What is Dalgona Coffee?
First, let’s break down what this coffee drink is. Dalgona coffee (aka whipped coffee) is a traditional South Korean sweet beverage treat that has taken the internet by storm. People are whipping up their own variations in TikTok and going crazy for how delicious it tastes so much so that there are even dalgona coffee challenges.
Basically, you take three ingredients, whip them all together, serve over milk, and voila! You have yourself dalgona coffee.
We took a shot at making our own healthier variation, and here’s what we came up with.
Healthier Vegan Dalgona Coffee Recipe
