The viral tiramisu latte! This ice latte drink is so simple to make. It’s easy to see why this drink is all the rage on social media! Let me show you how to make an iced tiramisu latte at home.
There are so many reasons why I love this tiramisu latte. First, you know by now that I love all things coffee related! From homemade coffee recipes to coffee ice creams, I am here for it all! I may have mentioned a few times before that I am part Italian too – so tiramisu is my love language. This latte combines both of my loves into one delicious drink!
What is an Iced Tiramisu Latte?
A regular latte combines fresh brewed espresso with milk. This latte is similar to classic lattes except it has a few classic elements from traditional tiramisu. It incorporates amaretto syrup, chocolate and Mascarpone into one amazing latte. The best part? It’s super simple to make at home and enjoy whenever you feel like tiramisu in a glass!
Tiramisu Latte Ingredients
Unlike most of my copycat coffee drinks, this one requires a few special ingredients. They are easy to find and once you have them on hand, you can whip up with latte fast! To make a tiramisu latte you will need:
- espresso
- milk
- mascarpone
- chocolate sauce
- amaretto syrup
- whipped cream
- ice
- lady fingers
Espresso – I always say that if you don’t have an espresso machine, no problem! Use a high quality coffee or instant espresso! I love this Cafe Bustelo brand instant espresso.
Milk – Use your favorite milk or dairy-free milk option here. Want to make this even creamier? Try adding heavy cream instead of the milk!
Mascarpone – Here is where the magic starts to happen with this latte! Mascarpone is a creamy Italian cheese that is used on pastries and in baked goods.
Most commonly used in tiramisu! You can find mascarpone in the cheese section of most grocery stores. You only need a little for this latte so save the rest for classic tiramisu or my tiramisu cheesecake!
Chocolate sauce – You can use your favorite store bought chocolate sauce, such as Hershey’s, or you can make your own! We love this homemade chocolate sauce because it’s so simple and has so much flavor!
Amaretto syrup – This one may be a little harder to find, but it adds so much authentic flavor to this latte. I have this Torani amaretto syrup in my pantry and use it more often than I thought I would!
Whipped cream – This is another ingredient that you can make at home or buy at the store. My kids love helping make our homemade whipped cream, so we opt for homemade.
Lady fingers – These are optional, but are nice to dip into your coffee. You can find them in the Italian section of grocery stores.
How to make an Iced Tiramisu Latte
Once you have gathered all your ingredients, it’s time to whip up your latte! Follow these simple steps to make your homemade tiramisu latte in no time!
Step 1: Mix sweeteners. Mix together the chocolate and amaretto syrups with the espresso.
Tip: The sweeteners mix best if the espresso is warm. Even if you use instant, make sure the water is hot.
Step 2: Pour over ice. Add ice to a glass and pour the espresso mixture over top. Add your milk of choice.
Step 3: Mix mascarpone and whipped cream. In a small bowl mix together the two. Pour it over the top of the milk. Top with a lady finger and enjoy!
Recipe FAQs and Tips
What does a tiramisu latte taste like? Easy! It takes like a slice of tiramisu in a cup! It is a classic Italian dessert that has notes of amaretto and chocolate mixed with a creamy mascarpone cheese.
Tip: Adding the lady finger is a nice touch and almost like biscotti. It is optional but a fun addition.
Do I have to add the mascarpone? No, you don’t have to use it, but it does help with the authentic flavor of this drink. It can be harder to find at small grocery stores, so feel free to omit it if you can’t find it.
Tip: Use a spatula to mix together the mascarpone and whipped cream before adding it to your drink.
