  6. Sprinkle the top with additional cocoa powder for garnish, and serve immediately.

Chef’s Insight

To create the perfect vegan tiramisu, find the best quality Savoiardi cookies that are both crunchy and soft in texture.

Notes

To achieve the best texture, be sure to soak the cookies just enough so they soften but don't disintegrate.

Cultural or Historical Background
