Ingredients

2 large eggs (separate yolks and whites)
1/2 cup freshly brewed strong coffee (room temperature)
2–3 tablespoons sugar (or your preferred sweetener)
Optional: Cocoa powder or grated chocolate for garnish

Instructions

Step 1: Brew the Coffee
Prepare 1/2 cup of strong coffee and let it cool to room temperature.
If you like a sweeter dessert, dissolve 1 tablespoon of sugar in the coffee while it’s still hot.

Step 2: Whisk the Egg Whites
In a clean, dry bowl, whisk the egg whites until they form stiff peaks.
Gradually add 1–2 tablespoons of sugar while whisking to stabilize the whites and enhance sweetness.

Step 3: Prepare the Egg Yolks
In another bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the cooled coffee until smooth and well combined.

Step 4: Combine the Mixtures
Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the yolk-coffee mixture.
Use a spatula and fold carefully to keep the mixture light and airy.

Step 5: Chill and Serve
Divide the mixture into serving glasses or bowls.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to set and enhance the flavors.
Garnish with cocoa powder or grated chocolate before serving.
