This tiramisu is made with a creamy mixture of vegan mascarpone, coconut cream, and maple syrup, and is layered with ladyfingers that have been soaked in coffee and coffee liqueur. The use of aquafaba instead of eggs in the ladyfingers and the use of coconut cream and maple syrup instead of dairy products make this recipe a healthier option while still maintaining a rich and indulgent flavor.
The Best Tasty Vegan Tiramisu
Ingredients
For the espresso layer:
- 2 cups of freshly brewed strong coffee
- 2 tablespoons of coffee liqueur optional
- 4 tablespoons of maple syrup
For the vegan mascarpone layer:
- 1 package of silken tofu about 12 ounces
- 1 can of coconut cream about 13.5 ounces
- 2 tablespoons of lemon juice
- 4 tablespoons of maple syrup
For the ladyfingers:
- 7 ounces of aquafaba the liquid from a can of chickpeas
- 7 ounces of all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder
- 2 tablespoons of maple syrup
For the topping:
- 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder
Instructions
- First, make the vegan mascarpone. In a food processor, blend the silken tofu until smooth. Then add the coconut cream, lemon juice, and 4 tablespoons of maple syrup and blend until well combined. Set aside.
- Next, make the espresso layer by brewing 2 cups of strong coffee and let it cool. Combine the cooled coffee with 2 tablespoons of coffee liqueur (if using) and 4 tablespoons of maple syrup in a shallow dish.
- Make the ladyfingers by whisking together the aquafaba and flour until stiff peaks form. Then, pipe the mixture onto a baking sheet and bake for about 10 minutes at 350Ā°F.
- To assemble the vegan tiramisu, dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture and place in a single layer in the bottom of an 8×8 inch square dish. Repeat until half of the ladyfingers are used. Then, spread half of the mascarpone mixture evenly over the ladyfingers. Repeat with another layer of ladyfingers and remaining mascarpone mixture. Finally, dust the top with 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder.
- Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight. Serve chilled and enjoy!
