Method
Espresso Preparation
Brew Espresso
In an espresso machine, add 18 grams of finely ground espresso coffee into the portafilter. Ensure it is evenly distributed and tamped down firmly. Lock the portafilter in place and start the brewing process using 60 ml of water. Brew until you have a rich, concentrated espresso shot.
Yolk Mixture Preparation
Whisk Egg Yolks
In a mixing bowl, add 2 large egg yolks, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and 0.5 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Whisk together until the mixture becomes thick and creamy, and the sugar has dissolved.
Combine and Serve
Combine Espresso and Yolk Mixture
Once the espresso is brewed, allow it to cool slightly for about 1 minute. Slowly pour the warm espresso into the egg yolk mixture while continuously whisking to temper the yolks and prevent cooking.
Serve
Pour the combined mixture into a serving glass or cup. Top with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cocoa powder for garnish. Serve immediately for the best flavor.
