Remember that one time, back in college, when I accidentally used salt instead of sugar in my coffee? Yeah, that was a rough morning. But it taught me a valuable lesson: always double-check your ingredients! This Cold Brew Coffee Tiramisu recipe, though, is foolproof – even if you're half-asleep, you're unlikely to mess it up. I swear!
This recipe takes the classic Italian dessert and gives it a modern, caffeinated kick. Instead of traditional espresso, we're using cold brew coffee, which lends a smoother, less acidic flavor. The result? A creamy, dreamy, coffee-infused treat that’s perfect for any occasion. Trust me, it's a game-changer.
What’s so special about this tiramisu? Well, for starters, it’s incredibly easy to make. No baking required! Plus, the combination of cold brew coffee, creamy mascarpone, and a hint of coffee liqueur (if you’re feeling fancy) creates a flavor symphony that will make your taste buds sing. It's like a hug in a dessert, only colder and with coffee. And who doesn't love a good coffee hug?

🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Prepare the Cold Brew Coffee Mixture: In a shallow dish, combine the cold brew coffee and coffee liqueur (if using). Set aside.
- Make the Mascarpone Cream: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the mascarpone cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy. Be careful not to overmix; you want it light and fluffy, not runny.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until just combined. This is were you add that airiness, so gentle hands are key!
- Dip the Ladyfingers: Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the cold brew coffee mixture, making sure not to soak them completely. They should be moistened but not soggy. This part requires a delicate touch – you don't want them falling apart on you!
- Assemble the Tiramisu: Arrange a layer of the coffee-soaked ladyfingers in the bottom of an 8x8 inch baking dish. Break ladyfingers as needed to fit snugly in a single layer.
- Spread half of the mascarpone cream mixture evenly over the ladyfingers. Make sure it's a nice, even layer – presentation matters, even if it is just for you!
- Repeat Layers: Add another layer of coffee-soaked ladyfingers over the cream, followed by the remaining mascarpone cream. Smooth the top with a spatula.
- Dust with Cocoa Powder: Generously dust the top of the tiramisu with cocoa powder. Use a fine-mesh sieve for an even coating. This gives it that classic tiramisu look and adds a hint of bitterness that perfectly complements the sweetness.
- Chill: Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld together and the ladyfingers to soften. This is the hardest part, I know, but trust me, it's worth the wait!
- Serve: Before serving, you can garnish with chocolate shavings or coffee beans for an extra touch of elegance. Cut into squares and enjoy! Serve cold, and try not to eat the entire thing in one sitting (though I won't judge if you do!).
📝 Notes
- For a stronger coffee flavor, use espresso instead of cold brew.
- If you don't have coffee liqueur, you can substitute with a coffee syrup or extract.
- Make sure to use good-quality cocoa powder for the best flavor.
