Instructions

Bring about 2 inches of water to a gentle simmer in a medium saucepan. Combine the pasteurized egg yolks, granulated sugar, 1/3 cup cooled espresso, and coffee liqueur in a large heatproof bowl. Set the bowl over the simmering water, making sure the bottom does not touch the water, and whisk constantly until the mixture is pale, thick, and registers 160°F (71°C) on an instant-read thermometer, about 8–10 minutes. Remove from the heat.
