Coffee Ice cream with Dalgona coffee
Friends, I know i just posted an ice cream recipe last week. I am so sorry, I had to post this today to celebrate national ice cream day yayy! Did you know that national ice cream day is on the 3rd sunday in July every year? Well it is, and who doesn't love a nice scoop of ice cream? Yet to meet that person.
Coffee flavored desserts like this coffee ice cream, coffee fluff etc are some of my favorite ways to indulge. I would have you know that I am not much of a coffee fan but I love a hint of coffee in my cakes, cookies and hot chocolate mix. To be honest, it tastes absolutely divine.
Coffee and chocolate or coffee and cream is a delicious way to enjoy coffee. When i made dalgona coffee the very first time. I decided it would taste even more delicious in ice cream form and that’s when I made this dalgona ice cream for the first time and this has been the only way I make my coffee ice cream.
What is Dalgona Coffee?
Dalgona coffee also known as whipped coffee is just that, whipped coffee. It a beverage made by whopping equal amounts of instant coffee, sugar and hot or warm water till it thickens and forms stiff peaks like whipped cream. Then it is served over hot or cold milk.
Dalgona coffee has been around in Indian but is called Beaten coffee. It is made the same way and served the same way although sometimes milk is poured over the whipped coffee instead of vice versa.
Like Pancake Cereal, Dalgona Coffee was trending on the web during the lock down. It was one of the recipes that went viral during that period thanks to Tiktok. It was also named the ‘quarantine drink’.
The name Dalgona was derived from a Korean sweet that’s made from brown sugar and baking soda.

Quick Recipe Notes and Tips
- For a more intense coffee flavored ice cream use two tablespoon each of instant coffee, sugar and water to make your dalgona coffee.
- You can decide to use your dalgona coffee as a topping for your vanilla Ice cream instead of mixing it in to the whole ice cream like l did.
- If you are looking to make mocha ice cream, mix dalgona coffee with chocolate ice cream.
- Make sure to whip the dalgona coffee to stiff peaks.
- When you mix the dalgona coffee with the sweetened condensed milk, cover with cling film to prevent a skin from forming while while whipping the heavy cream. Or you can decide to whip the cream first.
- Because the dalgona coffee has water in it, the ice cream may freeze more solid than my other no churn ice cream recipes. Not to worry, it gets scoopable in less than 3 minutes.
- Use decaffeinated coffee if you want to share this with the kids.

I'd like to thank you for the lovely ice cream recipe, i will defintely try it out.
But i have a question to ask...
What if you have already made ice cream (ice cream from the shops) and you mix the ice cream with the dalgona coffee?
Will that make dalgona coffee ice cream?
Thank you
Hi Victoria,
Yes mixing Dalgona coffee with store bought ice cream would make coffee ice cream. However you would need to thaw the ice cream to mix the Dalgona coffee in properly and refreezing thawed (melted) ice cream is usually not recommended. Hope that helps. Thanks for stopping by!
