Description

This roasted strawberry tiramisu is layered with the easiest homemade eggless ladyfingers soaked in a dairy free strawberry milk, roasted strawberries, dairy free mascarpone cream, and fresh dairy free whipped cream! This twist on the classic Italian dessert is the best way to use up ripe strawberries!


Ingredients

Scale

Eggless Ladyfingers:

  • 1 cups (125 grams) all purpose flour or sifted gluten-free 1-to-1 baking flour (if doing gluten-free, add in 1 tsp arrowroot powder)
  • 1 tbsp (10 g) cornstarch or arrowroot starch
  • 1/2 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 cup (60 mL) aquafaba/chickpea brine
  • 1/3 cup (75 g) granulated sugar, divided
  • 1/2 tsp cream of tartar
  • 2 tbsp dairy free yogurt or unsweetened applesauce, room temperature
  • 1 tbsp melted vegan butter or avocado oil, room temperature
  • 1/2 tbsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/8 tsp almond extract

Strawberry milk:

  • 1 cup (240 mL) dairy free milk, such as oat milk, soy milk, or almond milk
  • 1 ounce bag freeze dried strawberries, divided
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup

Vegan Mascarpone Cream:

Roasted strawberries:

  • 1 pint fresh strawberries, washed and sliced
  • 3 tbsp lemon juice (about 1 lemon)
  • 3 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Vegan whipped cream:

  • 1/2 cup (120 mL) vegan heavy cream, cold
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar

Instructions

  1. Tip: I recommend making the ladyfingers and the mascarpone the day before you want to assemble the tiramisu. Everything can be made on one day, but ladyfingers are best when they’re a day old, so it will make for a more flavorful strawberry tiramisu!*
  2. Prep: Make the ladyfingers according to instructions,  as well as the vegan mascarpone. For the ladyfingers, I piped them into round cookies, about 1″ in size. You should yield 16-20 biscuits.Once the mascarpone has cooled, you can begin to assemble your tiramisu.
  3. Roast the strawberries: Preheat the oven to 375F, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a bowl, toss the sliced strawberries with the lemon juice, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Spoon the strawberries onto the baking sheet, and roast the strawberries in the oven for 15 minutes. Once roasted, remove from the oven, and allow the strawberries to cool for 5 minutes. Then transfer back to the bowl, and set aside.
  4. Make the strawberry milk: Blitz the freeze dried strawberries in a food processor or blender until they resemble a fine powder. Remove about 1/3 cup of the strawberry powder to reserve for the topping of our tiramisu. Cover the powder, and set aside. Then return to the food processor- add in the milk to the food processor, along with the maple syrup, and blend for 30 seconds until combined. Pour the strawberry milk into a bowl that you will use to dip the ladyfingers in.
  5. Make the mascarpone cream: In a medium bowl, use a hand mixer to cream together the vegan butter and mascarpone until creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Then add in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and mix again just until combined and there are no more clumps of powdered sugar.
  6. Assemble the tiramisu cups: Grab 3-4 small cups to assemble your strawberry tiramisu cups. Take one ladyfinger cookie and soak it in the strawberry milk. Place the cookie into the bottom of one cup, and repeat with a second cookie. Then scoop about 1/4 cup of roasted strawberries with the juices on top, followed by 1/4 cup to 1/3 cup of mascarpone cream. Repeat with another layer of cookies, strawberries, and mascarpone cream. Then repeat the whole process for the remaining tiramisu cups.
  7. Chill: Cover the cups with a piece of plastic wrap, and place into the fridge to chill for 1-2 hours.
  8. When ready to serve: Make the vegan whipped cream. In a large bowl with a hand mixer or in a stand mixer with whisk attachment, begin mixing the heavy cream on high speed until stiff peaks start to form, about 1-2 minutes. Then while mixing, add in the 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar.
  9. Top and enjoy! Spoon the whipped cream on top, and dust with the reserved strawberry powder. Serve immediately cold and enjoy!
