Ingredients
- 8 ounces freshly brewed French-roast coffee
- 6 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk
- 2 egg yolks
- Pinch of salt
- Cinnamon or cocoa powder to garnish
Instructions
- Set out two small cappuccino-style coffee cups or larger espresso cups.
- Brew a strong pot of French roast coffee. Only 8 ounces of coffee is needed, so you can make a small pot in a drip coffee maker or French press.
- Meanwhile, place the sweetened condensed milk in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat for 1 to 2 minutes until boiling. Then remove the sweet condensed milk from the microwave and add a pinch of salt.
- Quickly drop the egg yolks in the hot sweetened condensed milk and whisk vigorously. Work fast! This will not only pasteurize the eggs, but eliminate cooked egg clumps.
- Continue to whip the mixture for 1 to 2 minutes until you have whipped the egg mixture into a thick frothy liquid. (It should have a light air consistency.)
- Pour 4 ounces of hot coffee in each mug. Spoon the egg custard mixture over the top of each glass. Either serve as-is, or sprinkle the tops with a dash of ground cinnamon or cocoa powder. Serve hot!
Cup of Yum
Notes
- You can also use extracts or coffee flavors in egg coffee. Just be careful with adding extra sugar, because the sweetened condensed milk packs a punch.
