Tiramisú comes from Italian tira mi sú, meaning “lift me up”. This dessert (when made right) really lifts you up! How if I made vegan tiramisú?
I still remember the first time I tasted tiramisú – I was lucky to have a real one in Italy. I do not exaggerate when I say I thought it was the best thing I’d ever had.
Years later I made my own following an authentic recipe and again, it was better than ever as it didn’t include too much sugar and I could actually taste the ingredients.
Now, for the first time after switching to plant-based diet, I created vegan tiramisú, which tastes awesome.
Finally, please let me know in the comments below if you have any questions about my vegan tiramisú. Please tag me in social media whenever you try one of my recipes! I’d love to see your creations! Instagram @thenutriplanet and Facebook @nutriplanet.health.hub

Vegan Tiramisú Recipe
- Yield: 3 servings 1x
Description
Tiramisú comes from Italian tira mi sú, meaning “lift me up”. This dessert (when made right) really lifts you up!
Ingredients
- 115g (4oz) organic whole grain cookies (I used spelt)
- 400g (14oz) silken tofu
- ½ cup cashews, soaked for 2–3 hours
- Juice of half a lemon
- 3 tbsps. agave syrup
- Cacao powder
- 4cl rum
- Coffee
Instructions
- First, break the cookies into smaller pieces with your hands.
- Then, prepare about 100ml strong coffee. If you’ll have kids to have the dessert, boil the alcohol out of the rum before you mix it into the coffee or use rum essence.
- Next, pour the excess water out of the tofu package. Now, using an immersion or a regular blender, process all the filling ingredients until smooth.
- Take three dessert bowls or glasses. Start compiling the tiramisú:
- 1st layer: cookies. Moist them with coffee and rum mix.
- 2nd layer: tofu and cashew cream
- 3rd layer: cookies. Moist them with coffee and rum mix.
- 4th layer: tofu and cashew cream
- Sprinkle raw cacao powder on top. Let it sit in fridge for 6-8 hours. You can eat it sooner, but the longer it sits, the better it tastes.
And now cave in!
