# What You'll Need:

01 - 2 shots (2 fl oz) hot espresso
02 - 1 fl oz coffee liqueur (optional)

03 - 4 ladyfinger biscuits (savoiardi), crumbled

05 - ⅓ cup heavy cream (3.4 fl oz)

08 - ½ tsp vanilla extract

→ Garnish

09 - Unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting

# How to Make It:

01 - Brew espresso and while hot, pour over crumbled ladyfingers in a shallow bowl. Add coffee liqueur if desired and let soak for 2 minutes.
02 - In a bowl, whisk mascarpone, heavy cream, milk, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and slightly thickened.
03 - Divide the espresso-soaked biscuit crumbles evenly between two large latte glasses or mugs.

05 - Dust the tops generously with cocoa powder and optionally add dark chocolate shavings. Serve immediately with a spoon.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • It tastes like tiramisu but drinks like your favorite latte, so you get the best of both worlds.
  • Ready in 15 minutes, which means you can have a luxurious coffee moment without the stress.
  • The layers look stunning in a glass, making even a quiet morning feel a little special.
02 -
  • The mascarpone must be soft and creamy before you mix it, or it will be lumpy and won't blend smoothly with the other ingredients.
  • Don't let the biscuits soak longer than 2 minutes, or they'll disintegrate into the coffee and lose their texture entirely.
  • Room temperature ingredients make all the difference—cold mascarpone and cream won't whip properly and will feel heavy rather than luxurious.
03 -
  • Chill your glasses in the freezer for 5 minutes before serving so the drink stays cold longer and the contrast stays pronounced.
  • If you find the drink too thick, thin it out with a splash more milk when you're mixing the cream—it should be pourable, not stiff.
  • Make the cream mixture just before you serve it; sitting for more than 15 minutes will cause it to separate slightly and lose some of that luxurious texture.
