Coffee-Flavored Tiramisu
This vegan coffee-flavored tiramisu delivers bold espresso flavor, creamy layers, and zero animal products—just indulgent vibes and a soft espresso punch.
Ingredients
For the cream layer:
- 1 ½ cups raw cashews soaked overnight
- ½ cup coconut cream
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp salt
For the espresso soak:
- ¾ cup strong brewed espresso cooled and bold
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp coffee liqueur optional but encouraged
For the cake base (ladyfinger alternative):
- 1 package vegan sponge cake or cookies roughly 8–10 pieces
- Topping:
- 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- Shaved dark chocolate optional but makes you look fancy
Instructions
- Soak cashews overnight or for 4 hours in hot water if you forgot (we all do).
- Blend cashews, coconut cream, maple syrup, lemon juice, vanilla, and salt until smooth and creamy. Zero lumps allowed.
- Brew strong espresso, stir in maple syrup and liqueur (if using), and let cool completely.
- Dip vegan cake pieces quickly into the espresso mixture—no soggy drama.
- Layer soaked cake on the bottom of your dish like you’re building emotional stability.
- Spread half the cashew cream mixture on top. Smooth it like you’re icing your ex out.
- Repeat with another espresso-dipped cake layer and finish with the remaining cream.
- Sift cocoa powder over the top with flair. Add chocolate shavings if you’re feeling yourself.
- Cover and chill for at least 3 hours. Overnight if you’re a planner (or asleep).
