5 minute Tiramisu Iced Latte

Tiramisu Iced Latte is a creamy, coffee-forward drink inspired by the classic Italian dessert. With layers of espresso, milk, a touch of cocoa, and a hint of mascarpone flavor, it’s a refreshing way to enjoy tiramisu in a glass.

Okay, you all know I am a sucker for dessert inspired coffees (looking at you, Dairy Free Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew and Banana Bread Latte). This tiramisu iced latte has quickly become a new favorite in my rotation. It is creamy, coffee forward, and gives me all the cozy tiramisu vibes without needing a fork and plate.

It is layered with espresso, a touch of vanilla, a light cocoa dusting on top, and that dreamy mascarpone style cream that makes tiramisu so special. Think of it as your coffee shop order with a Lovely Delites twist. Just like my other latte recipes, it is simple enough for weekdays but fun enough to feel like a treat.

How to Make Your Latte

Prepare the espresso. Brew one to two shots of espresso and pour into a glass filled with ice. Add the milk and set aside.

Make the cold foam. In a frother or small bowl, whisk together mascarpone, heavy cream, vanilla bean paste, and maple syrup until thick and creamy.

Assemble the drink. Spoon the cold foam over the espresso and milk. Dust the top with cocoa powder.

Garnish and serve. Add a ladyfinger cookie on the side and an extra sprinkle of cocoa or instant coffee if desired. Sip and enjoy your tiramisu inspired treat.

Sweet Little Secrets for the Best Tiramisu Latte

Use chilled espresso. Let your espresso cool for a minute or two before pouring it over ice so it does not melt everything too quickly.

Froth it right. A handheld frother gives the mascarpone cream the best texture, but you can also whisk by hand if needed.

Make it dairy free. Swap mascarpone for a spoonful of dairy free cream cheese and use coconut cream in place of heavy cream.

Dress it up. Garnish with a ladyfinger cookie or dust with instant coffee for that classic tiramisu look.

Flavor Variations for Tiramisu Iced Latte

One of the best parts about making lattes at home is how easy it is to switch up the flavors. This tiramisu iced latte is already a dessert in a glass, but you can play with a few fun twists to keep things interesting:

Mocha Tiramisu Latte – Add a teaspoon of cocoa powder or a splash of chocolate syrup to the espresso before pouring in the milk.

Caramel Tiramisu Latte – Drizzle caramel sauce (or my coconut caramel) into the glass before adding ice and espresso for a sweet layered effect.

Spiced Tiramisu Latte – Sprinkle in a little cinnamon or nutmeg to the cold foam for a cozy variation.

Almond Tiramisu Latte – Use almond extract in the cold foam instead of vanilla for a nutty spin on the classic.

How to Serve and Store

Serve: This latte is best enjoyed right after making while the foam is thick and creamy. Pour it into a tall glass over ice, dust with cocoa powder, and if you want to lean into the tiramisu vibes, add a ladyfinger cookie on the side.

Store: The latte itself does not keep well once assembled, but you can make the mascarpone cream mixture up to 2 days ahead and keep it covered in the fridge. Just give it a quick whisk or froth before topping your drink.
