The first time I had a condensed milk coffee was in a newly opened family run coffee shop in Johannesburg. It was served in the tiniest enamel cup which meant there were only a few sips but man was it delicious!!
I have never forgotten about that tiny little coffee but it is an uber decadent treat and should definitely not be enjoyed regularly.
I just happened to have a small amount of leftover sweetened condensed milk after making a few Diwali sweets so naturally the first thing that popped into my mind was trying to recreate that amazing coffee.
In order to offset some of the sweetness I have used a dark roast coffee, topped with a little plain whipped cream and served this in smaller mugs.
Let’s get mixing…
Start by preparing your coffee, I have used a double shot of Nespresso but any good quality strong coffee would work. Once your coffee is ready, add in 1 tablespoon of condensed milk and stir well, it takes a few minutes for the condensed milk to melt into the coffee.
Finally top with unsweetened whipped cream and a little grated chocolate or cocoa powder.
Ingredients

2 tblsp sweetened condensed milk
