Vegan Tiramisu - Nut-free

This Vegan Tiramisu has fluffy layers consisting of a homemade sponge cake dipped in freshly brewed coffee. On top, we put a soft cream made from yogurt and tofu, completely nut-free, cheese-free and egg-free.

This tiramisu is an indulgent dessert served in single-portion cups and covered with a sprinkle of cacao powder.

Tips

Tiramisu is the most emblematic dessert of Italian cuisine. It is served cold and it is adored for its creaminess and bitter sweet taste. The perfect mixture of contrasts in each layer make this dessert a true delight for your palate.

• How to serve Tiramisu: Use cacao powder as a sprinkle, or decorate the surface with coffee beans covered in dark chocolate. If you want a fruity finish, it is beautiful and refreshing with candied orange peel or fresh orange zest.
• Tiramisu with fruit: For a tasty and summery variety, replace the coffee with rum-flavored fruit syrup. After arranging the tiramisu, use fresh strawberries or raspberries on top, these go well with the rich "mascarpone" cream.

• If you like coffee flavoured desserts, try our Vegan Coffee Custard. It is soft and creamy and works perfectly in birthday cakes and pastries.

Storage

This tiramisu without mascarpone or eggs can be kept in the fridge wrapped in foil or covered with an air-tight lid for 3 days.

Instructions

 

Vegan Mascarpone Cream

• With an immersion blender, emulsify (blend) the soy milk with the melted vegetable butter.
• Blend together all the ingredients for the mascarpone cream (drained yoghurt, tofu, butter-milk emulsion, and sugar). If you use unrefined sugar, blend it first separately.

Vegan Sponge Cake

• In a bowl, mix water, oil, vanilla and sugar.
• Sift flour, cornstarch and baking powder and add them to the liquid mixture, stirring with a spatula until the mixture is smooth.
•  Bake in the oven for about 30 / 40 minutes at 180˚C [360˚F].

Assemble the Tiramisu

• In small glasses, add a layer of sponge cake, wet it with sweetened coffee, and top with the vegan mascarpone cream.
• Repeat the previous step till you reach the rimo of the glass. Top with some cacao powder.
• Store the tiramisu in the refrigerator for a couple of hours before consuming it, this makes the flavour more intense.

Notes

If you can, please use a digital scale for our recipes. This way you'll get the best results.

We use calculateme.com to convert grams to US volume measurements. We believe they have the most accurate conversion algorithm. If must use cups and spoons, then use the "spoon and level" method. That is, spoon the ingredients into the measuring cup, or measuring spoon. Then level the excess with a knife.
