Ingredients you need

You’ll need these ingredients to make this Tiramisu style latte:

• Espresso: Use a double espresso for a strong, bold flavor, but you can also use your regular hot coffee—whether it’s instant or brewed with a French press.
• Milk: Adds creaminess to your latte. Whole milk gives a richer taste, but you can swap it for almond, soy, or oat milk if you want a dairy-free option.
• Mascarpone: This creamy Italian cheese is key to tiramisu’s signature flavor and adds a rich, velvety touch to your latte.
• Heavy Cream: Use heavy cream to whip up the mascarpone topping. Look for cream with 30-35% fat for a thick, stable foam.
• Powdered Sugar: Sweetens the mascarpone cream and dissolves easily for a smooth texture.
• Vanilla: Vanilla extract or paste adds a sweet, aromatic flavor that enhances your latte.
• Cocoa Powder: Unsweetened cocoa powder is sprinkled on top for a chocolatey flavor and a perfect finishing touch.
• Amaretto (Optional): Add a splash of Amaretto syrup, dark rum, or coffee liqueur for a hint of almond flavor, just like classic tiramisu.

How to Make A Tiramisu Coffee Latte

Here are some quick visual instructions. Remember, the full instructions with exact ingredients are in the main recipe card below!

Step 1: Heat the milk in a saucepan or in the microwave until hot (froth your milk with a milk frother for a more indulgent drink). 

Step 2: Pour frothed milk into a tall glass, then pour in your hot espresso coffee.

Step 3: Place the mascarpone cheese, cold full-fat heavy cream, powdered sugar and vanilla extract in a small bowl and mix with an electric mixer for 1-2 minutes until you get stiff peaks.

Step 4: Pour the mascarpone filling over the hot coffee latte and sprinkle over the cocoa powder or chocolate shavings and serve with lady fingers cookie!

Serving Suggestions

• Topped with Cocoa: Dust the top with a light sprinkle of unsweetened cocoa powder for that classic tiramisu touch.
• Garnish with Ladyfingers: Serve with a couple of ladyfinger biscuits on the side for dipping, echoing the flavors of the traditional dessert.
• Add Whipped Cream: Pile on some extra mascarpone whipped cream or regular whipped cream for an indulgent finish.
• Drizzle of Chocolate: For a richer experience, drizzle chocolate syrup over the top before serving.
• Pair with Dessert: Serve alongside a slice of tiramisu or other Italian sweets for a complete treat.

Recipe Questions

Can I use regular coffee instead of espresso?
Yes! If you don’t have an espresso machine, you can use strong brewed coffee or even instant coffee for a similar result.

How do I prevent the mascarpone cream from curdling?
Make sure both the mascarpone and heavy cream are cold before whipping to avoid curdling and achieve a smooth, creamy texture.
