Tiramisu Martini Recipe - The Cookie Rookie® (2024)

FAQs

What is tiramisu drink made of? ›

This easy co*cktail recipe contains three of my favorite liqueurs: Kahlua, Godiva Chocolate, and Rum Chata. Combined with cream, you're left with a dessert co*cktail that tastes just like the famed Italian dessert, Tiramisu!

Roberto Linguanotto, a Venetian pastry chef who is often credited with the invention of tiramisu back in the 1960s, says that his creation is expensive because of the espresso used in another essential component to the dessert: espresso-soaked ladyfingers (via The Straits Times).

Tiramisu doesn't traditionally have alcohol, it's just made with espresso/coffee. Some versions, especially at nicer restaurants, do have Kahlua, marsala or other booze (e.g. amaretto, brandy, rum), and it depends how much but usually it's fine, but you may check with where you're ordering from.

Does tiramisu contain alcohol? Traditionally, yes. The ladyfingers which form the base of the cake are usually brushed with or soaked in a mixture of coffee and a liquor such as amaretto, cognac, or rum. It's not a lot of alcohol, perhaps a tablespoon or two, but it is usually there.

Tiramisu (1 piece - 2 3/4" x 3 1/2") contains 38.3g total carbs, 38g net carbs, 38.6g fat, 9.7g protein, and 541 calories.

The mascarpone cheese in Tiramisu contributes a healthy amount of protein and fat. Protein contributes to muscle health and satiety, and despite being a dessert, Tiramisu does offer some protein benefits. It's also a natural source of calcium – about 3% of the daily recommended intake in each slice.

Kahlúa adds sweetness to your Espresso Martini, balancing out the other ingredients. And it helps create that velvety mouth-feel. What's a non-alcoholic alternative to Kahlúa in an espresso martini? As Kahlúa adds the sweetness and heavy mouth-feel, you'll need an alternative for that sensory experience.

Should Kahlúa be refrigerated? No, but we recommend to store it in a cool dry place once opened. What percentage of alcohol is in Kahlúa Original?

Yes! Once you open a bottle of Kahlua, it's just a matter of time before it goes bad. The shelf life is only four years but the flavor starts going downhill after about two or three years so it's best not to drink this beverage past that date if possible.

Does tiramisu taste like alcohol? ›

Tiramisu made without alcohol really doesn't taste of alcohol. Tiramisu made with alcohol (normally Marsala) include the taste of that alcohol.

With a base of Marsala wine and crafted with decadent, high-quality ingredients, Tiramisú Italian liqueur is every bit as indulgent as its namesake. A dark, amber color with golden highlights, hints of vanilla, mocha, cocoa bean and toasted hazelnut.

The latte is not overly sweet. It has a hint of sweetness but it doesn't feel like a “dessert coffee” (that'll give you a sugar crash instead of caffeine boost lol). It feels like a coffee with a tiramisu flavor. Can be made with an espresso machine or with espresso powder.
