Ingredients
Vegan Mascarpone Cream
- 1 cup vegan mascarpone (store-bought)
- ½ cup coconut cream
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Espresso Mixture
- 2 cups brewed espresso
- ¼ cup coffee liqueur (optional)
Assembly
- 1 package of vegan ladyfingers
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder (for dusting)
Instructions
- Prepare the Cream Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the vegan mascarpone, coconut cream, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Whisk all ingredients together until smooth, creamy, and well incorporated. Set aside.
- Make the Espresso Dipping Mixture: In a shallow dish, mix the brewed espresso with the coffee liqueur if you choose to use it. This will serve as the flavorful soaking liquid for the ladyfingers.
- Dip the Ladyfingers: Quickly dip each vegan ladyfinger into the espresso mixture ensuring they absorb the flavor without becoming soggy. Arrange a single layer of these soaked ladyfingers at the bottom of your serving dish.
- Layer the Cream: Spread half of the prepared mascarpone cream evenly over the layer of soaked ladyfingers.
- Add Second Layer: Repeat the dipping and layering with another layer of dipped ladyfingers, then top with the remaining mascarpone cream, smoothing it carefully.
- Dust and Chill: Generously dust the top layer with cocoa powder, cover the dish with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, to allow flavors to meld and the dessert to set.
- Serve: Serve the tiramisu chilled, enjoying this indulgent, dairy-free take on the traditional Italian classic.
Notes
- For best results, chill the tiramisu overnight to enhance flavor and texture.
- If coffee liqueur is not desired or available, you can omit it for a completely alcohol-free dessert.
- Be careful not to soak the ladyfingers for too long to avoid sogginess.
- Use a good quality espresso for the most authentic flavor.
