Vegan Tiramisu is a fabulous dessert – we lace our Vegan Tiramisu with Rum, but you can use Sherry or Brandy if you prefer. Lots of Vegan recipes use cashews, but we have a nut free version here. It does take some time, baking the cake, making the vegan cream cheese cream but it’s well worth it. Do use proper coffee for brushing the cake with, instant just isn’t the same. We dust it with cocoa, and grated chocolate, but fee free to use only the cocoa if you prefer.
If you like you can replace the dairy free yoghurt with silken tofu, both are good options for Vegan Desserts. Some people dip the cake fingers into the Coffee and Rum mixture but I think it makes the cake too soggy. I prefer to brush enough of the mixture to soak through and add flavour.
