Notes
Notes
- For an iced version, use cold milk instead of steamed milk and serve over ice.
- Add a splash of coffee liqueur (like Kahlúa) or rum for a boozy tiramisu coffee.
- If you don’t have mascarpone cheese, substitute with a mix of cream cheese and heavy cream.
- Adjust sweetness by adding more or less sugar according to taste.
- For extra flavor, try using a cinnamon or chocolate-flavored espresso blend.
