Vietnamese Coffee Egg Custard (Cà Phê Trứng)
Strong Vietnamese drip coffee topped with a frothy, sweet egg yolk and condensed milk custard.
Why It Works
Whipping egg yolks with condensed milk creates a stable foam that sits on top of the coffee like a rich meringue; the bitter coffee and sweet custard create a dessert-drink hybrid.
