Dalgona is a honeycomb candy, not whipped coffee. A famous Korean guy said whipped coffee LOOKED LIKE dalgona before it gets firm or hard, and that is how it was misinterpreted by non-Korean speakers. So this is just whipped coffee, not dalgona. (It's like how English speakers use "latte" (and unfortunately) many other international words) incorrectly. Latte is just regular milk (without coffee) in Italian. Hence, "caffè latte".)

I understand it is definitely a misnomer, try googling (or using other keyword research services/software) "What is Dalona Coffee?" (you don't have to, I am just saying this because a great deal of keyword research goes into naming these posts) It's different than honeycomb candy (which I have made, I absolutely love this candy - in my post about that I took a great deal of time explaining the difference), and that's how it got its name, through that association which you very well pointed out. I think, and this is just my opinion of what could have happened when something becomes so popular, it moves fast through culture. Years ago, before social media, this didn't happen this fast. This happens a lot with recipes and esp. nowadays. Sometimes certain aspects of the name stick because people associate a certain aspect with it even if it's not the same thing. I do say "whipped coffee" in the post, to not mention the word "Dalgona" at all would not take into account the association and what people search for in terms of keywords. If I were to only say whipped coffee, I feel like that would "blandize" the recipe and not take into account that this recipe comes from another place and that needs to be recognized. I have seen other (American) bloggers just say "whipped coffee" like it was invented in the USA and it's absolutely not correct. I say the word Dalgona in the title to "paint" a picture of how this came to be, its an association, and show it's not a generic USA-made recipe that someone in the US invented. I really want you to know where/the full context of I am coming from. I have several other Dalgona-inspired recipes here on the blog where I talk about that in those posts. Thank you for commenting, as a person with Asian-American heritage, I am sensitive and understanding of this! It's really important to take into account everything. There's always a bigger picture to consider and I appreciate you and your view very much and taking your time to write here!
