This Espresso Martini Tiramisu brings together the classic Italian dessert and the iconic cocktail in one indulgent treat. Ladyfingers are dipped in espresso spiked with vodka and coffee liqueur, then layered with a light, silky mascarpone cream. The result is a bold, boozy, aromatic dessert with deep coffee notes and a smooth, creamy finish—perfect for parties and festive evenings.
Brew a strong cup of espresso and let it cool slightly. Add the vodka and coffee liqueur and stir well. This forms the boozy soaking liquid for the ladyfingers, giving each layer the flavour of an espresso martini cocktail.

Step 2: Make the Mascarpone Cream
Whip the cream with sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form. In another bowl, whisk the mascarpone gently until smooth. Fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone in batches, creating a light, airy mixture that forms the creamy layer of the tiramisu.

Step 3: Dip and Layer the Ladyfingers
Dip each ladyfinger briefly into the espresso martini mix. Do not soak them—they should stay firm enough to hold structure. Arrange them in a single layer inside a glass dish or individual cups. This forms the flavour-packed base.

Step 4: Add the Cream Layer
Spread a generous layer of the mascarpone cream over the coffee-soaked ladyfingers. Smooth the top lightly using a spatula. This creamy layer balances the intense coffee and liqueur flavours, creating the familiar velvety richness of tiramisu.

Step 5: Repeat and Finish with Cocoa
Add a second layer of dipped ladyfingers followed by another layer of mascarpone cream. Dust the top with cocoa powder and finish with chocolate shavings if you like. Chill the tiramisu for 3–4 hours so the layers set, and the flavours develop fully.
