Ingredients
- 2 shots espresso (about 2 oz / 60 ml) or 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled
- 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk (or oat, almond, or coconut milk for dairy-free)
- Ice cubes (about 1 to 1.5 cups, enough to fill your glass)
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon coffee liqueur (optional, such as Kahlúa or Tia Maria)
- 1 to 2 teaspoons sugar or sweetener, to taste
- Cocoa powder, for dusting
- 1/3 cup (80 g) mascarpone cheese, chilled
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Chill your mixing bowl and beaters in the fridge for 10 minutes to help the mascarpone cream whip up faster and fluffier.
- Brew 2 shots of espresso (2 oz) or 1/2 cup strong coffee. Let it cool for 5 minutes.
- In the chilled bowl, combine mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, powdered sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract. Beat with a hand mixer on medium speed for 1-2 minutes until soft peaks form. Do not overbeat.
- Stir 1-2 teaspoons sugar (or sweetener) and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract into the cooled espresso. Add coffee liqueur if using. Mix until sugar dissolves.
- Fill a tall glass with ice cubes. Pour in the sweetened espresso mixture.
- Slowly add 1 cup cold milk, pouring over the back of a spoon for layered effect if desired.
- Spoon or pipe a generous swirl of whipped mascarpone cream on top of the latte.
- Dust cocoa powder over the cream using a sifter or fine-mesh strainer. Add chocolate shavings if desired.
- Insert a straw or long spoon, gently swirl, and enjoy immediately.
Notes
For best results, use cold ingredients and serve immediately. You can substitute cream cheese for mascarpone in a pinch, or use vegan alternatives for a dairy-free version. Adjust sweetness and coffee strength to taste. Prep the whipped mascarpone cream ahead and store in the fridge for up to 2 days. For extra flavor, try coffee ice cubes or add chocolate/caramel drizzle.
