Aphrodite’s Golden Sunrise Tiramisu
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
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
In a separate bowl, mix together the cooled brewed coffee and almond extract.
- 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
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
Refrigerate the tiramisu for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld and set.
- 6
Before serving, dust with cocoa powder using a fine mesh sieve.
