Who doesn’t love a good tiramisu?
This is another dessert I was keen to make gluten free, dairy-free and egg-free. It’s something I know my whole family can enjoy and what’s even better is that it’s so easy and quick to prepare.
If you don’t have the right biscuits or yoghurt suitable for your food allergy, I’ve suggested some alternatives in the recipe.
Easy Gluten Free Vegan Tiramisu
Equipment
- A ceramic, glass or stainless steel dish
Ingredients
- 1 – 2 packets gluten free vegan digestive biscuits (cookies) Any plain biscuits can be used
- 2 tsp instant coffee powder Use decaf if avoiding caffeine
- 300 ml (10 oz) boiled water
- 500 ml (16 oz) dairy free yoghurt look for sugar free, if available or you can substitute for whipped coconut cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp coconut sugar can substitute for date sugar or maple syrup
- 30 ml (⅛ cup / 1 oz) Coffee liquor optional
- dairy free vegan cacao powder for dusting
- ground cinnamon for dusting
Instructions
Prepare the coffee
- Boil approx. 300ml water and pour into a bowl
- Add a teaspoon of instant coffee (and coffee liquor, if using) and stir. Set aside.
Tiramisu
- Take one biscuit (cookie) at a time and place in the brewed coffee bowl for a few seconds, turning over. (Don't leave to soak for too long otherwise biscuits will disintegrate).
- Then line the bottom of your dish with the coffee coated biscuit as evenly as possible. Doesn't need to be neat. You can break a couple biscuits in half to fill any gaps.
- Combine your yoghurt, vanilla extract, coconut sugar in a separate bowl. Spoon the first layer of your yoghurt mixture on top of the layer of biscuits in your dish. The yoghurt layer should be about an inch thick approx.
- Next, place another layer of biscuits by dunking each biscuit in the brewed coffee like earlier, and adding another layer of biscuits on top of the yoghurt mixture.
- Take the rest of your yoghurt mixture and scoop out on to the layer of biscuits ensuring about an inch thick. (Feel free to add extra yoghurt if not enough)
- Now, it's time to set the tiramisu. Grab some cling film or foil and cover your tiramisu dish and place in the fridge for a minimum of 4 hours.
- When you're ready to eat, dust the top of your tiramisu with a mixture of ground cinnamon, cacao powder and a little coffee powder.
- Enjoy!
Notes
If you struggle to find biscuits (or cookies) made without gluten, egg and/or dairy, you can try making your own.
I will include a recipe for gluten free vegan cookies at some point. Watch this space!
