Tiramisu is a classic Italian dessert that combines coffee-soaked ladyfingers with a creamy, mascarpone-based filling. This vegan version of tiramisu offers a delicious and cruelty-free take on the traditional recipe, using plant-based ingredients to create a light and flavorful dessert.
The filling in this vegan tiramisu is made with silken tofu, which provides a smooth and creamy texture, along with coconut cream for richness and maple syrup for sweetness. Cashews add a nutty flavor and help to thicken the filling, while espresso powder and coffee liqueur provide a deep coffee flavor. The ladyfingers are soaked in a mixture of espresso and almond milk, and the whole dessert is topped with a dusting of cocoa powder.
This vegan tiramisu is not only delicious, but it is also relatively easy to make. It can be prepared in advance and chilled until ready to serve, making it a perfect dessert for special occasions or busy weeknights.
In addition to the traditional tiramisu recipe, the article also includes variations such as a chocolate tiramisu and a strawberry tiramisu. The chocolate tiramisu is made with a chocolate-infused filling, while the strawberry tiramisu features a layer of fresh strawberries between the ladyfingers and the filling. Both variations are just as delicious as the traditional tiramisu, and they offer a fun and creative way to enjoy this classic dessert.

Steps:
- Make the ladyfingers: In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a separate medium bowl, cream together the butter and sugar with an electric hand mixer until fully combined. Add the aquafaba and vanilla and beat for 2-3 minutes, until light and fluffy. The mixture may look broken, but will come together once the dry ingredients are added.
- Add ½ of the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and beat until just combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and add the almond milk. Beat until combined. Add the rest of the dry ingredients and beat until smooth.
- Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and grease with nonstick spray.
- Transfer the batter to a piping bag fitted with a ½-inch round tip or a zip-top bag with a corner snipped off. Pipe the ladyfingers onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing at least 1½ inches apart. Each cookie should be 2¼ inches long and ¾ inch wide. You should have 50-55 total.
- Chill the piped cookies in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180˚C).
- Bake the ladyfingers for 13-15 minutes, until the edges are light brown. Let cool completely.
- Make the vegan mascarpone: Add the cashews to a medium heatproof bowl and pour in enough boiling water to cover by 1 inch (2.5 cm). Let soak until slightly plumped and softened, about 10 minutes. Drain.
- Add the cashews, almond milk, maple syrup, coconut oil, salt, vanilla, and lemon juice to a blender. Blend until smooth. Set aside.
- Scoop the solid layer from the cans of chilled coconut milk into a large bowl. Discard the liquid or save for another use. Add the powdered sugar and beat with an electric hand mixer until light and fluffy, 2-3 minutes.
- Using a rubber spatula, fold the blended cashew mixture into the whipped coconut milk.
- Make the soaking liquid: In a shallow bowl, combine the espresso, water, and rum. Alternatively, replace the espresso and water with 1½ cups (360 ml) of brewed coffee cooled to room temperature.
- Assemble the tiramisu: Spread about a ½ cup (65 grams) of the mascarpone in the bottom of an 8-inch square baking dish. Quickly dip a ladyfinger in the espresso mixture and place on top of the cream. Repeat with more ladyfingers to cover the cream, 16-18 total. Carefully spread about 1 cup (130 grams) of the mascarpone over the ladyfingers, then add another layer of ladyfingers, another layer of cream, and a final layer of the remaining ladyfingers. Spread the remaining mascarpone cream on top.
- Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
- Before serving, uncover the tiramisu and lightly dust the top with cocoa powder.
- Slice into 9 portions and serve.
- Enjoy!

VEGAN TIRAMISU
A classic Italian dessert made super easy by using whipped coconut cream and vegan cream cheese. I always dust the top of my tiramisu with a thick layer of cocoa powder to counteract the sweetness of the dessert.

Steps:
- Place the coconut milk can in the fridge overnight so the cream separates out and hardens. Remove from the fridge the next day, flip the can over and open from the bottom of the can. Pour out the liquid leaving the hardened coconut cream behind. Scoop the cream into a bowl and whisk until fluffy. Whisk in the vegan cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Chill until needed.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F Mix the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Add the vegetable oil, coffee and vanilla and stir together until just smooth. Line an 8-inch square tin with baking paper and pour in the cake batter. Bake for 25-30 minutes until a skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Set aside to cool then break into roughly 2-inch chunks.
- When ready to assemble gather 6-8 glasses. Mix the marsala and strong coffee in a wide, shallow bowl. Dip the cake chunks into the coffee mixture and place into the glasses to make the first layer. Top with a spoonful of the coconut cream. Repeat the dipping and layering until all the glasses are filled. Dust the tops of the glasses with a thick layer of cocoa powder and chill the glasses for at least an hour to set and soften.
Tips:
- Use a good quality coffee liqueur for the best flavor. If you don't have coffee liqueur, you can substitute rum, brandy, or even cold coffee.
- Make sure the ladyfinger cookies are completely soaked in the coffee mixture before assembling the tiramisu. This will help to prevent them from becoming dry and crumbly.
- Don't overbeat the vegan cream cheese mixture. Overbeating can cause it to become grainy and lose its smooth texture.
- Chill the tiramisu for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
- Garnish the tiramisu with cocoa powder or grated chocolate before serving.
