Scandinavian Danish frothy coffee, also known as dalgona coffee or whipped coffee, has taken the world by storm. This creamy and frothy coffee has become a popular trend on social media and for good reason. It is easy to make and wonderfully satisfying to drink.

The history of Scandinavian Danish frothy coffee dates back to South Korea where it is known as dalgona coffee. This name was inspired by the traditional Korean candy, dalgona, which has a similar creamy texture. The coffee gained popularity in South Korea after it was featured on a popular TV show and eventually went viral on social media. From there, it quickly spread to other parts of the world including Scandinavia and Denmark.

Unlike traditional coffee or espresso, Scandinavian Danish frothy coffee is made using instant coffee, sugar, water, and milk. The ingredients are whipped together to create a creamy and frothy texture that is akin to a latte or cappuccino. The coffee can be served hot or cold, making it a versatile drink that can be enjoyed year-round.

To make Scandinavian Danish frothy coffee, you will need:

  • 2 tablespoons of instant coffee
  • 2 tablespoons of granulated white sugar
  • 2 tablespoons of hot water
  • 1 cup of milk (can be dairy or non-dairy)
  • Ice (if you want a cold coffee)

Instructions:

  1. Begin by mixing the instant coffee, sugar, and hot water in a bowl until the mixture turns a light brown color.

  2. Use an electric whisk or hand mixer to whisk the mixture together until it becomes frothy and forms stiff peaks. This should take around 3-5 minutes.

  3. In a separate glass or mug, pour in the milk and add ice if desired.

  4. Spoon the whipped coffee mixture on top of the milk and gently stir to combine.

  5. Enjoy your Scandinavian Danish frothy coffee and marvel at the beautiful layers of coffee and milk.

In Scandinavia and Denmark, Scandinavian Danish frothy coffee is often served with a cinnamon sprinkle or cocoa powder on top. This can add an extra layer of flavor and depth to the coffee. Additionally, many people like to experiment with different flavors by adding vanilla extract or even hazelnut syrup.

In conclusion, Scandinavian Danish frothy coffee is a delicious and easy-to-make coffee that has become a popular trend worldwide. Its creamy texture and frothy layer make it a beverage that is not only satisfying to drink but also pleasing to look at.
