Have you heard of Dalgona coffee? If not, where have you been?! It’s definitely having a moment! Dalgona coffee is essentially whipped coffee. It’s made with equal parts instant coffee, sugar, and hot water that are whisked together to create a frothy coffee mixture and then served over ice and milk.

As delicious as it sounds (and tastes), if you’re sticking with a low carb diet or trying to avoid added sugar, then a classic Dalgona recipe isn’t for you. BUT, the good news is, we’ve scoured the web for the best whipped beverages that are all keto-friendly. Bring the coffee shop home with these tasty beverages full of froth and foam!

Recipe fromWhat Great Grandma Ate

This Paleo and Keto Dalgona matcha latte is made with whipped matcha foam for a deliciously sweet and fun drink.

Ingredients

1 egg white

1/8 tsp cream of tartar (optional)

1 tbsp Swerve granulated sweetener

1 tsp matcha

Ice

½ cup unsweetened almond milk, or milk alternative of your choice

Directions

1. Add egg white to a clean mixing bowl. Make sure none of the yolk gets mixed in.
2. Whisk the eggs using a hand mixer, stand mixer, electric whisk, handheld milk frother, OR a standard whisk to whip by hand. I recommend adding cream of tartar if whipping by hand.
3. Once the egg white starts getting frothy after 1-2 minutes, add your choice of sugar.
4. Continuously whip the egg white at a high-speed setting until thick, fluffy, and stiff peaks form (about 2-3 minutes with a mixer, 10-15 minutes by hand).
5. Add in matcha and whisk a few more times until mixed in.
6. Add ice to a glass and pour in milk.
7. Spoon whipped matcha on top of the milk. Enjoy!
