What Is Espressomisu?

How to Make Espressomisu

Step 1: Brew the Espresso

Pull a fresh double shot of espresso into a pre-warmed cup.

Step 2: Infuse the Milk

Gently heat the milk until warm but not boiling. Add the crushed Savoiardi biscuit and let it infuse for 1–2 minutes to release a subtle baked aroma. Strain to remove solids.

Step 3: Prepare the Mascarpone Cream

Stir sugar into the warm infused milk until fully dissolved. Add mascarpone, heavy cream, and vanilla extract. Froth or whisk vigorously until the mixture becomes smooth, airy, and pourable.

The texture should be velvety and light — not dense.

Step 4: Assemble

Slowly pour the mascarpone cream over the espresso. Finish with a light, even dusting of cocoa powder.

Serve immediately and enjoy while hot.
