Ingredients you need
*Scroll down to see quantities and full instructions to make this tiramisu coffee recipe in the recipe card.
- Espresso: Opting for a double espresso over regular ground coffee results in a concentrated, bold coffee flavor that significantly enhances the taste of your drink. Alternatively, you can always use your usual hot coffee, whether it's instant coffee or ground coffee brewed with a French press.
- Milk: Milk adds creaminess and a smoother texture to your latte. You can use whole milk for a richer taste or opt for alternatives like almond milk, soy milk or oat milk for a dairy-free version.
- Mascarpone: Mascarpone cheese is a creamy Italian cheese known for its velvety texture. It's a key ingredient in Tiramisu and adds a rich, luscious flavor to your latte.
- Heavy Cream: Heavy cream or heavy whipping cream is used to make the mascarpone cream topping. It should have a high-fat content (around 30-35%) to achieve a thick and stable whipped texture.
- Powdered Sugar: Powdered sugar, also known as confectioners' sugar, sweetens the mascarpone cream. It dissolves easily, ensuring a smooth and sweet topping.
- Vanilla: Vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste adds a sweet and aromatic note to the mascarpone cream, enhancing the overall flavor of your latte.
- Cocoa Powder: Unsweetened cocoa powder is used for dusting the top of your Tiramisu Latte. It contributes a hint of chocolate flavor and a visually appealing finish to the drink.
- Amaretto: Optional, you can also add a splash of Amaretto syrup for a hint of almond flavor, reminiscent of classic tiramisu or use dark rum or other coffee liqueur.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
To make espresso without an espresso machine, use a moka pot. Fill the bottom chamber with water, add finely ground coffee to the filter basket, assemble the pot, and heat it on the stove until it bubbles up into the upper chamber, producing a concentrated coffee similar to espresso.
