Equipment

  • blender
  • pan
  • mini sifter

Ingredients
  

Cream Filling

  • 21 oz firm tofu drained from all the water about 1 ½ blocks of tofu
  • 1 cup vegan cream cheese 8 oz
  • cup granulated white sugar
  • cup dairy-free milk
  • 1 ½ tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 pinch salt

Other Ingredients

  • 20 vegan ladyfingers link to my ladyfingers recipe
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 2 tablespoon instant espresso powder
  • 2 tablespoon rum optional
  • cacao powder or cocoa powder

Instructions
 

  • Open the packages of tofu and drain all of the water. Use a paper towel or kitchen towel to press out all of the water from the tofu. Then add it to a food processor.
  • Add the rest of the cream ingredients to a blender and blend until super creamy and smooth. Set the filling aside.
  • In a separate bowl, add the warm water, then whisk in the espresso powder and rum.
  • Dip each ladyfinger into the coffee & rum mixture for a few seconds on each side. Then lay each ladyfinger in a baking dish. I used a 9 x 9 inch pan.
  • Once the whole bottom layer is covered in ladyfingers, pour half of the cream mixture on top of the ladyfingers and spread in an even layer. Dust a generous layer of cocoa powder on top of the cream filling.
  • Now layer another layer of ladyfingers on top of the cream, top with the remainder of the cream filling, and another generous layer of cocoa powder.
  • Refrigerate the tiramisu overnight to allow all of the flavors to absorb and the ladyfingers to soften.

Notes

  • Prep it up: Prep all the ingredients ahead of time when making this dessert. Get all your ingredients, pans, and spoons ready to make things smooth and effortless.
  • Move quickly: When assembling, you’ll need to move quickly to ensure the ladyfingers don’t start breaking. Get everything ready and have a system ready. Pick, dip, and layer.
  • Make ahead of time: This is actually one of those recipes that I would recommend making a day ahead of time, especially if you’re making it for a get-together. This allows the ladyfingers to soak up all the liquid and the mascarpone layer to hold its shape too.
