Equipment

  • Saucepan
  • Spoon
  • Whisker

  • 6 large eggs separate yolks and whites

  • 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions
 

  • Add the egg yolks, sugar, and brewed coffee to the saucepan and whisk it until combined.
  • Once the mixture is set, add heavy cream and whole milk and whisk it until the new mixture is fully incorporated.
  • Put the saucepan over medium-low heat and start whisking slowly with a spoon.
  • Keep it going until you see a custard begin to form and coat the spoon. Alternatively, use a cooking thermometer to check if the temperature reaches 170°F.
  • Add salt to taste.

  • Pop it into the fridge until it reaches 40°F.
