This Tiramisu Cold Brew is an indulgent twist on the classic Italian dessert, featuring a rich cold brew coffee layer combined with a creamy mascarpone foam. It’s a refreshing and elegant drink perfect for coffee lovers who want a dessert-like beverage with the smooth, bold flavor of cold brew and the luscious texture of tiramisu-inspired cream.

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

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cold Brew Coffee Layer: In a large glass or serving cup, combine the cold brew coffee with coffee liqueur (if using) and vanilla extract. Stir gently to mix the flavors evenly.
  2. Make the Creamy Tiramisu Foam: In a chilled mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with an electric mixer until it starts to thicken. Add the softened mascarpone cheese, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Continue whipping until the mixture forms soft peaks and becomes smooth and creamy.
  3. Assemble the Drink: Spoon or pipe the tiramisu foam gently over the cold brew coffee layer, creating a distinct creamy top.
  4. Garnish and Serve: Lightly dust the top of the tiramisu foam with cocoa powder for a classic tiramisu touch. Serve immediately with a straw or a spoon to enjoy the layered flavors.

Notes

  • You can adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of sweetened condensed milk according to your taste.
  • If coffee liqueur is not preferred, simply omit it for an alcohol-free version.
  • For a dairy-free variation, use coconut cream instead of heavy cream and a vegan mascarpone substitute.
  • This recipe serves best chilled and should be consumed within 2 hours for optimal freshness.
