I never knew how complicated and many pieces it takes to make Tiramisu. You have the Cake, the Mascarpone, The Whipped Cream, and The Hot Cocoa. Make all that, then assemble. Whew, it took a lot, and everything was made from scratch to ensure everything was vegan. However, seeing how much the family loves it makes it worth it. Only on special holidays worth it, though.

Now that everything is made, it is time to assemble the Tiramisu in a Fridge safe container with a top.

- Pour in Half of the Cream Mix
- Add Cake
- Add the Other Half of the Cream Mix
- Sprinkle Cocoa Powder
- Cover and Let sit in Refrigerator for at least 3hrs
- Drink the rest of the Hot Cocoa
Hot Cocoa was used, but Coffee Syrup can also be used. I just used Hot Cocoa because my family tries to stay away from Coffee as much as possible. Unless it is a bad morning, unload all of the Coffee.
I like adding extra cashews after blending; it gives even more crunch. I was so amazed at the ability to make this Vegan Tiramisu.
I hope you enjoy this recipe.
