Ingredients
Cold Brew Coffee Layer
- 1 ½ cups cold brew coffee (store-bought or homemade)
- 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)
Instructions
- Mix the Cold Brew Layer: In a tall glass, combine the cold brew coffee and vanilla extract. Stir well to evenly blend the flavors and prepare the base of your tiramisu cold brew.
- Make the Tiramisu Foam: In a small bowl, whisk together heavy cream, mascarpone cheese, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Continue whisking until the mixture is thick, smooth, and can hold soft peaks, creating a rich and creamy foam.
- Pour the Foam Over Coffee: Gently spoon or pour the tiramisu foam over the cold brew coffee slowly to let it float on top, forming a distinct creamy layer reminiscent of traditional tiramisu.
- Add the Final Touches: Dust the top of the foam with cocoa powder for that signature tiramisu look and sprinkle with chocolate shavings if desired. Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Use chilled cold brew coffee to keep the drink refreshing and prevent the foam from melting quickly.
- You can make your own cold brew by steeping coarsely ground coffee in cold water for 12-24 hours.
- Adjust the sweetness by tweaking the amount of sweetened condensed milk in the foam.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute heavy cream and mascarpone with coconut cream and a dairy-free cream cheese alternative.
- Chocolate shavings add a nice decorative touch but can be omitted to keep it simpler.
