Café Belgique is a coffee-based drink that originated in Belgium. It's a unique way to enjoy your morning coffee, and it's perfect for those who like their coffee with a bit of a twist. The addition of the whipped egg white mixture gives it a unique texture that's similar to a frothy cappuccino. The vanilla extract adds a subtle sweetness to the drink without making it overly sweet. Sprinkle it with cocoa powder for an extra special touch. It's a great way to start your day!

Instructions

1.	In a large bowl, whisk the egg white until stiff peaks form.
2.	Gradually add in the heavy cream, continuing to whisk until well combined.
3.	Add the vanilla extract and whisk again.
4.	Pour the brewed coffee into two mugs, leaving a bit of space at the top.
5.	Divide the whipped egg white mixture equally between the two mugs.
6.	Stir gently to combine, sprinkle some cocoa powder on top, and serve immediately.

PROS

Café Belgique is a unique way to enjoy your morning coffee.

The texture of the whipped egg white mixture adds a light and fluffy element to the drink, and the hint of vanilla gives it a subtle sweet flavor.
It’s also very easy to make and requires minimal ingredients.

CONS

The combination of coffee and heavy cream makes Café Belgique a high-calorie drink.

It should be enjoyed as an occasional treat as part of a balanced diet.
Additionally, the whipped egg white mixture may deflate over time, making the drink lose its unique texture.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

Coffee is a good source of antioxidants, and it’s also linked to several health benefits such as improved brain function and energy levels.
Heavy cream is high in saturated fat and calories, but it also contains vitamin A and D. Consuming it in moderation as part of a balanced diet can be beneficial.
