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!
