This easy tiramisu cold brew recipe brings together creamy mascarpone foam, rich cold brew coffee, and a dusting of cocoa for a decadent, café-style treat you can make at home. Perfect for brunch, a midday pick-me-up, or impressing guests with your home café skills.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2/3 cup cold brew coffee (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1/2 cup milk (whole, oat, or almond milk)
  • 2 tablespoons mascarpone cheese
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder (for dusting)
  • Ice cubes (enough to fill glass 3/4 full, coffee ice cubes optional)
  • Optional: 1/2 ounce (1 tablespoon) coffee liqueur (Kahlúa or Tia Maria)

Instructions

  1. Prepare your cold brew: If making homemade, combine 1 cup coarsely-ground coffee with 4 cups cold water in a large jar or French press. Stir, cover, and steep in the fridge for at least 12 hours. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve or coffee filter. (If using store-bought, skip ahead.)
  2. Make the mascarpone foam: In a small bowl, combine mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Whip with a handheld milk frother or electric mixer for about 30–45 seconds, until thick, smooth, and slightly fluffy. If whipping by hand, whisk for 1–2 minutes until soft peaks form.
  3. Fill glasses with ice: Add enough ice cubes to fill your glass 3/4 full. For a stronger drink, use coffee ice cubes.
  4. Pour in the cold brew and milk: Pour cold brew coffee and milk over the ice. If using coffee liqueur, add it now. Stir gently to combine.
  5. Top with mascarpone foam: Spoon the mascarpone foam over the top of each glass. Spread gently or let it float.
  6. Dust with cocoa powder: Using a small sieve or mesh strainer, dust unsweetened cocoa powder over the foam.
  7. Serve and enjoy: Add a long spoon or straw. Sip, stir, and savor!

Notes

For best results, use freshly made cold brew and real mascarpone. Chill your bowl and ingredients before whipping the foam for maximum fluffiness. Adjust sweetness to taste. Coffee ice cubes prevent dilution. The mascarpone foam is best made fresh and used immediately.
