This Tiramisu Cold Brew recipe transforms your coffee break into a dessert-inspired treat, layering rich cold brew with a creamy mascarpone topping and a dusting of cocoa powder. It’s quick, easy, and perfect for impressing guests or indulging yourself at home.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (100g) coarse-ground coffee beans (medium or dark roast)
  • 4 cups (950ml) filtered water
  • 1/3 cup (80g) mascarpone cheese (or full-fat cream cheese as substitute)
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons (15g) powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon (5ml) vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) dark rum or coffee liqueur (optional; Kahlua, Tia Maria, or omit for non-alcoholic)
  • Ice cubes (enough to fill glasses)
  • Cocoa powder (for dusting; Dutch-processed preferred)
  • Ladyfingers (optional, for garnish)
  • Sugar or simple syrup (1-2 teaspoons per serving, to taste)

Instructions

  1. Combine 1 cup coarsely ground coffee with 4 cups filtered water in a large jar or French press. Stir to wet all grounds, cover, and steep in the refrigerator for 12-18 hours.
  2. Strain the cold brew through a fine mesh sieve, coffee filter, or cheesecloth into a clean container. Discard grounds.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine mascarpone, heavy cream, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and rum or coffee liqueur (if using). Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 1-2 minutes until soft peaks form and the mixture is glossy and spoonable.
  4. Taste the cold brew and sweeten with sugar or simple syrup as desired (start with 1 teaspoon per glass). Stir to dissolve.
  5. Fill tall glasses with ice cubes. Pour in 3/4 to 1 cup cold brew per glass.
  6. Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the mascarpone cream topping onto each glass, letting it float for a layered effect.
  7. Dust the top with cocoa powder using a small sifter or tea strainer. Garnish with a ladyfinger if desired.
  8. Serve immediately with a long spoon or straw.

Notes

For best results, use coarse-ground coffee and filtered water. The mascarpone cream can be made up to 2 days ahead and stored in the fridge. For a dairy-free version, use vegan cream cheese and coconut cream. Adjust sweetness and liqueur to taste. For extra flair, garnish with a ladyfinger or chocolate stick. Store cold brew and cream separately if prepping ahead.
