I’ve had my eye on this Tiramisu Tippers recipe for a while because I just love tiramisu. Read through the ingredients, and you’ll probably be just as eager to try it. Coffee ice cream, chocolate-covered espresso beans, creme de cocoa, Kahlua–Yum!! I also liked that this drink is served in tiny espresso cups. Not just because they’re cute (and they are), but because I usually like really sweet cocktails in small quantities. With that said, let’s dive in and see what this tiramisu coffee cocktail recipe is like.
The Ingredients
As you can see, there aren’t a ton of ingredients for this recipe, and I’m totally okay with that. I was very pleased that I had all of the liquors on hand and only had to shop for the ice cream and espresso beans. You know I love short grocery lists. The only “problem” with this recipe is you will have a lot of leftover chocolate covered espresso beans, but I’m sure the leftovers won’t go to waste. I know mine won’t!
Amaretto was surprisingly not on the list of ingredients. I mean, tiramisu needs amaretto, so shouldn’t tiramisu coffee? But I didn’t worry about it too much. That mystery would quickly be solved when I made my Tiramisu Tippers.
The Process
The instructions for this recipe are short and clear. Just place everything but the chocolate covered espresso beans into a blender and let the blender do its thing.
Then roughly chop a few of those yummy espresso beans, pour the drinks, and gently place the chopped beans on top. And I do mean gently–I had a few beans sink to the bottom because I wasn’t careful enough. I have to say the extra care was worth it, though, because the garnish gives a pretty plain looking drink something extra.
My Tiramisu Tippers were made, poured, and garnished in 4 minutes, making this even quicker to prepare than after-dinner coffee or espresso.
I only got 4 servings out of this recipe instead of 8, but my espresso cups are 3.8 ounces while the serving size listed was 1 ounce. I’m sure I would have had more than 8 servings with smaller cups.
