How to Make a Tiramisu Latte (Step-by-Step)
This recipe is super easy to pull together at home and can be adjusted to fit whatever mood you’re in, such as hot, iced, boozy, or classic.
Equipment
- Espresso machine or strong coffee maker (French press works too)
- Milk Frother or Whisk:
- Measuring Spoons:
- Mixing bowl
- Spoon or milk steamer wand
Ingredients
- 1–2 shots of espresso or ½ cup strong brewed coffee
- ½ cup milk (whole, oat, or any creamy option)
- 1–2 tablespoons mascarpone or cream cheese
- 1–2 teaspoons sugar or simple syrup, to taste
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Cocoa powder or chocolate shavings (optional)
- Ladyfinger crumbles for a dessert-style topping (optional)
- A splash of coffee liqueur for an adult twist (optional)
Instructions
- Step 1) Brew the Coffee: Make your espresso or coffee first. If you’re going the iced route, let it cool for a few minutes so it doesn’t water down the other ingredients.
- Step 2) Make the Creamy Topping: In a small bowl, whisk together the mascarpone, vanilla extract, a bit of milk, and sweetener until smooth. If you like it airy, give it a quick froth for a light and mousse-like texture.
- Step 3) Assemble the Latte: Pour the espresso into your mug or glass. Next, add the milk and stir in your creamy mascarpone mix until it’s velvety and blended. You can finish with a dusting of cocoa powder or a dollop of whipped topping. If you’re feeling extra, sprinkle crushed ladyfingers on top.
