Ingredients:
- 2 tbsp (12g) instant coffee powder
- 2 tbsp (25g) granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp (30ml) boiling water
- ½ cup (115g) mascarpone cheese, softened
- ½ cup (120ml) heavy whipping cream, chilled
- 2 tbsp (25g) powdered sugar
- 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
- 1 cup (240ml) whole milk
- 2 shots (60ml) strong brewed espresso
- 1 tsp (2g) cocoa powder
Instructions:
- Pour the chilled milk into the bottom of two glasses.
- Slowly pour 1 shot (30ml) of hot espresso over the milk in each glass without stirring to create a marbled effect.
- In a small bowl, combine the instant coffee, sugar, and boiling water.
- Using a hand mixer on high speed, whip the coffee mixture for 3–5 minutes until it transforms into a thick, pale-gold foam with stiff peaks.
- In a separate bowl, whip the chilled heavy cream and powdered sugar until medium peaks form.
- Gently fold in the softened mascarpone and vanilla extract using a spatula until smooth.
- Spoon a generous layer of the Mascarpone Cream over the milk and espresso base.
- Top the cream with a dollop of the Whipped Coffee Foam.
- Finish with a light dusting of cocoa powder through a sifter.
