1 can 1 iced coffee (or 1/3 cup strong hot coffee)
1 can 1 evaporated milk
1/3 cup 1/3 brown sugar
1 1 large egg yolk
1 envelope 1 unflavored gelatin
1 cup 1 heavy cream
Directions
- Add the can of coffee to a pot and heat to medium. Let the coffee reduce for 20 minutes.
- In a saucepan, combine the evaporated milk and the reduced coffee. Cook on low until it lightly starts steaming.
- In a bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and the brown sugar.
- Add 1/2 of the milk mixture into the bowl and combine well. Then, add this egg-milk blend back to the saucepan and cook over low heat until it reaches 75°C/165°F.
- Remove from heat, stir in the gelatin, and set aside in fridge for an hour.
- A few minutes before the time is up, beat the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
- In a bowl, gently mix half of the whipped cream with the egg-milk mixture. Add the remaining whipped cream.
- Transfer the mousse to the containers of your choice and serve it chilled.
