Dalgona inspired Coffee Mousse

Everybody is talking about the Dalgona coffee and has to try to make it. I thought, I should use this idea for a dessert! It turned out well, I had a not too sweet dessert! The good thing is, it is done very quickly, and you can prepare it in advance.

Dalgona Coffee, what is it?
The viral trend of sharing recipes and photos of the do-it-yourself coffee first gained prominence during the social distancing orders in South Korea, and for that reason it is dubbed the ‘quarantine drink’ or ‘quarantine coffee’. The coining of the name is credited to the South Korean actor Jung Il-woo, who ordered a whipped coffee at an eatery in Macau during his appearance on a TV show called Stars’ Top Recipe at Fun-Staurant. He likened the taste to that of dalgona, a type of Korean honeycomb toffee.

Under the hashtag #dalgonacoffeechallenge, homemade versions of dalgona coffee began spreading on South Korean YouTube channels before going viral on TikTok.  Although the beverage was popularized as a home-made version of beaten coffee, it is becoming a menu offering in many coffee shops in South Korea. The drink is also said to closely resemble the Indian beverage known as phenti hui coffee, phitti hui coffee, or beaten coffee. The only difference is that when making phenti hui coffee, milk is poured on top of the whipped mix rather than spooning the whipped mix on top of the milk.
