Recent Rave Over TikTok Coffee Foam Challenge

(Easy Dalgona Coffee Recipe)

Amazing trend.

So, what is the recent hype over The Dalgona Coffee? It’s actually a coffee drink that can be easily made with just 4 ingredients. They are instant coffee, sugar, warm water and fresh milk.  Take a close look at the brown mixture at the top, looks like cream isn’t it? Yes, but it isn’t made from cream or milk but instant coffee, warm water and sugar with a ratio of 1:1:1.

Even over here at FoodLine, we hopped onto the TikTok bandwagon and tried it ourselves! It was fascinating to watch how super basic ingredients can form together into a thick mixture. Of course, we whisked the mixture for a good 20 minutes, it was indeed a good arm workout… We definitely recommend you to use an automatic whisking machine if you have one!

After we felt our “whipped coffee cream” is at the right consistency, we then pour the fresh milk into a glass cup and followed by placing the whipped cream at the top of the milk.

The overall appearance was a stunner, we couldn’t wait to try it and hopefully rave about it just like how many people did after trying out.

As expected, we love it, albeit a little sweet. It gives off a very refreshing taste, neither the usual strong coffee taste nor the rich milk taste, it was perfectly balanced. It’s definitely a must try because it’s so simple to make yet so tasty.

If you want, you can reduce the amount of sugar used but it might affect the consistency of the cream. Also, the cream can be used in place of the usual cream frostings on desserts like as a cake frost and tart frost.

Personally, I really think it’s worth the try, a new experience for those coffee and/or milk lovers and also the best time to make this if you are working from home or serving self-quarantine at home!

Now, allow me to share with you a little about the science behind the cream.

The foam is essentially made of air bubbles and water. To stop the water from flowing, the walls of the bubble needs to be thickened and it makes the entire foam more stable.

For this coffee foam, the microparticles of the coffee crystal helps to stabilize the walls of the bubbles. This then resulted the mixture to be a nice creamy foam!

Well, now you can impress your loved ones with this raved coffee foam and make yourself occupied if you are bored! Once you start, you probably can’t stop!
