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 all the flavors together and form the base of your tiramisu cold brew.
- Make the Tiramisu Foam: In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, softened mascarpone cheese, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is thick, smooth, and slightly fluffy but still pourable, resembling a soft cloud.
- Pour the Foam Over Coffee: Gently spoon or pour the tiramisu foam mixture over the cold brew coffee in the glass. Pour carefully to allow the foam to float on top, creating a distinct creamy layer.
- Add the Final Touches: Lightly dust the top of the foam with cocoa powder using a small sifter. Optionally, sprinkle chocolate shavings on top for added texture and flavor. Serve chilled and enjoy your tiramisu cold brew!
Notes
- Use high-quality cold brew coffee for the best flavor—the coffee taste is key to the drink.
- Do not overwhip the foam; it should be thick but still pourable.
- Chill your serving glass beforehand to keep the drink refreshingly cold longer.
- Dust cocoa powder lightly for the perfect tiramisu finish without overpowering the drink.
- Customize the sweetness by adding a drizzle of caramel or flavored syrup if desired.
- No mascarpone? Substitute with cream cheese for a similar texture.
- For a dairy-free version, use coconut cream and a dairy-free mascarpone alternative.
- If you don’t have coffee liqueur, you can skip it or replace with a splash of almond or hazelnut extract.
- Make your cold brew the night before for convenience and better flavor melding.
- Tiramisu foam can be prepared up to 24 hours in advance and stored in the fridge.
- If storing leftovers, keep the coffee and foam separate until ready to serve to maintain freshness and texture.
