Dalgona Pumpkin Spice Coffee Recipe

Updated: Aug 1


Dalgona coffee, originally from South Korea, took the world by storm with its whipped, frothy texture that sits atop milk. It became especially popular during the pandemic as people experimented with simple ingredients to recreate café-style drinks at home.

This recipe takes that same Dalgona trend and gives it a cozy fall twist by incorporating pumpkin spice. The warm, aromatic blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves adds an autumnal touch to the creamy coffee, making it the perfect drink for those cool, crisp mornings.

If you love pumpkin spice and coffee, this Dalgona Pumpkin Spice Coffee is a fun and easy way to combine the best of both. The process is simple: froth up your instant coffee, sugar, and pumpkin spice blend, then pour it over a glass of ice-cold milk.
