What is Dalgona Coffee? The name comes from a Korean candy called dalgona, is a sugary toffee with a sponge-like texture. People have been whipping their instant coffees at home by hands to make this whipped cream-like topping during the Covid stay-at-home time in South Korea. A famous Korean actor made a comment about how this whipped coffee looked and tasted like the candy dalgona on social media and it went viral. The next thing you know, dalgona coffee is all over the world.
