Method

  • step 1

    Put the egg yolks, condensed milk and vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl. Whisk with electric beaters for at least 5 mins or until pale and foamy.

  • step 2

    Put 4 heatproof glasses or ramekins into slightly larger bowls that have been half-filled with boiling water (this will keep the coffee in the glasses hot for longer).

  • step 3

    Pour the freshly brewed coffee into the glasses, reserving 2 tbsp, then top with scoops of the egg mixture. Drizzle the remaining coffee on top so that it stains the topping and sinks in. Scatter over a pinch of the grated dark chocolate, if you like. Serve immediately, with spoons.

There is no Italian origin in this drink. The egg cream has not got marsala wine and is not whisked over warm water. It was used as a substitution for condensed milk when there was a shortage of it during the war. The coffee bean used is robusta, not arabica like Italian Espresso. It is a Vietnamese…

Unreal! My new favorite drink. I had a little trouble at first with making the topping frothy enough not to sink but worth the trial and error for that dessert taste. I might try adding Tia-Maria as an extra wee treat.

I tried this as I enjoy short strong coffee-based drinks but it was foul! It was so sweet, I ended up just having one sip before throwing it away.

Could this be changed to a liquor coffee?
