Looking for a refreshing way to beat the heat without compromising your diabetes wellness goals? Take a sip of The Diabetic Pastry Chef‘s Dalgona Coffee Recipe!

What’s Dalgona Coffee?

“Dalgona Coffee or whipped coffee is the latest coffee craze. It originated in South Korea and the recipe was shared on Tic Toc where it went viral,” says Stacey Harris who is professionally known as ‘The Diabetic Pastry Chef’. “It can easily be made at home in less than 10 minutes. I love it because it is simple to make, delicious, and every bit as decadent as a Starbuck’s drink without the cost or travel.”

Sugar-Free Dalgona Coffee Recipe by The Diabetic Pastry Chef

Ingredients:

2 Tbsp. instant coffee granules

2 Tbsp. Whey Low® Type D Granular sugar substitute

2 Tbsp. hot water

2-3 ice cubes

3/4 to 1 cup milk of choice (dairy, unsweetened almond, oat milk, etc.)

Directions:

In small mixing bowl, add coffee granules, Whey Low and hot water. Whip with electric mixer for several minutes until creamy and thick and peaks begin to form. 

Add ice cubes to drinking glass and pour milk no more than 3/4 to top of glass. Spoon and swirl the whipped coffee on top of the milk. Stir the milk and enjoy.

Note: I have read that Splenda® and stevia do not work well in this recipe.

FUN FACT: The actor Jung Il-Woo traveled to Macau, tried the drink, and gave this coffee drink the nickname ‘dalgona‘ for its resemblance to the traditional Korean sponge candy of the same name.
