Vegan Tiramisu Fudge Bars
These Vegan Tiramisu Fudge Bars layer a smooth, creamy mascarpone-style filling made from soaked cashews with a coffee and cocoa rich base, creating a frozen dessert with balanced sweetness and a subtle tang. The bars combine coffee, cocoa, and vanilla flavors with a soft, fudge-like texture that can be sliced into bite-sized pieces and served chilled.

- optional: add a tsp or more liquor like rum or kahlua
Instructions
- Blend the ingredients for the mascarpone filling layer. Blend for a minute, then let the mixture rest for 2 mins, then blend again until very smooth and silky,
- Taste and adjust the sweet and tang and mix. Transfer to a bowl.
- In the same blender (no need to wash), Blend the cocoa coffee layer filling until smooth. Blend for a minute, then let the mixture rest for 2 mins, then blend again. Taste and adjust sweet and flavor if needed. I make these bars mildly sweet, so add sweet if needed, and blend in.
- Line a loaf pan with parchment. Pour the coffee cocoa mixture in and even it out. Freeze for 20 to 30 mins.
- Pour the mascarpone mixture on top and even it out. Sprinkle shaved chocolate or cocoa powder on top and freeze for 2 hours or longer. Then slice and store. I prefer to slice these into small bite size pieces. Serve after thawing for 5 mins or when they are soft enough to bite or use a spoon but not melting. .
Notes
- If using liquid sweeteners, reduce added water accordingly.
- Cashews can be substituted with macadamia nuts, coconut cream, or silken tofu though those variations are untested for this recipe.
- Coconut oil may be replaced with melted cocoa butter or increased cashew quantity.
- The recipe serves as a mildly sweet frozen dessert that softens slightly at room temperature before serving.
