Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Brewed strong coffee or espresso
- 1 Egg yolk
- 2 tablespoons Coconut cream
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened plant-based condensed milk (e.g., coconut condensed milk or oat-based)
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 1 pinch Pinch of sea salt
Instructions
Brew 1 cup of strong coffee or a double shot of espresso, then set it aside to stay warm.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the egg yolk, coconut cream, plant-based condensed milk, vanilla extract, sugar, and a pinch of sea salt.
Using a hand mixer or whisk, beat the mixture on high speed until it becomes pale, thick, and frothy (about 3–4 minutes). The consistency should resemble whipped cream.
Pour the warm coffee or espresso into a serving glass or cup, leaving some space at the top.
Carefully spoon the frothy egg mixture over the coffee, allowing it to float on top.
Serve immediately. To enjoy, use a spoon to mix the frothy layer into the coffee for a creamy, velvety texture.
