Ingredients
For the Cream Layer
- 8 ounces vegan mascarpone cheese
- 1 cup vegan heavy cream (chilled)
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp rosewater (adjust to taste)
For the Ladyfinger Soak
- 20–24 vegan ladyfinger biscuits (savoiardi biscuits)
- 1 cup warm oat milk
- 1 tbsp rosewater
For Garnish
- Edible rose petals
- Dried rosebuds
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
- Prepare the mascarpone: Whisk the vegan mascarpone cheese in a large bowl until it becomes smooth and free of lumps, creating a creamy base for the tiramisu.
- Whip the cream: In a separate bowl, whip the chilled vegan heavy cream together with the powdered sugar until soft peaks form, giving the mixture a light and fluffy texture.
- Combine cream and mascarpone: Gently fold the whipped cream into the smooth mascarpone mixture, being careful to maintain the airy consistency.
- Add rosewater to cream mixture: Mix in 2 tablespoons of rosewater to infuse the cream layer with its delicate floral flavor.
- Prepare the soak: In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of rosewater with the warm oat milk, blending them well for the ladyfinger soak.
- Dip the ladyfingers: Quickly dip each vegan ladyfinger biscuit into the rosewater oat milk mixture, ensuring they are moistened but not overly saturated to maintain texture.
- Assemble the first layer: Place a layer of the dipped ladyfingers in an 8×8 inch dish or individual serving glasses, arranging them evenly to form the base.
- Add the cream layer: Spread half of the rosewater mascarpone cream mixture over the ladyfingers, smoothing the surface evenly.
- Repeat layers: Add another layer of dipped ladyfingers followed by the remaining mascarpone cream, spreading and smoothing the top to finish the layers.
- Chill the tiramisu: Cover the assembled dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set.
- Garnish and serve: Remove from the fridge, lightly dust with powdered sugar, and decorate the top with edible rose petals and dried rosebuds before serving.
Notes
- Use chilled vegan heavy cream for better whipping results.
- Do not oversoak the ladyfingers to prevent a soggy texture.
- Adjust rosewater quantity according to taste preference for floral intensity.
- For a nut-free version, ensure the vegan mascarpone and cream do not contain nuts.
- Can be made a day ahead to enhance flavor development.
