Introduction:
If you love tiramisu, get ready—because this Tiramisu Milkshake Delight gives you all the best flavors of the
classic Italian dessert in a cold, creamy, sip-able form. Think bold espresso, sweet vanilla, a touch of cocoa, and that
signature creamy richness you normally get from mascarpone. Only this time? It’s blended into a milkshake that’s ready in
minutes.
This is the perfect “treat-yourself” drink for warm afternoons, movie nights, dinner parties, or anytime you want dessert but
don’t want to bake. It’s also incredibly flexible: you can make it extra thick like a spoonable shake, lighten it up with
Greek yogurt, or make a no-caffeine version using decaf coffee.
The best part is the topping. A swirl of whipped cream (or whipped mascarpone cream if you really want to go all in) plus a
dusting of cocoa instantly makes it look fancy—like something from a café. Serve it in a chilled glass with a cookie on the
side and you’ve got a dessert moment that feels special, even on a weekday.

- 1/4 cup mascarpone cheese (or cream cheese in a pinch)
- 1–2 tbsp maple syrup or sugar (optional, depending on sweetness preference)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt (makes flavors pop)
- Optional: 1 tbsp cocoa powder (for deeper chocolate notes)
Optional “tiramisu” boosters
- 2–3 ladyfingers, lightly crushed (or vanilla wafers)
- 1 tbsp coffee liqueur flavor substitute (non-alcoholic coffee syrup works)
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon (subtle warmth)
Toppings
- Whipped cream
- Unsweetened cocoa powder (for dusting)
- Chocolate shavings

Instructions:
1) Chill your glasses (quick café trick)
