Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240ml) cold brew coffee
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) whole milk or half-and-half
  • 2 tbsp (30g) mascarpone cheese (or cream cheese/Greek yogurt as substitute)
  • 2 tbsp (30ml) heavy cream (or coconut cream for dairy-free)
  • 2 tsp (8g) powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp (2.5ml) vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp (1g) instant espresso powder (optional, dissolved in 1 tbsp hot water)
  • 1–2 tbsp (15-30ml) simple syrup or maple syrup (to taste)
  • Unsweetened cocoa powder (for dusting)
  • Ladyfinger cookies (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Pour 1 cup cold brew coffee into a tall glass or jar.
  2. Add 1-2 tbsp simple syrup or maple syrup to the coffee and stir. If using, dissolve instant espresso powder in 1 tbsp hot water and mix into the cold brew.
  3. In a small mixing bowl, combine mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Whip with a hand whisk or electric mixer until thick and fluffy (about 1-2 minutes).
  4. Add 1/4 cup milk or half-and-half to the sweetened cold brew and stir gently.
  5. Carefully spoon the whipped mascarpone cream over the coffee mixture, letting it float on top to create two distinct layers.
  6. Dust a generous pinch of unsweetened cocoa powder over the cream using a sifter or fine mesh strainer.
  7. Garnish with a ladyfinger cookie or crumble on top, if desired.
  8. Serve immediately with a straw or long spoon. Stir gently before sipping if you prefer blended layers. For a colder drink, add a few ice cubes before layering the cream.

Notes

Chill all ingredients for best results. Whip the cream to soft peaks for a pillowy topping. Adjust sweetness and coffee strength to taste. For dairy-free, use coconut cream and non-dairy milk. The cream topping can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours; re-whip before serving. For a gluten-free version, skip the ladyfinger garnish or use gluten-free biscuits.
