Perfect for coffee lovers who want a dessert-inspired beverage, this drink is smooth, sweet, and topped with a dusting of cocoa and optional chocolate shavings for a beautiful finish.

Ingredients

Scale

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)

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
