This is not only a recipe for a fantastic tasting and sugar-free strawberry Tiramisu, it is a quick and easy one. Strawberries and an Italian classic are perfect to start your summer.
An absolute favorite
Just the name Tiramisu makes me think of Italy, balmy nights, happy holidays and “dolce-far-niente”. This classic dessert is at the top of many people’s lists. I really like this recipe that allows you to prepare a strawberry Tiramisu quickly and easily. It tastes great in the afternoon in the garden or on the balcony and is a crowning dessert. It gets even better: this vegan and sugar-free spring version is much easier to prepare than the classic original.
Of course, I do not claim that my strawberry Tiramisu, which, by the way, also tastes excellent with sweet peaches, apricots or cherries, is an authentic Tiramisu. It already fails because of the mascarpone cream, the egg yolk and the household sugar. It is rather a vegan delicacy in Tiramisu style, which just sounds much tastier than a “layered dessert”.
The joy of indulgence
The joy of vegan food and the pleasure of tasting diverse dishes is not only important to me but also pure enjoyment. With great enthusiasm, I try out new ideas and recipes for you that use seasonal products and that put a smile on your face when you eat. I get my inspiration from many different sources, from fresh produce at the market, to browsing through books, to conversations with friends. Or from a beautiful vacation memory of Italy, combined with fresh strawberries just bought at the market.
Talking about strawberries: here is another, equally nice tasting dessert, my Vegan Strawberry and Rhubarb Dessert – sugar free.
I hope you enjoy this Tiramisu with strawberries as much as I do. I look forward to hearing from you!
My Don’t Waste Tip: Use the rest of the coconut milk for a tasty curry or a smoothy.
Strawberry Tiramisu – quick, easy, vegan and refined sugar free
Ingredients
For the cocoa cookie layer
- 100 g vegan spelt cookies (sugar free cookies or alternatively zwieback/rusk)
- 60 ml lupine coffee or your favorite coffee or your favorite coffee
- 2 tsp cocoa powder
- 1/2 – 1 tsp rum optional
For the vegan mascarpone
- 400 ml coconut milk put into fridge overnight
- 120 g natural vegan yogurt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp coconut blossom sugar
Additionally
- 2 small glass jars (I use the beautiful mason jars from Weck)
- 20 g vegan spelt cookies
- 150 g fresh strawberries
- 1/2 tsp cocoa powder
- 2 small peppermint leaves
Instructions
- Put the coconut milk overnight into your fridge to cool for a minimum of 6 hours; the coconut cream will be on top, the coconut water on the bottom.
- Prepare a strong, intense coffee and let it cool.
- Take 200 g of the coconut cream and mix with the other ingredients for the vegan mascarpone to a homogeneous mass. Put it into the fridge.
- For the cocoa cookie layer, break the cookies into small pieces and put them into a bowl. Dust them with the cocoa powder, add the coffee and – if you like – the rum. Mix everything well and let it sit until all is well saturated.
- Wash the strawberries, cut 4 smaller ones in slices and the rest in small cubes (about 4 mm).
- Now you start with your layers: break the 40g spelt cookies and distribute them between your 4 glasses. Carefully placet he strawberry slices on the inner wall of your glasses. Now carefully fill about 4/5 of the vegan mascarpone into the middle of your glasses. Make sure the strawberry slices remain at the glass wall and are visible from the outside. Mix the cocoa cookie mixture again and fill into the glasses. Now add the strawberry pieces. Cover all with the remaining vegan mascarpone cream and put it into the fridge for at least 1 hour for perfect outcome.
- Dust a bit of cocoa powder over the Tiramisu before serving and add some peppermint leaves.
Notes
Yes, you can – use your favorite cookie, one with nuts or also zwieback/rusk for a different taste experience.
Tiramisu works great with oranges – perfect for indulgence in the winter months!
