Tiramisu White Russians Recipe
Introduction
The Tiramisu White Russian is a decadent twist on the classic cocktail, combining creamy textures with rich coffee and rum flavors. It’s an indulgent treat perfect for dessert lovers who enjoy a boozy finish to their meal.
Ingredients
- 4 oz. cold heavy cream
- 2 tsp. granulated sugar
- Ice
- 4 oz. dark rum
- 4 oz. Kahlúa
- Unsweetened cocoa powder, for garnish
- 1 Ladyfinger cookie, halved crosswise
Instructions
- Step 1: In a pint-sized glass jar, combine the cold heavy cream and granulated sugar. Seal the jar and shake vigorously for about 3 minutes until the cream thickens enough to hold a soft peak. Alternatively, whisk or use a handheld mixer to beat the cream until soft peaks form.
- Step 2: Fill two rocks glasses with ice. Divide the dark rum and Kahlúa evenly between the glasses and stir gently to combine.
- Step 3: Spoon the whipped cream over the top of each drink, using the back of the spoon to smooth it into an even layer that covers the surface. Dust the tops lightly with unsweetened cocoa powder and place a half of the Ladyfinger cookie on each glass as garnish.
Tips & Variations
- For a richer flavor, chill the glasses before preparing the cocktail.
- You can substitute the dark rum with vodka for a more traditional White Russian base.
- If you prefer a sweeter drink, increase the sugar slightly when whipping the cream.
- Try using espresso powder sprinkled with the cocoa powder for an extra coffee kick.
Storage
This cocktail is best enjoyed immediately for the freshest texture and flavor. If you prepare the whipped cream in advance, store it refrigerated and use within 24 hours. Do not store the mixed cocktail for later as the cream layer will lose its texture.
How to Serve
Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.
