• 1 large egg, at room temperature
• 2 egg yolks, at room temperature
• 1/2 c. dark brown sugar

• 1 t. instant coffee granules
• 1/2 t. salt
• whipped cream and shaved chocolate, for garnish

Steps

1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, stir together milk, coffee, and cream; slowly bring to a simmer.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, sugar and cornstarch until blended.
