Egg Coffee from Hanoi
This might sound like an odd combination, but it does taste divine. Something I have heard as described between a warm tiramisu and a coffee cadburys creme egg. I prefer it hot, but is often served over ice too.
Recipe
2-3tsp Vietnamese coffee *(alternative ingredient – Ground expresso will work, but add a little sugar)
2tsp Sweet condensed milk
1 Egg yolk
Brew a small cup of coffee.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, condensed milk and just one teaspoon of the brewed coffee until you get a thick fluffy mixture.
Pour your coffee in a cup and top with the mixture.
To serve – sit the cup in a bowl of hot water to keep it warm and serve with a spoon to stir as you sip. If you prefer over ice, the just do it.
