Keto Whipped Dalgona Coffee (Must-Try Viral Coffee Drink!)
Don’t miss out on the latest whipped coffee crazy because it’s easy to make keto!
Just in case you haven’t heard of Dalgona coffee, it’s a rich coffee drink of South Korean and Indian origins that’s made by whipping equal amounts of instant coffee, sugar, and hot water. Most recently Dalgona coffee has become a viral sensation online thanks to TikTok and everyone staying home making coffee drinks.
I wrote about this popular coffee drink on our sister site, Hip2Save, as my now older kids enjoy making it with decaf instant coffee as a fun activity to do while staying at home.
Great news – it’s actually very simple to make Dalgona coffee keto-friendly!
With a couple of keto ingredient swaps, you’ll be on your way to whipping up some keto Dalgona coffee, too! The result is a super creamy and rich iced coffee drink you’ll be able to enjoy at home that tastes just like it came from a coffee shop.
Dalgona coffee traditionally uses granulated sugar. As a helpful keto swap, I suggest using a keto-friendly granulated sugar substitute. I tried making this easy whipped coffee using Swerve granular and Lakanto monk fruit sweetener. Both work wonderfully and tasted equally as great!
Recipe Tips for Making the Best Keto Whipped Dalgona Coffee:
-
- You can make this idea using a coffee frother, but to really get the whipped look, I recommend using an electric hand mixer with the whisk attachment. You’ll get those beautiful whipped peaks!
-
- You’ll need to use instant coffee granules for this idea. You can use decaf instant coffee, too. Both will work great!
-
- Pick a keto-friendly milk to pair with the whipped topping. I enjoy unsweetened almond milk, and personally loved the results when paired with this keto Dalgona coffee. Some other options could be using unsweetened coconut milk or heavy cream. You could also use half heavy cream and half water to make it less thick.
-
- This makes for a very strong coffee drink. I personally like to use only half of the whipped coffee mixture and make two drinks out of it, so it’s less strong. This will obviously be a personal preference.

- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or choice of keto-friendly milk
Directions
1
Combine instant coffee, sugar substitute, hot water, and vanilla in a small bowl. Use a mixer with a whisk attachment to whip the mixture for a minute or two until it becomes thickened and light in color.

Additional Notes
I based nutritional values on using both Swerve granular and Simple Truth brand unsweetened almond milk.
Also, don't be alarmed by the high total carb count. Erythritol (the main ingredient in Swerve) does not affect blood sugar in the same way that regular carbs do, so we've subtracted them from the total carb count. You'll see that the net carbs are much lower once you remove the sugar alcohols.
