A couple years ago there was a craze going around the internet for Dalgona coffee which is creating a coffee foam with instant coffee and sugar to put on top of milk. My food science brain couldn’t help but try this out. And it works with decaf instant coffee, pure maple syrup and dairy milk alternatives. The proteins & fat in coffee act as surfactants to trap air into the coffee matrix while whipping, therefore creating a foam. Although white sugar stabilizes the foam better, you can also create a fancy, fun and less sweet drink using pure maple syrup. Now you can enjoy a decaf dairy free Dalgona Coffee in the afternoon if you like.
