Ingredients
- 3 large egg yolks, lightly beaten
- ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
- ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ cup (4 ounces) freshly brewed hot coffee
- ½ cup (119 g) heavy whipping cream
Instructions
- Fill a medium saucepan with 1–2 inches of water and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat. Place a heatproof glass or metal bowl over the pan, ensuring it sits above the water without touching it.
- To the bowl, add the lightly beaten egg yolks, sugar, and salt. Whisk until fully combined.
- Slowly pour in the hot coffee while whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from curdling.
- Stir the mixture frequently for 10–15 minutes, or until it thickens slightly and becomes a bit foamy.
- Remove the bowl from the heat and let it cool for 5–10 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with a hand mixer or whisk until soft peaks form. (The cream should gently hold its shape when you lift the whisk.)
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cooled coffee mixture using a spatula. Mix until smooth and fully combined.
- Cover the sauce and chill it in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
