Ingredients
  

  • 1-2 teaspoons sugar or maple syrup optional, for sweetness
  • ½ cup milk dairy or oat milk both work well
  • Ice cubes
  • 1 teaspoon cocoa powder plus extra for dusting
  • ½ cup espresso or very strong coffee cooled
  • 1 tablespoon mascarpone

Equipment

  • Tall glass
  • Whisk
  • Small bowl

Method
 

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the mascarpone, cocoa powder, and milk until the mixture becomes smooth and slightly airy. Don't overmix - aim for silky, not stiff.
  2. Fill a tall glass with ice cubes.
  3. Pour in the cooled espresso or very strong coffee.
  4. If desired, add sugar or maple syrup to sweeten.
  5. For a professional barista touch, pour the mascarpone cream mixture over the back of a spoon so it floats on top of the coffee rather than immediately sinking.
  6. Dust the top with a little extra cocoa powder for visual appeal and chocolate aroma.
  7. Give the drink a gentle stir before enjoying to marry all the flavors together.

Notes

For a dairy-free version, substitute the mascarpone with vegan cream cheese and use oat milk instead of dairy milk.
Want something less rich? Use just 2-3 teaspoons of mascarpone with a splash more milk.
For an extra fancy presentation, try rimming your glass with crushed ladyfingers or graham cracker crumbs mixed with cocoa powder - just moisten the rim with a little syrup first so the crumbs stick.
This recipe works perfectly with decaf espresso or cold brew concentrate for a caffeine-free option.
Store any leftover mascarpone cream mixture in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
