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.

• 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.

Can I make this recipe dairy-free?
Absolutely. Substitute whole milk with almond, soy, or oat milk, and use a dairy-free whipped cream to top it off.

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.

Can I prepare the latte in advance?
It’s best enjoyed fresh, but you can whip the mascarpone cream ahead of time and store it in the fridge. Simply reheat your coffee and assemble when ready to serve.
