Healthier Dalgona Coffee

This healthier Dalgona coffee version has been my addiction lately… I have tried it with Bayley’s, which I really recommend for special occasions, for example if you have guests you can serve this coffee with a slice of my french apple cake which every time I serve, becomes a hit.

Although the traditional Dalgona Coffee is made with granulated sugar I tried swapping it for coconut sugar since is relatively healthier and it actually worked so good giving a caramel and softer taste.

Coconut sugar is still sugar so is something to try to avoid and just take it sparingly, however it has some benefits (1) compared to refined sugar; it has a lower glycemic index, less fructose, it is not refined and it has some nutrients like calcium and potassium.

Let’s go!
