Ingredients
Ladyfinger Layer
- 1 cup brewed espresso
- 4 teaspoons marsala wine or rum (optional)
- ¼ cup sugar
- 16 vegan ladyfingers following my recipe, or using store-bought
Vegan Mascarpone Layer
- 1 cup vegan mascarpone or unsweetened vegan yogurt
- ½ cup vegan butter room temperature
- 1 cup vegan powdered sugar sifted
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or vanilla powder
To Serve:
- ⅓ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips chopped
- ½ cup sifted cocoa powder
- 1 cup Cocowhip or vegan whipped cream for topping optional
Instructions
- Start by brewing the espresso and letting it cool. If you're adding marsala wine or rum, mix it with the espresso in a shallow dish. Stir sugar into this mixture until it's well dissolved.
- Dip each ladyfinger briefly into the espresso mixture, making sure they're coated but not too soaked.
- For the vegan mascarpone layer, using a food processor or stand mixer, whip the vegan mascarpone (or vegan yogurt) with soft, room-temperature vegan butter until smooth. Gradually mix in the sifted vegan powdered sugar, salt, and vanilla extract.
- Lay out a layer of soaked ladyfingers in your serving dish. Spread half of the vegan mascarpone mixture over these ladyfingers.
- Optionally sprinkle in chopped chocolate chips, before adding another layer of soaked ladyfingers over the mascarpone layer, then top with the remaining mascarpone mixture.
- Chill the tiramisu in the fridge for 3 hours, or overnight.
- Optionally, pipe vegan whipped cream on the top.
- Sprinkle generously with sifted cocoa powder before serving.

Notes
- ☕ Quick Dip Technique:
- ☕
- Dip ladyfingers in the coffee just enough to moisten them. If they have a glaze, gently scrape with a fork before dipping to ensure proper absorption without getting soggy.
- 🌀 Smooth Mascarpone Whip:
- 🌀
- Whip vegan mascarpone or yogurt until smooth for the right creamy texture. Avoid graininess or excess oiliness for the perfect mouthfeel.
- 🍰 Even Layering Art:
- 🍰
- Use an offset spatula for even spreading of layers in your Tiramisu. It ensures uniformity and neatness in every slice.
- 🕒 Chill to Perfection:
- 🕒
- Give your Tiramisu ample chilling time, a few hours, or preferably overnight. This helps the dessert set properly for neater slices and enhanced flavors.
