Ingredients
- FOR THE SAVIORDI:
- 2 cups plain flour
- 2tbsp cornflour

- 2tbsp vegetable oil (i used sunflower)
- 2tbsp icing sugar
-
- FOR THE TIRAMISU:
- 150ml espresso
- 2tbsp rum, brandy, or another liqueur of some sort (i used cointreau)
- 6tbsp caster sugar
- 170g vegan butter, melted
- 350g silken tofu at room temp
- 120g vegan yoghurt (i used coconut yoghurt) at room temp
- 1/2 cup + 2tbsp caster sugar
- 1tsp vanilla extract
- 1-2tbsp cocoa powder
- vegan dark chocolate
i recommend making the saviordi in advance, as these will keep in a container for at least a week and are definitely the hardest part of this recipe.
Instructions
- to make the saviordi, preheat the oven to 150°C (fan force), and line two trays w/ baking paper.
- in a medium bowl, sift together plain flour, cornflower, sea salt, and baking powder. mix & set aside.
- in a large bowl, pour aquafaba and whip using a stick blender with a whisk attachment, until stiff peaks form. stop mixing & add caster sugar, then whisk again until mixture is glossy.
- one after the other and whisking in between, pour in the vanilla extract and veg oil.
- once mixed, fold in the flour mixture until just combined, with no lumps remaining. leave to rest for 10 minutes.
- transfer the mixture to a piping bag & pipe the mixture into thick lines, around 6-8cm long, on the baking trays. the mixture will be very thick yes this step is HELL.
- before baking, dust the piped batter with the icing suagar.
- place in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes.
- remove from oven to cool, transferring biscuits to a wire rack after 5 minutes. once completely set and cooled, these are suitable to use in the tiramisu.
- to make the tiramisu, combine espresso, alcohol, and caster sugar in a wide bowl. whisk together until no sugar granules remain.
- dunk each saviordi finger in this mixture one by one, making sure to flip to ensure that both sides have absorbed liquid.
- place in a row on the bottom of a deep container, ~21x15cm (the tray i used, pictured below, was too wide). once you have a row covering the base of the dish, pause the dunking and make the cream layer.
- make the cream layer by placing the melted butter, silken tofu, vegan yoghurt, caster sugar, and vanilla extract in a blender. blend at a high speed until smooth and combined.
- pour half of the cream from the blender over the bottom row of soaked saviordi in the dish. shake gently to even out the layer.
- continue soaking and arranging the remaining saviordi in a second layer on top of the first, then pour the remaining cream over the top.
- seal the container (or cover) and place in the fridge overnight, or a minimum of 4 hours.
- once ready to serve, dust the top of the tiramisu with the cocoa powder through a sieve, then finish with a finely grated layer of the dark chocolate.
serve it forth <3
