Frozen Tiramisu Espresso Martini

5.0

2 Reviews

These frozen espresso martinis draw inspiration from tiramisu, a popular Italian dessert. Here, coffee and espresso are used to create the frozen drink while mascarpone combines with cream to create a light, fluffy topping. Whip the cream until it’s just thickened, but doesn’t form soft peaks, or the mixture will be too firm to drink. Finish the drinks with a dusting of cocoa powder to mimic the iconic look of the dessert.

  3. Whisk cream, mascarpone and the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons agave (or maple syrup) and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla together in a small bowl until thickened, but soft peaks have not formed, about 1 minute.

  4. Remove the glasses from the freezer; evenly dollop the whipped cream mixture on top, gently smoothing the layer with the back of a spoon. Lightly dust with cocoa powder, if desired.
