Coffee But Make It Dessert And Less Wasteful

The coffee that marks an era

There’s always cuisine that reminds us of a time when things are tough. For example, during the great depression, casseroles and soup based dishes were very popular but as someone growing up during the pandemic, there is one thing that we all could agree on that Dalgona was the marker of that era.

To me, dalgona reminds me of those challenging times, cooped up inside a tiny room and struggling to even whisk this coffee. It was very popular online that I wanted to get into the train too. I didn’t have any whiskers, frother or even a good kitchen to start with. I was only with a strainer and did my best to whisk. Eventually, I mastered it at some point and has been one of my go-to when I crave for something deliciously creamy and caffeinated.

Just look at how I used to make it before and this was made when I was coming back home at the time.

Somehow, these past few weeks urged me to be creative, to do something with coffee beyond the usual. We see coffee as just that beverage that perks us up but truthfully, there is more than just a liquid caffeine. We can do so much with it, the only thing that we should master is how to understand the ingredients.

If you have seen my failure in making the cookie cup dough, something really bothered me that today, I finally got back to my kitchen and made it again.

As much as I promised to stop baking, something really bothered me. The thing is, I wouldn’t be able to move on if I hadn't done it. So, after racking up my brain and trying to do the recipe that I found from the youtube here, I made a few modifications.

If I were to sell this, I would stick to this picture that was edited with AI, it looks cooler 🤣

Maybe I don’t need a paper cup but just anything that could be used as a mold and then hold the dough until it’s done. If you don’t have a paper cup of mold you can use ceramics and bake under 180C for about 60 minutes.

You only need Sugar, Flour and Margarine.

The base of the cookie dough is simple. Since I don’t have butter, I was simply using margarine used for cookies and cake. However, if you have butter, that’s even better. I added oats and that’s entirely optional. You see, you can make this too at home and all you need is 120 minutes of your day.

Before baking, you have to put the dough in the fridge for about 15-20 minutes.

The only challenging thing would be temperature and also the technique. You have to flip the ceramic after 50 minutes to ensure the inside of the cookie cooks properly. Then wait until it cools down before transferring into another surface, otherwise, they will be crumbling and I got one like that. So, learn from my lesson everyone haha

While waiting for the dough to cool down, you can whisk dalgona. You need 2 sachets of instant coffee and sugar. That’s all there is to it for this recipe.

Once it cools down, add milk into this cookie cup and add dalgona above it. Chill for about 5 minutes, completely optional but that would make dalgona a lot more chilled and nicer to drink. Serve and enjoy!

You can replace dalgona with any other coffee such as latte or cappuccino. Can you imagine a cappuccino and latte art served in this cookie dough? That would be even more heavenly.

I can assure you that this cookie holds liquid pretty well and it doesn’t easily soak the water. So, you won’t have to worry about it suddenly spilling all over your clothes.

This recipe is a way to remind you about that era but also, we can cherish those times in another way. For me personally, through this recipe, I can see how far I’ve come as a person. I am now a lot more creative and could finally have the patience and basics of cooking and baking.

Let me know if you’re going to try this recipe especially if you’re looking to spice up your ways to enjoy coffee.

Oh I remember the networks flooded with people preparing dalgona coffee, I guess it was a good way to deal with all that was going on.

Your idea is great, I loved the original photo more than the AI one, it will be a little easier to match your recipe, just a little because the truth is that it has a whole technique. Maybe I will make the time to prepare it because it looks like one of those desserts that are worth a lot in restaurants, besides delicious.

Right? I am sure everyone who loves cooking and food remember about this recipe. It's something that marks the Pandemic when it comes to cuisine.It's easy to replicate to be honest, the only thing you would have to check is the ceramic mug and the temperature of baking them. During my first try, I failed on that front hehe

Haha well I will be very attentive to these two aspects when I go to try the recipe. Thanks for sharing also what didn't go so well at first.

First time I've seen something like this and it looks delicious, I think I'll try to prepare one myself. untitled.gif

Yeah, can you imagine cappuccino in an edible cup? That would definitely be fantastic.

That looks really cool, but man does that sound like a sugar crash hahaha. Fantastic food artwork though :D

It is a sugar crash 🤣 this is why I need to stop baking cause that's a fast track to diabetes. In this recipe alone, I use about 10 tbsp of sugar

During pandemic I used to make coffee Dalgona too with cream and ice. I love how it turns out. I would love to learn the skill of baking. Lucky you.😉

hehehe it's not that difficult. I learned it in about a week through fail and try. It's really about practice till you get it right 😄 You can do it too

Omg that looks nummy! Hungry Episode 11 GIF by The Simpsons

😄 Yes! I am all about making coffee yummy hehe

😄 It does look yummy!

I would really love these! Ever since squid games I have added dalgona as my favourite on a list. I only tried the coffee and the candy. How I wish I had tried this too. :) The way you made it looks so intricate. 😃

It does have some baking aspect to it but I can tell you as much, you can make it that way too and find new ways to enjoy dalgona.

Wow! How pretty they are! Not only that, but the process in making this must be very detailed and you pulled it off. I am amazed for your talent in baking sweets. How I wish I can find some dalgona pastry around my area like this. 😃
