Tiramisu Latte
A decadent coffee treat that combines the rich flavors of tiramisu with the comfort of a latte
Welcome to a delightful fusion of Italian dessert and coffee culture! Our Tiramisu Latte brings together the beloved flavors of the classic tiramisu with the comforting warmth of a perfectly crafted latte. This recipe draws inspiration from the traditional tiramisu, a dessert that gained popularity in the 1960s in the Veneto region of Italy.
We use a bold espresso as the base, complemented by a velvety mascarpone cream and a hint of cocoa. The coffee beans are a medium-dark roast, ground fine for espresso, and brewed to perfection. The result is a harmonious blend of bitter coffee notes, creamy sweetness, and a subtle chocolate finish that will transport your taste buds to a cozy Italian café.
