What is Dalgona Coffee?

Dalgona Coffee is a frothy coffee drink originating from South Korea, known for its silky coffee foam layered over milk. In this recipe, we add a special twist by including Baileys, an Irish cream liqueur, which provides a sweet and refined flavor.

Key Ingredients for Dalgona Coffee with Baileys

For the foam (3-4 servings):

• 5-10 g instant coffee (adjust to your preferred intensity).
• 30-40 g sugar or a sweetener of your choice for a lighter option.
• 100 g water, preferably lukewarm.

For the rest of the drink:

• Milk (skimmed, semi-skimmed, whole, or plant-based like almond or soy milk). Enough to fill three-quarters of the glass.
• ½ glass of Baileys to add the special touch.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I use ground coffee instead of instant coffee?
It’s not recommended, as ground coffee doesn’t dissolve completely and won’t create the characteristic Dalgona foam.

2. Can Baileys be replaced with another liqueur?
Yes, you can use Amaretto, Kahlúa, or even a hazelnut liqueur to try different flavor profiles.

3. How do I store the coffee foam?
The coffee foam should be used immediately to maintain its fluffy texture. Preparing it fresh guarantees the best results.
