Description

This Vegan Tiramisu offers a rich, creamy, and plant-based twist on the classic Italian dessert. Made with smooth vegan mascarpone, coconut cream, and naturally sweetened with maple syrup, layered between espresso-soaked vegan ladyfingers and dusted with cocoa powder, it’s perfect for those seeking a dairy-free and egg-free indulgence.


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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Layer the Cream: Spread half of the prepared mascarpone cream evenly over the layer of soaked ladyfingers.
  5. Add Second Layer: Repeat the dipping and layering with another layer of dipped ladyfingers, then top with the remaining mascarpone cream, smoothing it carefully.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
