Instructions
- Step 1: Whip your chosen base—coconut cream, egg white, or aquafaba—in a bowl on high speed until it starts to resemble whipped cream. This usually takes 2 to 5 minutes with an electric mixer, or up to 10 minutes if whisking by hand.
- Step 2: When soft peaks begin to form, sift in the sugar or stevia, then continue whipping to combine fully.
- Step 3: Sift the matcha powder over the whipped mixture and whip again until smooth and well incorporated.
- Step 4: Pour your milk or creamer into a cup. Taste and add extra sugar if desired. If serving hot, warm your milk before adding the whipped dalgona matcha on top.
- Step 5: Spoon the whipped dalgona matcha over the milk and enjoy your luxurious matcha drink.
Tips & Variations
- For a richer flavor, use full-fat coconut cream as the base.
- If you want a vegan option, aquafaba or coconut cream works best instead of egg whites.
- Adjust sweetness to taste by varying sugar or stevia amounts.
- Try using oat, almond, or soy milk to complement different flavor profiles.
- For an iced version, pour milk over ice before topping with whipped matcha.
Storage
Whipped dalgona matcha is best enjoyed immediately for the fluffiest texture. If you must store leftovers, keep the whipped topping in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day, then gently re-whip before serving. Milk should be stored as usual and reheated or chilled depending on your preference.
