Tiramisu Cold Cocoa Drink Recipe: A Creamy Winter Dessert Recipe

How to Make Tiramisu Cold Cocoa

Step-by-Step Instructions

Take a glass jar. Mix coffee and cocoa powder.

Add a little water and froth with a frother. Keep it aside.

Mix mascarpone cheese and 2 tsp. whipping cream in a bowl.

Add powdered sugar.

Now mix it gently.

Achieving the Perfect Layers

Take a glass and fill it with ice cubes. Pour milk into the glass.

Pour cold brew over the top.

Take the remaining whipping cream in any bowl and whip it a little. Pour whipped cream on the top of the glass. Garnish and serve chilled.

Cold brew coffee can be made with an espresso machine or with espresso powder.

Kitchen Note: If a professional frother is not there, the other thing that can do this job is a mason jar. All it takes is some vigorous shaking of a mason jar sealed and half-filled with cold milk for a minute.

Variations: Hot, Spiked, & Vegan Options

How To Make A Hot Tiramisu Latte

As the name suggests, the ‘latte’ version of the classic Italian tiramisu beverage features espresso, cocoa powder, and sweetened milk all blended with the signature mascarpone cream topping. The result is a rich, creamy, velvety beverage that writes a perfect bittersweet ending with some cocoa dusting on top. Here, a double shot of espresso, cocoa powder, and sugar pairs with steamed milk and a dollop of whipped mascarpone, heavy cream, and powdered sugar mixture. Besides the hot latte version, one may also try an iced tiramisu latte as well for variety.

Turning it into a Tiramisu Martini

While a Tiramisu latte tastes exquisitely delightful, adding a subtle ‘martini’ touch to it makes it enter the boozy drinks table. To try this alcoholic version, add some coffee liqueur, Kahlua, and vanilla vodka to the classic mascarpone cream, and then strain it into a martini glass and garnish it with some cocoa powder or chocolate shavings.

Vegan Tiramisu

In this tiramisu drink, the vegan spin comes with replacing mascarpone or soft cream cheese with plant-based cheese or cream options. Combine espresso, chocolate syrup, plant-based cream, and a splash of dairy-free liqueur and serve it cold, in a chilled martini glass with a dust of cocoa powder.

Serving & Garnish Ideas

The classic dessert beverage with an Italian elegance is all about class, comfort, and indulgence. And when it comes to this tiramisu drink, serving and garnishing are as important as focusing on its preparation. Serving them on classic martini glasses with some dipped ladyfingers on top takes the appearance to a whole new level. Alternatively, they can be served in coupes or lowball tumblers as well. Once the drink is assembled, make sure it gets a subtle cocoa dusting on top along with some chocolate shavings.

Storing Your Drink

As the tiramisu drink can always be made in advance, it is ideal to store it in an airtight container or cover it tightly with a plastic wrap and refrigerate it for 3 to 4 days. Experts often recommend placing them in the coldest part of the refrigerator to ensure the mascarpone and other dairy components of the drink are saved from spoiling. If storage is required for 2-3 weeks, freezing is the ideal option.
