This no-bake recipe is easy to prepare, requiring just 30 minutes of hands-on time, and is best enjoyed chilled after setting in the refrigerator. Perfect for dinner parties or special occasions, this plant-based tiramisu serves up indulgence without compromise.
Start by making the chocolate cream. Add the dairy-free dark chocolate into a heatproof bowl and melt it over a pot of simmering water (bain-marie) or in a microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
In a mixing bowl, whip the coconut cream until it reaches soft peaks. Make sure to use only the solid part of refrigerated coconut cream for the best texture.
Gently fold the melted chocolate, vanilla extract, and maple syrup into the whipped coconut cream until thoroughly combined. Set aside.
Prepare the espresso by brewing it fresh. If using almond liqueur, mix it with the brewed espresso.
Dip each dairy-free ladyfinger quickly into the espresso mixture, ensuring both sides are soaked but the ladyfinger is not too soggy.
Layer the bottom of a serving dish (approximately 8x8 inches) with soaked ladyfingers.
Spread half of the chocolate cream over the layer of ladyfingers, smoothing it out evenly.
Repeat the layers: another layer of soaked ladyfingers and the remaining chocolate cream spread on top.
Cover and refrigerate the tiramisu for at least 4 hours or overnight for better flavor infusion and firming.
Just before serving, dust the tiramisu with cocoa powder and garnish with dairy-free chocolate shavings.
Cut into portions and serve chilled.
