Tiramisu Latte

How To Make Tiramisu Latte

Tiramisu syrup blends in with notes of cocoa, coffee and gentle sweetness, giving the drink its unmistakable flavour. The finishing touch is a smooth mascarpone-style topping.

You will need

  • Milk Frother
  • Espresso Machine
  • Latte Mugs
  • Mixing Bowl

Ingredients

  • 2x espresso shots
  • 1 cup steamed milk
  • 15 ml tiramisu syrup
  • 15 ml mascarpone cheese
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream (or milk for a lighter version)
  • 1/2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp rum extract (optional)
  • Unsweetened cocoa powder (for dusting)
  • 1 Sponge finger

Tasting Notes: A tiramisu latte lands with a smooth hit of espresso upfront, followed by gentle cocoa warmth and a soft sweetness from the syrup. The mascarpone-style topping adds a creamy lift without turning the drink heavy, and the cocoa dusting brings a clean, faint bitterness that ties everything together. It tastes like a dessert, but still very much like coffee.

Frequently asked questions

Tiramisu is a classic Italian dessert made with layers of coffee-soaked ladyfingers, sweet mascarpone cream and a dusting of cocoa powder. It’s known for its light texture, rich flavour and the balance of bitterness from espresso with the sweetness of the cream. It’s served chilled and is one of Italy’s most recognisable and well-loved desserts.

Mascarpone is a soft, rich Italian cheese made from cream. It has a smooth, velvety texture and a mild, slightly sweet flavour. Its high fat content gives desserts like tiramisu their signature creaminess. In drinks, it adds a luxurious, dessert-like finish without being overly heavy.

Traditional tiramisu often includes a splash of coffee liqueur or marsala wine, but it’s not strictly required. Many modern versions skip the alcohol entirely, and drinks inspired by tiramisu typically leave it out unless added intentionally.

Not necessarily. The sweetness depends on the amount of syrup used. A well-balanced tiramisu latte keeps the espresso flavour upfront, with the dessert notes staying light and complementary.

Yes. Strong brewed coffee or a concentrated cold brew can work as substitutes, though espresso gives the most authentic flavour and depth.

Whole milk gives the creamiest result, but oat and other plant milks also work well. Choose something with a bit of body to hold up against the bold flavours of the tiramisu syrup.
