Ingredients
- 1 large Egg yolk
- 2 tablespoons Sweetened condensed milk
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 6 ounces Hot brewed coffee
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
Directions
Step 1
Begin by brewing a fresh, strong cup of coffee using your preferred method, ensuring about 6 ounces of hot coffee per serving. Set aside.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine 1 large egg yolk, 2 tablespoons of sweetened condensed milk, 0.5 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1 teaspoon of sugar.
Step 3
Using a hand mixer or a whisk, beat the egg mixture vigorously until it becomes frothy and creamy, developing a light and airy texture. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
Step 4
Gently pour the hot brewed coffee into a small cup or coffee mug, filling it about two-thirds full.
Step 5
Carefully spoon the whipped egg mixture over the surface of the hot coffee, covering it completely.
Step 6
Serve immediately, allowing the coffee's heat to gently set the egg topping. Optionally, stir before sipping to mix the layers, or enjoy the rich contrast as-is.
