Salted Dalgona Coffee isn’t just a drink; it’s a little adventure in a cup that I love sharing with friends and family. Imagine sitting at your kitchen table, whisk in hand, transforming a few simple ingredients into a cloud of creamy, frothy bliss that’s both visually stunning and utterly delicious.

My personal dalliance with Salted Dalgona Coffee began when I stumbled upon the Korean dalgona candy, made famous by its appearance in the intense and captivating scenes of “Squid Game.” Remember the scenes where characters painstakingly carved shapes from honeycomb toffee, their fate hanging in the balance? It sparked a global craze, leading people to put their own spin on this nostalgic candy. In the Philippines, this trend evolved into a delightful beverage, marrying the essence of dalgona candy with the rich flavors of coffee.

To craft this indulgence, I start by combining equal parts instant coffee, sugar, and hot water in a bowl. Then, I whisk it vigorously (and I mean vigorously!) until it magically transforms into a fluffy, velvety foam. There’s something incredibly satisfying about watching the mixture change texture, almost as if you’re a part of a delicious science experiment. Once that’s ready, I spoon the frothy mixture onto a glass of cold milk, carefully observing the contrast between the creamy coffee and the white milk below. Finally, a sprinkle of salt on top enhances the coffee’s robust flavor, adding an intriguing savory note to this sweet treat.

But it’s not just about the taste; it’s about the ritual and the joy it brings. Making Salted Dalgona Coffee is a delightful way to break from the routine and enjoy a moment of creativity and fun. Sharing this with loved ones often leads to lively conversations and laughter, as everyone marvels at how something so simple can be so enchanting.
