Tiramisu is an Italian cold dessert with hints of coffee and cocoa. It is prepared with mascarpone cheese and a mild-flavored sponge cake, although this time we bring you its vegan version made with peanuts, sponge cakes, and aquafaba. Now, this is a bit of trial and error, as well as substituting some ingredients to adjust the dessert to your liking. The peanut that we will use is unsalted, but it still has a fairly predominant flavor, so you can change it for cashews, for example. Likewise, the vegetable drink we use is soy milk, which you can substitute for rice milk, almond milk, coconut milk, or even water.
This delicious vegan tiramisu is eaten very cold and is quite light, making it ideal for dessert after lunch or as a sweet appetizer for an afternoon with coffee. If you want to learn how to make vegan tiramisu, keep reading that in this article we teach you how.
