Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 ml Freshly brewed strong coffee (Vietnamese-style preferred or espresso)
- 1 large Egg yolk
- 2 tablespoons Low-fat condensed milk
- 0.25 teaspoons Vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
1. Brew 150 ml of strong coffee using a Vietnamese-style drip filter (phin) or an espresso machine. Once brewed, keep it warm.
2. Separate the egg yolk from the white, and place the yolk in a clean mixing bowl. Discard the white or save it for another use.
3. Add 2 tablespoons of low-fat condensed milk to the egg yolk. If desired, add 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract for additional flavor.
4. Using a handheld mixer or a small whisk, beat the egg yolk and condensed milk mixture until it becomes thick, creamy, and pale yellow. This should take 3-5 minutes on high speed.
5. Pour the warm coffee into a heat-resistant glass or mug, leaving a bit of space at the top.
6. Gently spoon the whipped egg and condensed milk mixture over the coffee, creating a layered effect.
7. Serve immediately. Stir the layers together before drinking, or enjoy sipping the coffee through the creamy egg foam.
