Cold Brew Coffee Layer
- 1 ½ cups cold brew coffee (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 tablespoon coffee liqueur (optional, like Kahlúa)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon cocoa powder, for dusting
Creamy Tiramisu Foam
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons mascarpone cheese, softened
- 1 tablespoon sweetened condensed milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Garnish
- Cocoa powder, for dusting
- Chocolate shavings (optional)
- Mix the Cold Brew Layer: In a tall glass, combine the cold brew coffee, coffee liqueur (if using), and vanilla extract. Stir well to blend the flavors evenly.
- Make the Tiramisu Foam: In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, softened mascarpone cheese, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract until the mixture is thick and smooth but still pourable, resembling a soft cloud.
- Pour the Foam Over Coffee: Gently spoon or pour the tiramisu foam over the cold brew coffee, allowing it to float on top to create a layered effect.
- Add the Final Touches: Lightly dust cocoa powder over the foam and sprinkle with chocolate shavings if desired, for that authentic tiramisu finish.
Notes
- Use high-quality cold brew for a smooth, strong coffee flavor.
- Do not overwhip the foam; it should be thick yet pourable.
- Chill your glass beforehand to keep the drink refreshing longer.
- A light dusting of cocoa powder enhances the tiramisu flavor without overpowering.
- Customize by adding a drizzle of caramel or flavored syrup if you prefer extra sweetness.
- Substitute cream cheese for mascarpone if unavailable, or use dairy-free alternatives for a dairy-free version.
- Omit coffee liqueur or replace it with a splash of almond or hazelnut extract if preferred.
- Make cold brew coffee the night before for convenience.
- Store leftover tiramisu foam in the fridge for up to 24 hours; keep coffee and foam separate when storing.
