What is Dalgona Coffee

Dalgona coffee is a smooth coffee drink made with milk, (we’re using almond milk here to keep it keto), which is whipped and topped with whipped instant coffee and milk.

It is a two layer drink that is loaded with flavor, and filling enough to start your day.

It’s incredibly easy – just takes a bunch of whipping – but the combination of hot water, instant coffee, milk, and sugar (or in this case, confectioners swerve) is heavenly and comes together in a snap!

Keto Dalgona Coffee

While Dalgona coffee on it’s own isn’t keto – they use sugar and milk – it is really easy to swap swerve and almond milk for a keto version of this coffee drink.

If you want to make the original drink, replace the swerve with sugar, and use dairy milk.

How To Make Dalgona Coffee

Dalgona coffee requires a couple of extra steps – but it is an incredibly delicious and simple recipe that anyone can make.

To Make Keto Dalgona Coffee You’ll Need

2 Tbsps piping hot water
2 Tbsps Instant Coffee
5 Tbsps Confectioners Swerve
Almond Milk
Hand mixer
Spoon

Combine Ingredients

In a small bowl combine the instant coffee, confectioners swerve, and boiling water.

Whip Swerve, Water, and Coffee

Using an electric mixer, mix on medium speed until the mixture doubles in volume and forms a soft peak.

Add Milk to Mug

Next, add either hot or cold milk to a glass or mug.

I personally like hot milk – but some people really love the unique flavor you get from cold milk and hot coffee foam on top.
