6 servings
- 2 cups whole milk
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 3 tbsp finely ground espresso or dark-roast coffee
Ingredient notePregnancy guidance caps caffeine at about 200 mg a day. This recipe has roughly 32 mg per serving.
- 5 pasteurized egg yolks
Ingredient noteThe eggs here are pasteurized, which kills salmonella, so the egg itself is fine during pregnancy even when it is not cooked.
- ⅔ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ tsp fine salt
Instructions
- 1
Combine the whole milk, heavy cream, and ground espresso in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Warm the mixture, stirring occasionally, until it just begins to steam and small bubbles form around the edges, about 5 minutes — do not let it boil. Remove from heat, cover, and let the coffee steep for 10 minutes.

Pour the steeped milk mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a clean bowl or large measuring cup, pressing the grounds gently to extract all the liquid. Discard the grounds and return the strained liquid to the saucepan over medium-low heat.
