THE LAYERS

HOMEMADE LADY FINGERS

It's not easy to find store-bought vegan-friendly ladyfingers, so it is best to make your own. I used the vegan lady finger recipe from one of my favourite vegan food bloggers, Lazy Cat Kitchen.

They are really light and very easy to make.

Here is the recipe.

Each biscuit is dipped in a coffee and liquor mixture before layering them in the bowl.

WHIPPED VEGAN CREAM

Use a good quality, whip-able plantbased cream. I would not recommend using a coconut based cream, as that will change the flavour profile.

A DUSTING OF CACAO

To finish the tiramisu.

TO MAKE THE TIRAMISU YOU WILL NEED

• A whip-able vegan cream (I used Oatly)

• Vanilla bean paste

• Icing sugar

• Cacao powder

• Espresso or cold coffee

• Coffee Liqueur

• Vegan ladyfinger biscuits, recipe here.

MAKE IT NON- ALCOHOLIC

You don't have to add the liqueur if you want to keep it alcohol-free. You can always add more coffee if needed.

NO LADYFINGERS

Biscoff biscuits or a light sponge cake will be a good alternative instead of ladyfingers.
