Author: Johny Morrisson

Equipment

  • Phin Coffee Filter or Coffee Maker
  • Whisk or Blender

Ingredients

  • 1 Egg Yolk
  • Robusta Coffee Beans
  • 2 tbsp Sweetened Condensed Milk

Instructions

  • Brew strong coffee: Use a phin filter and Robusta beans to brew strong Vietnamese coffee, or substitute with espresso or strong drip coffee.
  • Whip the egg yolk: While the coffee brews, whisk one egg yolk with sweetened condensed milk, a pinch of salt, and vanilla until thick and creamy.
  • Warm the egg mixture: Gently warm the whipped egg mix over hot water for 1–2 minutes. Keep stirring to avoid cooking—just to make it silky.
  • Combine coffee and foam: Pour the hot coffee into a cup and gently spoon the egg foam on top, letting it float like a creamy layer.
  • Serve and enjoy: Dust with cocoa or cinnamon if you like, and enjoy hot—either sip through the foam or stir it all together.
