Ingredients
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 tablespoons coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1 cup brewed coffee
Instructions
- Begin by brewing 1 cup of your favorite coffee. You can use a drip coffee maker, French press, or any method you prefer. Aim for a strong coffee to balance the richness of the egg yolk and coconut milk.
- While the coffee is brewing, separate the egg yolk from the egg white. You will only need the yolk for this recipe. Place the yolk in a mixing bowl.
- Add 2 tablespoons of coconut milk to the bowl with the egg yolk. Make sure to use full-fat coconut milk for a creamier texture.
- Next, add 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup to the mixture. This will provide natural sweetness to your egg coffee. Adjust the amount based on your personal taste preference.
- Using a whisk or an electric mixer, beat the egg yolk, coconut milk, and sweetener together until the mixture becomes light, frothy, and creamy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Once your coffee is ready, pour it into a serving cup or bowl, leaving some space at the top for the egg mixture.
- Gently spoon the whipped egg mixture over the brewed coffee. You can use a spatula to help spread it evenly on top.
- For an extra touch, you can sprinkle a little cocoa powder or cinnamon on top of the egg mixture for added flavor and presentation.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your Vietnamese Egg Coffee, Paleo, and Dairy-Free!
Tips
- Use fresh, high-quality eggs from pasture-raised chickens for the best flavor and texture.
- Ensure your coconut milk is full-fat and at room temperature for optimal mixing.
- Whip the egg yolk mixture thoroughly - the fluffier, the better!
- Use strong, freshly brewed coffee to balance the richness of the egg mixture.
- Experiment with different natural sweeteners like monk fruit or stevia for varied flavor profiles.
- Serve immediately after preparation to enjoy the maximum frothiness and temperature.
- If you're concerned about raw egg, use pasteurized eggs or quickly temper the mixture with hot coffee.
