Ingredients

• Espresso
• Milk
• Ice
• Vanilla syrup
• Cocoa powder
• Sweet cream or mascarpone cream

Instructions

1. Step 1: Fill a glass with ice to chill your drink thoroughly.
2. Step 2: Add freshly brewed espresso and the desired amount of vanilla syrup to the glass.
3. Step 3: Pour in milk to fill the glass, according to your preferred coffee-to-milk ratio.
4. Step 4: Gently top the drink with a generous layer of sweet cream or mascarpone cream for that creamy tiramisu flavor.

Tips & Variations

• Use cold-brewed espresso for a smoother taste and less acidity.
• Substitute sweet cream with whipped mascarpone for a more authentic tiramisu experience.
• Add a splash of coffee liqueur for an adult twist.
• Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of vanilla syrup or using flavored syrups like hazelnut or caramel.

Storage

The Iced Tiramisu Latte is best enjoyed immediately for the freshest flavor and optimal creaminess. If needed, you can prepare the espresso and sweet cream separately in advance; store them in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Avoid storing the assembled drink as ice will dilute it and affect texture when melted.

How to Serve

FAQs

Can I use regular coffee instead of espresso?

Yes, but espresso provides a richer and more intense flavor that balances well with the creamy elements. If using regular coffee, brew it strong to mimic espresso’s depth.

What can I use if I don’t have vanilla syrup?

You can substitute with simple syrup mixed with a few drops of vanilla extract or use flavored coffee syrups that you have on hand for a different but delicious twist.
