This copycat Dunkin Tiramisu Latte is espresso and milk with a homemade tiramisu syrup, topped with marshmallow cold foam and a dusting of hot chocolate. It tastes like coffee soaked ladyfingers with a creamy top, and you can make it iced or hot.
How Do You Make a Dunkin Tiramisu Latte? (Quick Answer)
Stir 2 tablespoons of homemade tiramisu syrup (coffee, cocoa, sugar and vanilla) into 2 shots of espresso, pour over ice and add 3/4 cup whole milk. Top with marshmallow cold foam made from cream, milk and marshmallow creme, then dust with hot chocolate mix.
At a glance
The one tip that matters: Stir the syrup into the hot espresso first. It dissolves right away there, but sinks to the bottom in cold milk.
Why You'll Love This Tiramisu Latte
- Dessert in a cup coffee, cocoa and vanilla, just like tiramisu.
- Fluffy top marshmallow cold foam takes 30 seconds.
- Pantry syrup no mascarpone needed for the syrup.
- Iced or hot one syrup, both drinks.
- Batch friendly a jar of syrup covers about 8 lattes.
What Is the Dunkin Tiramisu Latte?
Dunkin's tiramisu drinks are built on a tiramisu flavored swirl. The Tiramisu Cloud Latte pairs it with espresso and whole milk, then adds marshmallow cold foam and a sprinkle of hot chocolate powder, a nod to the cocoa dusting on top of tiramisu.
At home, a quick syrup does the work. It takes 5 minutes and keeps for weeks.
Ingredient Notes
Exact amounts are in the recipe card below.
- Cocoa and espresso powder: give the syrup its tiramisu flavor.
- Rum extract: optional, for the classic tiramisu note.
- Marshmallow creme: sweetens and stabilizes the cold foam.
- Whole milk: what Dunkin uses by default; any milk works.

Tips for Success
- Use real espresso if you can. Tiramisu is a coffee dessert, so a strong base matters.
- Rum extract is optional. It adds the classic tiramisu note. Leave it out for kids.
- Froth the foam cold. Cold cream holds the marshmallow and stays thick longer.
- Adjust the sweetness. Start with 1 1/2 tablespoons of syrup and add more to taste.
- Add it to anything. Like the swirl at the drive-thru, the syrup works in cold brew and iced coffee too.
- My weekend treat. I make the syrup on Sunday morning and have an iced tiramisu latte while Lucy and Max are at soccer practice.
