A Simple Recipe for Plant-Based Tiramisu

This simple recipe for vegan tiramisu (Rainbow Nourishments) is by an Aussie baker, who knows how to make the flavours pop, but gets it that most people are not going to have the time and inclination to find, buy and use all the different ingredients in this popular Italian dessert. So revert to those plastic pots in supermarkets.

Avoid for pregnancy/nursing due to caffeine. Before cooking, read up on food safety for people and pets (keep chocolate and coffee away from pets).

Tiramisu is a coffee/chocolate dessert that is Italian for ‘pick-me-up’. Unlike most vegan versions, Anthea’s recipe requires no soaking of nuts, nor needing sponge fingers (which can be difficult to find or fiddly to make).

Instead, it uses a simple base of vegan cookies (look in stores for Rhythm 108 which are both vegan and free from palm oil), and then replaces dairy with coconut cream (not milk).

These vegan tiramisu cupcakes (Rainbow Nourishments) are an alternative. Read our post on zero waste baking tools, for baking liners and cupcake cases.
