Can I use regular coffee instead of instant for the Dalgona layer?

Sorry, but instant coffee is non-negotiable for that signature Dalgona fluff! Regular brewed coffee just won't whip up into those dreamy peaks. The instant granules dissolve completely and create the perfect foam texture. Trust me, I've tried every shortcut - this is one step worth doing right.

How long does Dalgona Tiramisu keep in the fridge?

This beauty actually improves with time! Kept covered in the fridge, it stays fresh for 3-4 days. The flavors meld together beautifully, though the Dalgona layer will gradually soften into the cream (still delicious). Just resist opening the container too often - those coffee aromas escape!

Is there alcohol in this recipe like traditional tiramisu?

Nope! My Dalgona Tiramisu is completely alcohol-free (unless you want to add some - see next question). The intense coffee flavor from the Dalgona layer gives it that grown-up taste without needing any liquor. Perfect for all ages or when you want a dessert without the buzz.

Can I spike my Dalgona Tiramisu?

Absolutely! If you miss that boozy kick, add 1-2 tbsp of coffee liqueur or rum to your brewed coffee dip. Just reduce the liquid coffee by the same amount so your ladyfingers don't get soggy. The Dalgona layer stays alcohol-free unless you're feeling really adventurous!

My Dalgona coffee deflated - can I fix it?

Don't panic! If your whipped coffee loses its volume, just beat it again for 30 seconds. Make sure your bowl and beaters are completely grease-free - any fat residue can cause deflating. If it's really stubborn, add 1/2 tsp more instant coffee to help stabilize it. Your Dalgona Tiramisu will still taste amazing regardless!
