Unusual Vietnamese coffee can be prepared at home. Its highlight is that this coffee is prepared with an egg. The recipe calls for the preparation of a thick sweet cream with egg yolk and condensed milk. The drink is divided into two layers: the bottom one is coffee, and the top one is whipped sweet cream. Before drinking, mix the two layers of the drink with a spoon. Coffee with an egg can be considered a snack, given the calorie content of the egg and condensed milk.

How to cook Vietnamese coffee

Step 1

Brew coffee. Pour boiling water over the cup. Pour freshly ground coffee into it and pour boiling water over it.

Step 2

Add the egg. Carefully separate the egg white from the yolk. Mix the yolk, condensed milk and 1 tablespoon of already brewed coffee in a bowl. Beat the ingredients with a mixer until fluffy. Pour the coffee into a serving cup, put the airy mixture of egg and condensed milk on top.

Vietnamese coffee - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use instant coffee instead of freshly ground coffee for Vietnamese coffee?

Yes, you can use 1-2 teaspoons of instant coffee dissolved in hot water as a substitute, though the flavor may be less robust compared to freshly ground coffee.

What can I use instead of condensed milk for a dairy-free version?

For a dairy-free alternative, try coconut condensed milk or a syrup made of coconut milk and sugar. Almond or oat milk with sweetener can also work but won't be as thick.

How long can I store Vietnamese coffee in the fridge?

The egg and condensed milk foam can be stored covered in the fridge for up to 24 hours, but it's best enjoyed fresh for optimal texture.

Can I make this recipe without eggs?

Yes, you can omit the egg for a simpler version—just mix condensed milk directly with the coffee. For a frothy texture, whip the condensed milk with a little heavy cream or aquafaba.

What's the best way to serve Vietnamese coffee?

Serve it hot in a clear glass to showcase the layered effect, or pour it over ice for a refreshing iced version. Pair it with pandan waffles or a buttery croissant.

Can I adjust the sweetness of this coffee?

Absolutely! Reduce or increase the amount of condensed milk to taste. For a less sweet option, dilute it with a bit of unsweetened milk or water.

Is there a low-carb alternative for this recipe?

Use sugar-free condensed milk or a keto-friendly sweetener like erythritol mixed with heavy cream to replace the condensed milk.

Can I freeze the egg foam mixture for later use?

Freezing isn't recommended, as the texture will change and become watery when thawed. It's best prepared fresh.

Milk and butter glaze is a universal option for decorating pies, muffins and even Easter cakes. Milk should have a fat content of 3.2%, otherwise it will not be possible to make the glaze of the correct consistency.
