may have seen my work on TV, Food Network, NYT Cooking, Food52 and more. I make recipes more fun and accessible for home cooks. I immigrated to the US from Transylvania, Romania—where I lived most of my life—in 2021 to pursue my passion for cooking full-time. Here you’ll find a collection of approachable recipes, from weeknight dinners to desserts, you’ll come back to over and over again. Some of my most popular recipes include my chicken paprikash, orange chicken roast with fennel and shallots or butter beans all vodka. Some recipes are inspired by my Romanian-Hungarian upbringing, and most definitely all come with that Transylvanian resourcefulness! I love a good thrift, so make sure to catch my thrift hauls every Sunday on my Instagram!
