Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Coffee Base

  • 40g dark chocolate (about 64% cocoa)
  • 60g espresso
  • 5g cocoa powder (100% cocoa)
  • 20g powdered sugar

Mascarpone Cold Foam

  • 30g mascarpone
  • 45g whipped cream (35% fat; half-fat 25% can be used but will take longer to whip)
  • 6g powdered sugar
  • 1/2 vanilla pod or 1 tsp vanilla paste
  • 10g milk

Drink Assembly

  • 300ml milk (e.g. unsweetened barista-style potato milk)
  • 1–2 freshly brewed espresso shots
  • 30g chocolate coffee syrup
  • Cocoa powder for dusting
  • Savoiardi cookie (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Chocolate Coffee Base: In a small jug, add finely chopped dark chocolate, cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and pour in the hot espresso. Let sit for 1 minute to let chocolate melt completely.
  2. Mix Ingredients: Whisk the chocolate and espresso mixture with a small hand whisk or frother until smooth and well combined. Set aside.
  3. Add Syrup to Glass: Pour about 30g of chocolate coffee syrup into your serving glass. Adjust amount for personal preference or glass size.
  4. Store Extra Syrup: Keep any leftover syrup refrigerated for up to 5 days for future use.
  5. Make Mascarpone Cold Foam: In a small jug, combine mascarpone, whipped cream, powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk.
  6. Whip Cold Foam: Use a hand frother to whisk the mixture until very soft peaks form. Avoid over-whipping to maintain creamy texture.
  7. Chill Cold Foam: Refrigerate the mascarpone foam until ready to serve. Use soon after preparation to keep stability and texture.
  8. Combine Milk and Syrup: Pour milk into the glass over the syrup and whisk with a hand frother until evenly mixed. For iced option, add ice cubes now.
  9. Add Espresso Shots: Pour 1 to 2 freshly brewed espresso shots into the glass on top of the milk mixture.
  10. Top with Cold Foam: Spoon the mascarpone cold foam over the top of the drink evenly.
  11. Garnish: Lightly dust the foam with cocoa powder. Optionally, add a savoiardi cookie on the side.
  12. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your tiramisu latte fresh for the best flavor and texture experience.

Notes

  • Use high quality dark chocolate for the best rich flavor.
  • Adjust sugar levels to taste by modifying the powdered sugar quantities.
  • For a dairy-free option, choose plant-based milk and whipped cream alternatives.
  • The cold foam is best consumed fresh and should not be made hours in advance.
  • Adding ice cubes transforms this into a refreshing iced tiramisu latte.
  • The leftover chocolate coffee syrup can be refrigerated up to 5 days for convenience.
