π What Is Dalgona Coffee?
Originally a viral sensation from South Korea, Dalgona coffee is a whipped mixture of instant coffee, sugar, and hot water beaten until fluffy, then served over cold or warm milk.
In this recipe, that frothy coffee magic becomes the crown on top of a rich chocolate base — turning a drink into an elegant layered dessert.
π Ingredients
For the Chocolate Base (makes 4 cups):
-
200g (about 1 cup) dark or semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
-
100ml (about ½ cup) heavy cream
-
A pinch of sea salt (optional)
-
Crushed biscuits or graham crackers (for crunch, optional)
For the Dalgona Coffee Topping:
-
2 tablespoons instant coffee
-
2 tablespoons sugar
-
2 tablespoons hot water
-
Optional: 1–2 tablespoons of heavy cream or milk for a softer texture
π΄ How to Make Dalgona Coffee Chocolate Cups
Step 1: Make the Chocolate Base
-
In a heat-safe bowl, melt the chocolate and cream together. You can use a microwave in 20-second intervals or a double boiler.
-
Stir until smooth and glossy. Add a pinch of sea salt for a richer flavor (optional).
-
Spoon the mixture evenly into small serving glasses or ramekins. If you want texture, add a layer of crushed cookies underneath or on top of the chocolate.
-
Refrigerate for 30–45 minutes, or until set.
Step 2: Whip the Dalgona Coffee
-
In a bowl, add instant coffee, sugar, and hot water (equal parts).
-
Whip using a hand whisk, milk frother, or electric mixer until light, fluffy, and creamy (takes about 2–5 minutes depending on method).
-
For a creamier texture, fold in 1–2 tablespoons of cream or milk (optional).
Step 3: Assemble
-
Once the chocolate base is firm, spoon the whipped Dalgona coffee on top.
-
Smooth out the top or make artistic swirls with the back of a spoon.
Step 4: Garnish & Serve
Top with:
-
A dusting of cocoa powder
-
Shaved chocolate
-
Crushed coffee beans
-
A drizzle of chocolate syrup
Serve chilled for the best texture!
π§ Storage Tips
You can make these cups ahead and store them in the fridge for up to 2–3 days. Just keep them covered so the Dalgona topping doesn’t dry out. Great for prepping dessert in advance!
