About This Recipe

A vegan take on classic Italian tiramisu, layering a coconut-almond custard with coffee-soaked vegan ladyfingers and dairy-free chocolate chips, chilled until set and dusted with cocoa powder.

This vegan tiramisu is inspired by the traditional Italian dessert, infused with Greek flavors and influences.

Ingredients

  • 2 cup almond milk
  • 1/2 cup coconut cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 tbsp coconut sugar
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled
  • 1 tsp pure almond extract
  • 1 cup dairy-free chocolate chips
  • 12 oz vegan ladyfingers (1 package)
  • cocoa powder for dusting

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a saucepan, combine the almond milk, coconut cream, vanilla extract, coconut sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Whisk until smooth. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    In a separate bowl, mix together the cooled brewed coffee and almond extract.

  3. 3

    Dip the vegan ladyfingers into the coffee mixture briefly, just enough to moisten without becoming soggy. Arrange a layer of moistened ladyfingers at the bottom of a 9×13 inch dish or individual serving glasses.

  4. 4

    Pour one-third of the cooled custard over the ladyfingers, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle one-third of the dairy-free chocolate chips on top. Repeat for another two layers.

  5. 5

    Refrigerate the tiramisu for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld and set.

  6. 6

    Before serving, dust with cocoa powder using a fine mesh sieve.

Chef's Notes

Plating Tips
