Ingredients

Crumble Layer

250 grams of plain biscuits (ensure vegan-friendly)
1-2 tablespoons instant coffee
1 cup of water

Cream Layer

400 grams natural-flavored soy spread (similar to a thick vegan yogurt or cream cheese for best results)
½ cup of sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ cup of melted vegan white chocolate chips or melted cocoa butter
1 ½ tablespoons dissolved coconut oil

For Decoration

1 tablespoon cocoa powder

Equipment

Large mixing bowl
Deep bowl for cream
Whisk or spoon
Individual serving cups or glasses

Instructions

Prepare the Biscuit Base: Place the biscuits in a large bowl and break them with your hands into coarse, crumbly pieces.
Infuse with Coffee: In a separate small bowl, mix the instant coffee with 1 cup of water until fully dissolved. Pour this coffee mixture over the broken biscuits, mix gently until the biscuits are evenly moistened, and set aside.
Whip the Cream: In a deep bowl, combine all the cream ingredients: natural-flavored soy spread, sugar, vanilla extract, melted vegan white chocolate chips (or cocoa butter), and dissolved coconut oil. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is completely smooth and well combined.
Assemble the Tiramisu Cups: Arrange your individual serving cups on a counter.
- Transfer a small amount of the prepared cream mixture to the bottom of each serving cup.
- Place a tablespoon of the coffee-infused biscuit mixture on top of the cream layer.
- Add another layer of cream over the biscuits.
- Repeat the layering process until each cup is full, ensuring the final, top layer is a generous portion of the cream mixture.
Chill to Perfection: Place the assembled tiramisu cups in the refrigerator to set for at least four hours. This crucial step allows the dessert to firm up and flavors to meld beautifully.
Garnish and Serve: Before serving, use a small sieve or shaker to lightly sprinkle cocoa powder over the top of each dessert cup. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Variations & Adaptations

This recipe is fantastic as is, but as @kerent10 thoughtfully noted, you can easily customize it to your taste!

Amp Up the Flavor: For an extra kick, consider adding 1-2 tablespoons of vegan-friendly coffee liqueur or rum to the coffee mixture used for the biscuits. This adds a delightful depth of flavor often found in traditional tiramisu.
Gluten-Free Option: Simply use your favorite gluten-free biscuits to make this recipe suitable for those with gluten sensitivities.
Cream Base Alternatives: While soy spread works wonderfully, you can experiment with other thick plant-based creams like a cashew cream (made from soaked and blended cashews) or a thick coconut cream for a slightly different flavor profile.
Citrus Zest: A hint of orange or lemon zest can brighten the cream layer, adding a refreshing note.

Tips & Hacks

Patience is Key: The four-hour chilling time is essential for the tiramisu to properly set and for the flavors to fully develop. Don't rush this step!
Coffee Strength: Adjust the amount of instant coffee to your preference. If you love a bold coffee flavor, you can increase it slightly.
Individual vs. Large Dish: While individual cups are elegant and portion-controlled, you can also assemble this recipe in a larger square or rectangular dish for a family-style dessert. Simply layer as instructed.
Biscuit Texture: For a more uniform crumble, you can pulse the biscuits in a food processor a few times instead of breaking them by hand. Just be careful not to turn them into a fine powder.
