Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 ml Freshly brewed strong coffee (such as espresso or dark roast)
- 1 large Fresh egg yolk
- 2 tablespoons Sweetened condensed milk (low sodium, if available or standard if sodium-free is not a concern)
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
Instructions
1. Start by preparing 120 ml of strong, freshly brewed coffee. You can use an espresso shot, moka pot, or French press to achieve a bold flavor.
2. In a small mixing bowl or cup, combine 1 large egg yolk, 2 tablespoons of sweetened condensed milk, and 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar.
3. Using a handheld milk frother, electric whisk, or manual whisk, whip the egg yolk mixture vigorously for 3-4 minutes until it becomes thick, fluffy, and pale yellow in color.
4. Pour the freshly brewed coffee into a heatproof cup or glass.
5. Gently spoon or pour the whipped egg mixture on top of the coffee, creating a rich, creamy layer.
6. Serve immediately by offering a spoon to stir the layers together before drinking, or enjoy with the creamy topping intact for a layered experience.
