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.

Especially when it is super delicious and everyone in the family drools over it (figuratively). Sharing the best no bake dalgona coffee cheesecake recipe with you all. Let me know what you think.
