- For a citrus hint, add a teaspoon of lemon zest to the mascarpone mixture.
- Use chilled equipment and vegan heavy cream for better whipping results.
- If savoiardi biscuits are unavailable, substitute with thin vegan sponge cake slices for a similar texture.
Storage
Store the tiramisu covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To maintain freshness, avoid storing it at room temperature.

FAQs
Can I use other plant-based milks instead of oat milk?
Yes, you can use other warm plant-based milks like almond or soy milk. Oat milk is preferred for its mild flavor and creaminess, but alternatives work well too.
Is it possible to make this tiramisu nut-free?
Absolutely. This recipe is naturally nut-free if your vegan mascarpone and ladyfinger biscuits do not contain nuts. Always check ingredient labels to be sure.
