Also called, Dalgona! The wildest food trend I’ve seen this quarantine has to be Whipped Coffee. I mean, has it always been a thing?! Because it has seriously taken social media by storm! Well we all know I don’t drink coffee, and I’m a matcha fiend, so it was only a matter of days before I tried to make my own version.
Okay let’s be clear. I saw countless Whipped Coffee social posts, and even several Whipped Matcha posts, and everyone made it look EASYYYY. Fact check: it’s not. You must, I repeat MUST, use an electronic mixer! I thought I’d be able to whisk by hand but that was a total fail, and using a matcha frother was also a fail, although I did make a little bit of progress with it. Once I stepped up my game and found my electronic high-speed mixer, the recipe was a cinch!!
Not only is this recipe gluten-free, but it is also dairy-free and can totally be made vegan! The vegan version uses chickpeas, and sadly I’m allergic so I am not able to give it a go!
Get ready, everyone! You’re in for a treat.
What You Will Need:
2 Egg Whites
1/2 Tablespoon Matcha
1 Tablespoon Water
1 Tablespoon Coconut Sugar
What You Will Do:
- Add two egg whites to a bowl. Using an electronic mixer, whisk on HIGH for 5-8 minutes. Before I go on, I want to note that I tried making this several times without the electronic mixer and it failed each time! People seem to make it work, but they must have magic arms or something!
- Once the egg whites are fluffy and foamy, set aside.
- In a separate bowl, add 1 T of BOILED water, 1/2 T matcha, and 1 T coconut sugar (you can use monk fruit, cane sugar etc). Whisk together until all clumps of matcha and sugar are dissolved.
- Slowly, I repeat, SLOWLY, pour your matcha mixture into the egg white bowl, mixing with the electronic mixer as you go. Once the two are incorporated, continue mixing for a few minutes more to maintain the foamy-ness/fluffy-ness of the Dalgona.
- Fill a cup half way with ice, and pour in a nut milk of your choosing. Fill the glass about 3/4 of the way. Slowly, AGAIN slowly, scoop the whipped matcha on top of the glass, filling it to the top.
- Sprinkle with a little more matcha on top and ENJOY!
- Drink it as is, OR mix the whipped matcha into your iced nut milk and drink it combined.
Vegan Option:
1. Sub Egg Whites for the water from a can of chickpeas. Whisking chickpea water together is called aquafaba.
