  14. ## **Step-by-Step Instructions**
  15. ### **1. Brew and Cool the Espresso**
  16. - Start by brewing **1 cup of strong espresso coffee**. Use high-quality coffee beans for the best flavor.
  17. - Allow the espresso to cool to room temperature. This prevents the eggs from curdling when mixed.
  18. ### **2. Prepare the Cream Base**
  19. - In a medium saucepan, combine **1 cup of whole milk** and **1 cup of heavy cream**. Heat the mixture over medium heat until it begins to steam, but do not let it boil.
  20. - In a separate bowl, whisk **4 large egg yolks** with **1/2 cup of granulated sugar** until the mixture becomes pale and creamy. This step ensures a smooth texture.
  21. ### **3. Combine the Mixtures**
  22. - Slowly pour the warm milk and cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from scrambling.
  23. - Return the combined mixture to the saucepan and place it over low heat. Stir continuously with a wooden spoon or spatula.
  24. ### **4. Thicken the Cream**
  25. - If you prefer a thicker consistency, dissolve **1 tablespoon of cornstarch** in a small amount of cold milk and add it to the saucepan.
  26. - Cook the mixture gently, stirring constantly, until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
  27. ### **5. Add the Coffee and Vanilla**
  28. - Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the cooled espresso coffee and **1 teaspoon of vanilla extract**. Mix thoroughly to combine all the flavors.
  29. ### **6. Chill the Cream**
  30. - Pour the coffee cream into a large bowl or individual serving dishes. Cover with plastic wrap, ensuring the wrap touches the surface of the cream to prevent a skin from forming.
  31. - Refrigerate for at least **4 hours** or until fully chilled and set.
  32. ### **7. Serve and Garnish**
  33. - Before serving, dust the top of the cream with **cocoa powder** or sprinkle with **grated dark chocolate** for an elegant finish.
  34. - Enjoy your **La Cremina del Caffè Partenopeo** as a standalone dessert or pair it with biscotti or fresh berries.
