Ingredients
Dalgona Coffee
- 2 tbsp instant coffee
- 2 tbsp powdered or granulated sweetener *see notes for reccomendations!
- 2 tbsp hot water
Chocolate cashew milk
- 2 cups water
- 1/2 cup raw cashews
- 2 tbsp raw cacao powder
- 1 scoop chocolate protein powder *optional but rich & yummy!
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- pinch sea salt
Instructions
- Whip it up: In a mixing bowl, add instant coffee, sugar, & hot water. Using a hand mixer (or a whisk if you’re ready for an arm workout), whip until it’s thick, fluffy, and forms soft peaks. I personally prefer to use a stand mixer as it speeds up the process, tons!
- The longer it whips, the thicker and lighter in color it will get! Be patient if hand mixing.
- Make the milk: Add all ingredients to a blender & blend until completely smooth. Taste & adjust as you'd like. Store in a container in the fridge until ready to use!
- Prep your glass: Fill a glass with ice and pour in your milk of choice. Spoon the whipped coffee mixture on top of the milk. Stir it in and enjoy!
- Optional garnish: Swirl with whipped cream, sprinkle with cocoa, or drizzle with chocolate sauce for that coffeehouse vibe!

Notes
Chocolate protein powder (totally optional, but I love the flavor and creaminess it adds!) I used Macro Mike Smoothe Pea protein in rich Chocolate. You can use my code "amb-dani" for a discount!
Granulated sugar - you can use coconut sugar, monk fruit sweetener, or regular sugar. I used powdered monk fruit sweetener & it's delicious!
