Taste of Vietnam: Culinary Journey
A rich and unique Vietnamese coffee drink from Hanoi, combining strong brewed coffee with a creamy, sweet, and frothy egg yolk topping.
Ingredients
- 1 large egg yolk
- 2 tbsp sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tsp sugar (optional)
- 0.5 cup strong brewed Vietnamese coffee or espresso
Instructions
- Brew strong Vietnamese coffee or espresso and keep it hot.
- In a small bowl, combine the egg yolk, sweetened condensed milk, and optional sugar.
- Using a hand whisk, electric mixer, or immersion blender, whip the egg yolk mixture until it becomes light, frothy, and pale yellow, similar to meringue.
- Pour the hot coffee into a small cup.
- Gently spoon the whipped egg cream on top of the coffee, creating a distinct layer.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the creamy, rich layers.
Notes
Use strong Vietnamese robusta coffee for an authentic taste. Adjust condensed milk to your sweetness preference. A small hand frother or immersion blender makes whipping the egg mixture easier. Serve immediately.
