PLANT BASED TIRAMISÙ

This year for a special holiday dinner, why not prepare a plant based Tiramisù. This is a typical Italian dessert that mixes the strong flavour of coffee and cocoa with the sweetness of a soft mouth watering cream. I made it in ramekin dishes, so it’s easier to serve.
Tiramisu_01
  • 0-12 Rich tea biscuits 
  • 1 cup of Coffee
  • 200g Cashew nuts, soaked overnight
  • 4-5 Dates, soaked for ½ hour
  • 80ml Plant based milk (I’ve used unsweetened Oat drink)
  • 4tbsp Vegetable oil
  • 4 ramekins or dessert glasses
  • Cocoa powder to serve

method

  1. Break the biscuits roughly with a rolling pin and place them at the bottom of your dessert glasses or ramekins, pressing down well.
  2. Pour the coffee on the biscuit base of each glass/ramekin.
  3. Mix the cashew nuts with the dates in a food processor, gradually add the plant based milk and oil.
  4. When the mix is creamy and completely smooth, distribute between the cups/ramekins, covering the biscuit base.
  5. Cover the cashew cream layer with sieved cocoa powder.
  6. Place the glasses/ramekins into the fridge for about 2 hours before serving.
  7. ENJOY!
Extra tips: Note: for a child friendly version you can replace the coffee with dark hot chocolate PRINT RECIPE
