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

Here are a few more things that you can add to this recipe to make it taste different. If you change the recipe, please let me know in the comments, I’d love to hear what you made!

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. 

Dairy-free creamers are another option. Nut-pods are a popular choice for Whole30 dieters and keto dieters alike.

How To Store Dalgona Coffee 

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.
