Ingredients

• 2 shots Espresso
• 2 cups Whole milk
• 4 Egg yolks
• 1/3 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 pinch Salt
• 0 Whipped cream (optional, for garnish)
• 0 Cocoa powder or chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare 2 shots of espresso using an espresso machine or stovetop espresso pot, and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the milk and espresso. Heat over medium-low heat, whisking occasionally, until warm but not boiling. Remove from heat.

Step 3

In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and pale in color.

Step 4

Slowly pour the warm milk and espresso mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from curdling.

Step 5

Pour the combined mixture back into the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or heatproof spatula.

Step 6

Continue stirring until the custard thickens enough to coat the back of the spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Do not let the mixture boil.

Step 7

Once thickened, remove the saucepan from the heat and pour the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl to catch any lumps.

Step 8

Let the custard cool slightly, then cover the surface directly with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours, or until fully chilled.

Step 9

When ready to serve, divide the custard into individual serving dishes. Optionally, garnish with whipped cream and a dusting of cocoa powder or chocolate shavings.

Step 10

Serve chilled and enjoy!
