Ingredients:
For the Cashew Cream:
- 1 1/2 cups raw cashews (soaked for 4 hours)
- 1/2 cup coconut milk (full-fat)
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
For the Coffee Mixture:
- 1 cup brewed strong coffee (cooled)
- 2 tablespoons coconut sugar or regular sugar
- 2 tablespoons coffee liqueur (optional)
For Assembly:
- 1 pack vegan ladyfingers or sponge cake slices
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder (for dusting)
Instructions:
- Prepare the cashew cream: Drain the soaked cashews and add them to a blender along with coconut milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. Set aside.
- Make the coffee mixture: In a shallow dish, combine the brewed coffee, sugar, and coffee liqueur (if using). Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
- Dip the ladyfingers: Dip each vegan ladyfinger or sponge cake slice into the coffee mixture, making sure they absorb the liquid but do not become too soggy.
- Layer the tiramisu: In a serving dish, start by spreading a layer of the coffee-soaked ladyfingers. Then add a layer of cashew cream on top. Repeat this process until you run out of ingredients, finishing with a layer of cashew cream.
- Chill and set: Cover the tiramisu with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld.
- Dust with cocoa powder: Before serving, dust the top of the tiramisu with cocoa powder for a classic finish.
