Brace yourself, darling—this tiramisu isn’t your grandmother’s dessert unless she was into espresso, decadence, and unapologetically rich vegan indulgence.
Layered with bold coffee, lush dark chocolate, and creaminess that doesn’t ask permission, this dessert flirts and then fully commits.
It’s the power move of sweet treats—fancy, a little dramatic, and 100% plant-based, like your new skincare routine.
Each bite is bittersweet bliss, just like that text from your ex you didn’t reply to.
Spoons optional. Dignity? Also optional.
Serve it cold, bold, and confident—like you on a Monday with three coffees and no regrets.
