This vegan tiramisu is a delicious pick-me-up layered dessert recipe, an eggless and dairy-free variant of the classic Italian dessert. Quick and easy to make at home, you don't need traditional mascarpone, cashews nor tofu – even novice vegan cooks will be able to prepare it in no time.
In our recipe, we replaced the ladyfingers with vegan cookies which we soaked in coffee to make them softer. Then, we alternate cookies with fluffy cream layers made of soy yogurt and vegan cream instead of mascarpone. Top this decadent dessert with a dusting of cocoa powder and chocolate chips.
You can serve vegan tiramisu in single-portion cups or in a single larger pan as we did. Serve it as a delicious layered dessert for a special occasion or as an afternoon break. So let’s find out how to make vegan tiramisu by following our step-by-step instructions and tips.
You can use store-bought vegan cookies, or vegan ladyfingers.
You can replace chocolate chips with chopped hazelnuts or sliced almonds.
Instead of brown sugar, you can use honey, maple syrup, agave or whole coconut sugar.
