Expert Tips
- If you don’t have an espresso machine, you can still enjoy having a great Tiramisu latte using a Moka pot, or French press.
- How to froth milk? Use a simple milk frother! A milk frother is a device commonly used to make foam on beverages such as milk and coffee, and you can also use it as a small mixer.
- The first thing you need to know is that the milk you choose must be fresh, do not use milk that has been refrigerated for several days because you will not get the result you want. In general, whole milk, as well as non-dairy alternatives such as soy milk and oat milk, tend to give you a good foam to work with.
- To add a sweet and nutty flavor to the Tiramisu latte you may add a teaspoon of amaretto syrup.
Variations
- Tiramisu iced latte: For an iced version of this latte, brew your espresso or strong coffee and let it cool down. In a blender, combine the chilled espresso, milk, vanilla syrup, and cocoa powder. Blend well until all the ingredients are combined and frothy. Top with mascarpone whipped cream. Sprinkle with cocoa powder or chocolate curls over top.
