Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup half & half or light cream
  • 1/4 of a 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon instant coffee crystals
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 oz whiskey
  • 1/3 oz rum
  • 1/2 teaspoon chocolate syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a large heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat, combine half & half, sweetened condensed milk, and instant coffee crystals. Stir until the coffee crystals dissolve.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolk and gradually add 4-5 ladles of the hot mixture into the egg yolk while whisking. Return the tempered egg mixture into the hot milk mixture and stir to combine.
  3. Bring the mixture to a high simmer and cook over medium heat for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Turn off the heat.
  4. Add whiskey, rum, chocolate syrup, and vanilla extract and stir to combine.
  5. Allow the mixture to cool at room temperature. Cover with plastic wrap directly over the liquid and chill in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours, preferably overnight.
  6. Remove the plastic wrap and stir the mixture well. Pour the chilled mixture through a sieve into another pot or container to remove any egg particles or skin that may have formed while cooling.
  7. Transfer to a glass and enjoy!
