Ingredients
To make this delightful vegan tiramisu, you'll need just a few simple ingredients. The secret to its incredible creaminess lies in the combination of soy cream and soy yogurt!
- 1 cup (240ml) cold soy vegetal cream (for whipping)
- 1 cup (240ml) soy yogurt (such as Soyasun brand for best results)
- 2 tablespoons (or to taste) cocoa powder, plus more for dusting
- 1 cup (240ml) strong brewed coffee, cooled, OR soy milk mixed with a tablespoon of cocoa powder (for a kid-friendly version)
- 1 pack digestive biscuits or rusk (ensure they are vegan-friendly)
- 1-2 teaspoons vanilla extract (optional, if your cream isn't pre-flavored)
- 2-4 tablespoons sugar or other sweetener (optional, if your cream isn't pre-sweetened)
- Optional toppings: Chopped walnuts or chocolate chips
Instructions
Follow these easy steps to assemble your luscious vegan tiramisu.
- Prepare the Coffee/Milk Mixture: Brew strong coffee and let it cool completely. If making the kid-friendly version, mix soy milk with cocoa powder until well combined and cooled.
- Make the Cream: In a large bowl, pour the cold soy vegetal cream. Using an electric mixer, whip the cream until it forms stiff peaks and doesn't move when you tilt the bowl. This is crucial for a stable cream!
- Fold in Yogurt: Gently fold in the soy yogurt into the whipped cream. Be careful not to deflate the cream.
- Adjust Sweetness & Flavor: Taste the cream. If it's not sweet enough or you prefer a vanilla hint, gently mix in the optional vanilla extract and sugar until desired taste is achieved.
- Assemble Layers:
- Quickly dip each digestive biscuit or rusk into the cold coffee (or cocoa milk) mixture. Do not over-soak, as they will become too soft.
- Arrange a single layer of the soaked biscuits at the bottom of your serving dish.
- Spread an even layer of the prepared vegan cream over the biscuits.
- Lightly dust with cocoa powder.
- Repeat the layers: biscuits, cream, cocoa powder, until you run out of ingredients.
- Add Toppings (Optional): For the final top layer, consider adding chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or extra cocoa powder. You can also add nuts or chocolate in the middle layers for extra texture and flavor.
- Chill and Serve: For the best results, especially if using rusk, make your tiramisu in advance! Refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the biscuits to fully soften and the flavors to meld, creating that signature creamy, soft texture.
Tips & Variations
- The Chill Factor: Do not skip the chilling time! This is essential for the tiramisu to set properly and for the biscuits to fully absorb the liquid and become tender.
- Biscuit Choice: While digestive biscuits are easy to find, you can experiment with other plain, firm vegan biscuits or even thin slices of vegan sponge cake.
- Gluten-Free Option: Simply use gluten-free digestive biscuits or a gluten-free vegan sponge cake as your base.
- Flavor Boosts:
- For an adult version, add a tablespoon of vegan-friendly coffee liqueur (like Kahlúa or a rum alternative) to your coffee mixture.
- Swirl in some vegan caramel sauce or a hint of almond extract into the cream for a different flavor profile.
- Garnish with fresh berries for a touch of tartness to balance the richness.
- Cream Consistency: Ensure your soy cream is very cold before whipping. If it's not whipping easily, try chilling your mixing bowl and beaters in the freezer for 10-15 minutes beforehand.
