Egg Coffe


Here’s a recipe for Egg Coffee (Cà Phê Trứng), a creamy and sweet Vietnamese coffee made with whipped egg yolk and condensed milk. This unique drink originated in Hanoi and is a must-try for coffee lovers.

Egg Coffee Recipe

Ingredients

For One Serving:

1 egg yolk

2 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

1/2 cup strong hot coffee (Vietnamese drip coffee or espresso works best)



Instructions

1. Brew the Coffee:

Prepare a strong cup of Vietnamese coffee using a phin filter, or brew espresso if you don’t have one. Keep it hot.

2. Whip the Egg Mixture:

In a bowl, combine the egg yolk, condensed milk, and vanilla extract (if using).

Use a hand mixer or whisk to beat the mixture until it becomes thick, creamy, and pale yellow (about 3–5 minutes).

3. Assemble the Egg Coffee:

Pour the hot coffee into a cup.

Gently spoon the whipped egg mixture on top of the coffee, creating a creamy layer.

4. Serve:

Serve immediately. To drink, stir the egg mixture into the coffee for a rich, velvety texture.

Tips for Success

Coffee Strength: Use robust, strong coffee to balance the sweetness and richness of the egg mixture. Vietnamese coffee brands like Trung Nguyên or Café Du Monde are ideal.

Egg Freshness: Use fresh, high-quality eggs for the best taste and texture.

Temperature: Ensure the coffee is hot to contrast with the creamy egg topping.

Presentation: Serve in a small, clear glass or cup to showcase the layered look.
