Ingredients
- 1 ½ teaspoon mocha sauce for glass rim (store-bought or homemade with recipe linked in notes)
- 2 shots (2 oz) espresso or strongly brewed coffee
- 2 tablespoon vanilla syrup (store-bought or homemade with recipe linked in notes)
- 1 cup 2% milk
- ⅓ cup Velvet Mascarpone Cold Foam recipe below
- Cocoa Cookie Dusting recipe below
Velvet Mascarpone Cold Foam
- 3 tablespoon softened mascarpone cheese (see notes for ingredient amounts for pudding mix version of the cold foam)
- 2 ½ tablespoon vanilla syrup (store-bought or homemade with recipe linked in notes)
- ⅓ cup 2% milk
- ¼ cup heavy cream
Cocoa Cookie Dusting
- ¼ cup crushed cookies like lady fingers, vanilla cookies, or shortbread
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon instant espresso powder
Instructions
- Drizzle mocha sauce around the inside rim of a heat-proof glass.
- Brew espresso (or coffee) into the mocha-rimmed glass and stir in the vanilla syrup.
- Steam milk to about 150-155 degrees F using an espresso machine, handheld frother, countertop frother, microwave, or stovetop.
- Pour steamed milk into espresso and syrup.
- Top drink with velvet mascarpone cold foam. Sprinkle cookie crumbs on top and then sift a dusting of the cocoa/espresso mixture over it.
Velvet Mascarpone Cold Foam
- If using real mascarpone cheese, in a mason jar or other airtight container, whisk together 3 tablespoon mascarpone and 2 ½ tablespoon vanilla syrup until completely smooth. Add ⅓ cup 2% milk and ¼ cup heavy cream to the container and shake vigorously to combine.
- If using instant pudding mix, simply add ½ cup heavy cream, ⅓ cup 2% milk, 2 tablespoon vanilla syrup, and 2 teaspoon instant vanilla pudding mix to a jar or other airtight container and shake vigorously to combine.
- This is your mascarpone cold cream... Keep it in the fridge until you're ready to turn it into cold foam right before using.
- To turn into foam, you can either use an electric frother, hand mixer, or blender with about ⅓ cup of the cold cream at a time. Alternatively, you can shake the mixture vigorously in a mason jar until it's frothy.
Cocoa Cookie Dusting
- Crush cookies finely. Set aside.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together cocoa powder and espresso powder until well combined.
Notes
- Cold foam recipe with mascarpone should make enough for about 2 drinks. Turn it into cold foam in batches and keep the leftover sweet cream in an airtight container in your fridge until ready to use.
- If you want to make your cold foam with instant pudding mix instead of mascarpone, use:
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ⅓ cup 2% milk
- 2 tablespoon vanilla syrup
- 2 teaspoon instant vanilla pudding mix
- Cold foam with pudding mix should make enough for about 3 drinks.
- Cocoa Cookie Dusting recipe is enough for about 4 drinks.
- For homemade vanilla syrup, use this recipe.
- For homemade mocha sauce, use the recipe in this post.
