Ingredients

The recipe uses 4 main components:

• Lady Fingers: Opt for plant-based ladyfingers, homemade versions, or other vegan crackers or biscuits.

• Vegan Mascarpone Cream: A plant-based twist made from coconut cream, soft tofu, vegan butter, caster sugar, and vanilla extract. The mascarpone cream adds a rich and creamy texture, mimicking the traditional dairy-based version.

• Pistachio Paste: Elevating the dish with a creamy blend of pistachio nuts. Use store-bought pistachio paste or follow the recipe below to make your own.

• Espresso or Strong Coffee: Dip ladyfingers in strongly brewed coffee for a robust flavor infusion. The intensity of the coffee is crucial to enhance the final taste of the dessert.

Instructions

Vegan Mascarpone Cream:

1. In a food processor, combine the soft tofu, coconut cream, melted vegan butter, caster sugar, and vanilla extract.
2. Blend the ingredients until smooth and creamy. Adjust sweetness to taste, if needed. Refrigerate while you make the other ingredients.

Pistachio Butter:

1. In a food processor, blend the shelled pistachios, melted coconut oil, and a pinch of sea salt until a smooth butter-like consistency is achieved.
2. Add the pistachio butter to the vegan mascarpone cream and use a hand mixer to mix the cream until it becomes fluffy (about 5 minutes).

Espresso Syrup:

1. Brew 2 shots of espresso or prepare ½ cup of strong coffee.

Assembly:

1. Dip each ladyfinger into the espresso syrup, ensuring they are soaked but not overly soggy.
2. Layer the soaked ladyfingers at the bottom of a serving dish.
3. Spread a generous layer of the Vegan Mascarpone Cream over the ladyfingers.
4. Drizzle some of the Pistachio Butter over the cream layer.
5. Repeat the layering process until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of the Vegan Mascarpone Cream on top.
6. Garnish the top with the processed pistachios for a delightful crunch and added flavor.
7. Refrigerate the Vegan Pistachio Tiramisu for at least 4 hours, allowing the flavors to meld together and the dessert to set.
8. Serve chilled and enjoy this creamy, nutty, and indulgent plant-based dessert!
