Hazelnut Tiramisu Latte

A hazelnut tiramisu latte pairs our Tiramisu Latte with our Hazelnut Latte — mascarpone-and-cocoa tiramisu flavor against a nutty hazelnut edge, the same pairing Italian dessert menus have used for decades (a “tiramisu alla nocciola” is a real thing, not an invented combo). No third jar to build: just 1 tablespoon each of two bases you may already keep on hand.

Make Both Bases First (Just Once)

This recipe assumes you already have a jar each of Tiramisu Sauce and Hazelnut Syrup in the fridge. They don’t keep the same length of time: the tiramisu sauce has real mascarpone in it and only lasts about a week, but the hazelnut syrup keeps a full 2 weeks. If you’re building your first jar of either, go make that one first, then come back here.

Building the Drink

1. Pull a double shot of espresso (about 2oz) directly into your cup, or brew a strong coffee/moka pot equivalent.
2. Stir in 1 tbsp of the tiramisu sauce and 1 tbsp of the hazelnut syrup while the espresso is still hot — same 2 tbsp of total flavoring as any single-flavor latte on this site, just split between the two jars instead of doubled up on one.
3. Steam or froth 8oz of milk to about 150°F (see How to Make a Latte at Home for the full technique) and pour it over the espresso mixture.
4. Top with whipped cream, a dusting of cocoa powder, and chopped toasted hazelnuts if you want the full café look.

Café grande hazelnut tiramisu latte (specialty-menu pricing, tax included)$6.35

Home hazelnut tiramisu latte (espresso, milk, both bases)~$0.96

Savings per drink$5.39

Both bases together cost about $2.41 total to make (~$1.33 for the Tiramisu Sauce batch, ~$1.08 for the Hazelnut Syrup batch). The tiramisu sauce batch is the smaller of the two (about 7 drinks’ worth vs. hazelnut’s 12), so plan to use it within a week and expect to remake it more often than the hazelnut syrup.

Assumptions: grande-size drink, national-average specialty-menu pricing for a two-flavor combo drink, dairy milk, $16/lb specialty beans or equivalent grocery beans. No seasonal ceiling on this one — at 5 hazelnut tiramisu lattes a week over the site’s standard 48-week year, that’s roughly $1,294/year back in your pocket versus the café version.

Swaps & Notes

• No espresso machine? A moka pot or strong AeroPress shot works fine.
• Want it more dessert-forward or more nutty? Shift the ratio — 1.5 tbsp tiramisu sauce + 0.5 tbsp hazelnut syrup leans mascarpone-and-cocoa, or the reverse leans nutty. The cost and calorie math above assumes an even 1:1 split.
• Only have one of the two bases made? This drink genuinely needs both — if you’re out of one, make the plain Tiramisu Latte or plain Hazelnut Latte instead rather than doubling up on whichever jar you have.
• Watching sugar? See the Sugar-Free Hazelnut Tiramisu Latte for the same 1 tbsp each method with a lower-sugar build.
• Iced version: use the Hot/Iced toggle above the ingredients to switch — less milk (about 4oz cold over ice instead of 8oz steamed), same method as every other iced drink on the site.

FAQ

Do I need to make a whole new syrup for this?

No — it uses 1 tbsp each of the Tiramisu Sauce and Hazelnut Syrup you’d make for our plain Tiramisu and Hazelnut Latte recipes, so if you already keep either on hand, you’re most of the way there.

Is hazelnut-and-tiramisu a real flavor pairing?

Yes — hazelnut is a classic addition to Italian tiramisu (sometimes made with a hazelnut liqueur or ground hazelnuts folded into the mascarpone layer), so this combo is grounded in the actual dessert, not an invented café mashup.

Why does the tiramisu sauce only keep a week?

It’s made with real mascarpone, a fresh dairy product, so it doesn’t keep as long as the hazelnut syrup side of this combo, which lasts a full 2 weeks. Plan your tiramisu batch size around using it within about a week.

Can I make this without an espresso machine?

Yes — a moka pot, AeroPress, or even strong drip coffee works. See How to Make a Latte at Home for the no-machine method.
