I found some interesting details about Dalgona coffee. The Dalgona Coffee first went viral in January after a video clip was shown on TV from the show Stars’ Top Recipe at Fun-Staurant where Korean actor Jung Il-woo, ordered coffee at Hon Kee, a small shipyard cafe in Macau.

The owner of Hon Kee, Leong Kom Hon opened the cafe by the port for the workers in the year 1980, but it was not until the early 2000s when Leong met a foreigner couple at his cafe who taught him the recipe. Leong Kom Hon once mentioned in an interview, this coffee is beaten 400 times to get the creamy texture.

Graham crackers, butter, sugar, instant coffee, cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and cool whip.

To prepare the crust, smash the graham crackers with a rolling pin or by hand until it’s mostly crumbled and only a few small chunks remain. Mix the butter and sugar in with the crushed crackers until well combined. Prepare a cake pan with wax paper or butter spray and press the crust mix into the pan in a thin layer.
