Dalgona Milo is another must-try cold drink recipe. Because I don't drink coffee and I wasn't able to enjoy the Dalgona Coffee that I made a few days ago. I was inspired to make the milo version which my kids and I can surely enjoy.
Due to Covid-19, most people are staying at home or in-home quarantine mode. Someone uploaded a video in TikTok on how to make Dalgona Coffee and that's how this challenge started. Good thing there's an alternative for those people who don't consume coffee. Dalgona Milo is introduced in social media as well. The ingredient include milo or chocolate powder, egg white or whipping cream, sugar and water.
Dalgona originated in Korea named after the Korean candy. Many Filipinos are an avid fan of K-Pop and Korean Novela, which is why we also want to try this Dalgona Challenge. They said you need to do it manually by whisking the mixture 400 times. However, if you have an electric hand-held mixer, you can do the trick easily.
TIPS HOW TO MAKE DALGONA MILO
Diluted milo powder is too thick, so you need to add another ingredient to make it airy and light. I used egg white for this recipe but you can also use whipping cream instead.
Make sure you heat the egg white over simmering water.
Use a hand-held mixer to make the meringue alternatively, you can whisk it manually using a balloon whisk but it may take a while.
Do not overbeat the egg white, you want to achieve soft peaks form.
