Treat your ingredients with care...
- Cashews — Soaking the cashews overnight helps to soften them, making them easier to blend into a creamy consistency.
Tips & Tricks
- For a stronger coffee flavor, increase the amount of brewed coffee or espresso used to soak the ladyfingers.
- If you prefer a less sweet Tiramisù, reduce the amount of maple syrup in the cashew cream mixture.
- To make the Tiramisù alcohol-free, omit the rum or coffee liqueur.
- Ensure the ladyfingers are fully cooled before dipping them into the coffee or espresso to prevent them from becoming too soggy.
- Allow the Tiramisù to chill for at least 4 hours to achieve the best texture and flavor.
Serving advice
Serve the Vegan Tiramisù chilled for the best taste and texture. It can be enjoyed as a delightful dessert after a vegan Italian feast or as a sweet treat on its own.
Presentation advice
When serving, use a rectangular dish to showcase the beautiful layers of ladyfingers and creamy cashew filling. Dust the top with cocoa powder in a decorative pattern or sprinkle some chocolate shavings for an extra touch of elegance.
