Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious Tiramisu Iced Coffee:

1 cup strong brewed coffee (cooled)
1 cup milk (whole or your preferred dairy/non-dairy)
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup mascarpone cheese
2 tablespoons sugar (adjust to taste)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons cocoa powder (for dusting)
Ladyfinger cookies (for layering)
Whipped cream (for topping)
Chocolate syrup (for drizzling)

Directions

Brew the coffee: Brew a strong cup of coffee (about 1 cup) and allow it to cool to room temperature. For an extra kick, you can use espresso or a dark roast.
Make the mascarpone cream: In a mixing bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla extract. Using a hand mixer or whisk, beat the mixture until it forms soft peaks.
Add the milk: Gradually mix in the milk into the mascarpone mixture until smooth and creamy.
Layer the coffee: In a clear glass, add a layer of the cooled coffee at the bottom.
Dip the ladyfingers: Quickly dip the ladyfinger cookies in the remaining coffee and place them on top of the coffee layer. Don’t soak them too long, as you want them to stay firm!
Add the mascarpone cream: Spoon a layer of the mascarpone cream mixture over the ladyfingers, spreading it evenly.
Repeat the layers: Repeat the coffee, soaked ladyfinger, and cream layers until you reach the top of the glass, finishing with the creamy mascarpone mixture.
Chill: Place the layered glass in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to chill and allow the flavors to meld together.
Garnish and serve: Before serving, top the iced coffee with whipped cream, dust with cocoa powder, and drizzle chocolate syrup over the whipped cream.
Enjoy: Serve with a spoon and enjoy your delicious Tiramisu Iced Coffee!

Variations

Dairy-free version: Use non-dairy milk (like almond or oat milk) and substitute the heavy cream with coconut cream for a dairy-free treat.
Sweetness level: Adjust the amount of sugar to your liking. You can also use a sugar substitute if you prefer a low-sugar option.

Storage

Fridge: If you have leftovers, store the tiramisu iced coffee in the fridge for up to 1-2 days. The layers may settle a bit, but it will still taste great!
Freezer: While it’s best served fresh, you can freeze the components (coffee, cream mixture, and ladyfingers) separately and assemble later.

FAQs

Can I make this ahead of time?

Yes! You can prepare this the day before and let it chill in the fridge overnight. The flavors will meld even more, making it extra delicious!

Can I use regular cookies instead of ladyfingers?

Yes, you can substitute ladyfingers with any type of cookie you like, but traditional tiramisu calls for them. If you choose a different cookie, you may need to adjust the soaking time.

Can I make this without mascarpone?

If you don’t have mascarpone cheese, you can substitute with cream cheese for a similar texture and flavor, though it will have a slightly tangier taste.

Can I add ice to the drink?

Yes! You can add ice cubes to the glass for an extra chilled version, especially on hot days.

Can I make this drink without the whipped cream topping?

Absolutely! If you prefer a lighter version, you can skip the whipped cream and just top with cocoa powder and chocolate syrup for flavor.
