This tiramisu uses gluten-free flour, plant milk, coconut cream, vegan cream cheese, coffee, maple syrup, cocoa powder, and dairy-free chocolate. The sponge includes xanthan gum and apple cider vinegar, while the "mascarpone" layer is made with coconut cream and vegan cream cheese.
Learn how to cook Vegan Gluten-Free Tiramisu by first baking a gluten-free sponge cake, then creating a vegan "mascarpone" with coconut cream and vegan cream cheese. Layer these components with coffee-soaked cake pieces and cocoa powder in a glass dish, refrigerate overnight, and finish with a final dusting of cocoa powder before serving.
Yes, you can substitute coffee with chicory root coffee alternative or rooibos tea with a drop of coffee extract for flavour. For a completely different profile, try using hot chocolate or chai tea as your soaking liquid, adjusting sweetness as needed.
Gluten-free sponges can be more delicate. Ensure you're using xanthan gum as a binder, don't over-bake the cake, and let it cool completely before cutting. For easier handling, you can freeze the cake for 20 minutes before slicing it horizontally into layers.
This vegan tiramisu can be prepared up to 2 days in advance and stored covered in the refrigerator. The flavours actually improve with time as the coffee soaks through and the layers meld together. Add the final cocoa powder dusting just before serving for the best presentation.
