Instructions
- Brew a shot of espresso and set aside to cool slightly.
- In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until hot but not boiling, stirring occasionally to prevent scalding.
- In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the mascarpone cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Once the milk is hot, gradually pour it into the mascarpone mixture, whisking continuously until well combined and frothy.
- In a serving glass, arrange the ladyfingers at the bottom. Pour the shot of espresso over the ladyfingers, allowing them to soak for a few moments.
- Carefully pour the warm milk and mascarpone mixture over the espresso-soaked ladyfingers, stirring gently to combine the layers.
- Dust the top of the latte with cocoa powder using a fine sieve for an elegant finish.
- Serve hot and enjoy your homemade Tiramisu Latte, perhaps with a sprinkle of chocolate shavings for an extra touch!
Tips
- For a stronger coffee flavor, use a double shot of espresso.
- You can substitute almond or oat milk for a dairy-free version.
- Experiment with flavored syrups, such as hazelnut or vanilla, for added depth.
