Coffee Base
- 2 espresso shots (cooled)
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1–2 teaspoons granulated sugar (adjust to taste, or simple syrup)
- 2/3 cup steamed milk
- a splash of coffee liqueur (Optional, like Kahlúa)
Mascarpone Cream
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon mascarpone cheese (softened)
- 1 tablespoon sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 tablespoon milk
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (or vanilla bean paste)
Garnish
- Ladyfinger biscuits (Savoiardi)
- Cocoa powder (for dusting)
- Chocolate shavings or grated chocolate (for dusting)
- Prepare the Coffee Base: Add the cocoa powder to a serving mug, then pour the cooled espresso shots over it. This blooming step helps the cocoa powder dissolve fully, enhancing the overall coffee flavor.
- Sweeten and Add Steamed Milk: Stir in granulated sugar or simple syrup to your desired sweetness, then gently pour the steamed milk over the espresso mixture.
- Make the Mascarpone Cream: In a small measuring cup, combine heavy cream, mascarpone cheese, sweetened condensed milk, milk, and vanilla extract. Use a handheld frother or hand mixer to froth the mixture until it becomes airy and light.
- Assemble the Latte: Pour the frothy mascarpone cream carefully on top of the coffee base. Optionally, add a splash of coffee liqueur for extra depth of flavor.
- Garnish and Serve: Decorate with cocoa powder, chocolate shavings, and place Ladyfinger biscuits on the side or dip them in the latte. Serve immediately and enjoy your decadent tiramisu latte.
Notes
- Adjust sugar according to your taste preference; simple syrup dissolves faster than granulated sugar.
- If you do not have an espresso machine, strong brewed coffee can be used as a substitute.
- The coffee liqueur is optional but adds an authentic tiramisu flavor.
- Use whole milk for better frothing and creaminess in the steamed milk and mascarpone cream.
- Serve Ladyfinger biscuits on the side or dip them briefly in coffee to mimic classic tiramisu textures.
