What is Vietnamese Egg Coffee (Cà Phê Trứng)?

Vietnamese Egg Coffee is a luxurious specialty consisting of strong dark-roast Robusta coffee topped with a thick, velvety foam. The signature meringue is created by whipping pasteurized egg yolks with sweetened condensed milk. This stable protein emulsion perfectly shields the coffee’s inherent bitterness, creating a restorative, dessert-like beverage.
