Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 240 ml Strong espresso coffee
- 60 ml Marsala wine (optional)
- 4 large Egg yolks
- 100 g Sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 400 g Silken tofu
- 200 g Dairy-free cream cheese
- 250 g Ladyfingers (egg-free, if needed, for vegan option)
- 2 tbsp Cocoa powder
- 20 g Dark chocolate shavings (optional)
Instructions
Prepare the espresso coffee and let it cool to room temperature. If desired, mix in the Marsala wine for a boozy kick.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks and sugar together until the mixture becomes pale and fluffy, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract, silken tofu, and dairy-free cream cheese to the egg mixture. Blend with a hand blender until smooth and creamy.
Pour the cooled espresso into a shallow dish. Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee, ensuring they are saturated but not falling apart.
Layer the bottom of a 9x9 inch (23x23 cm) dish with half of the soaked ladyfingers.
Spread half of the cream mixture evenly over the ladyfingers layer.
Create another layer with the remaining soaked ladyfingers, followed by the rest of the cream mixture.
Cover the tiramisu with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow flavors to meld.
Before serving, dust the top with cocoa powder and add dark chocolate shavings if using.
Slice into portions and serve chilled.
