Quick Facts

• Time: 15 minutes
• Yield: 2 servings
• Brew method: Espresso or strong coffee

Ingredients

• 2 shots of espresso (or ½ cup strong brewed coffee)
• 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
• 2 tablespoons mascarpone cheese
• 1 tablespoon sugar (adjust to taste)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Cocoa powder for dusting
• Optional: chocolate shavings or coffee beans for garnish

Equipment

• Espresso machine or coffee maker
• Small saucepan
• Whisk or frother
• Serving mugs

Method

1. Brew your espresso or strong coffee and set it aside. If using a coffee maker, make sure it’s brewed strong enough to stand up to the milk and flavors.
2. In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until steaming, but not boiling.
3. Whisk in the mascarpone cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Use a frother if you want a frothy texture!
4. Pour the brewed espresso into your serving mugs, then slowly add the warm milk mixture.
5. Dust the top with cocoa powder and add any optional garnishes.

Variations

• Sweeten to your taste with flavored syrups or honey.
• Use almond or oat milk for a non-dairy version.
• Serve iced by chilling the milk mixture and pouring it over ice.

Troubleshooting

If your latte is too thick, try whisking in a little extra milk until it reaches your desired consistency.

Serving

Enjoy your Tiramisu Latte warm, perhaps with a slice of your favorite dessert alongside. It’s the perfect treat for a cozy afternoon!
