I first experienced "Vegan Tiramisu" at our Co-op here in Pittsburgh. I actually think it tastes better than traditional tiramisu. It is a cool and delicious dessert perfect for summer. Plus without the animal products it is healthier for you and friendly to animals too!  ( Making it is a little involved but totally do-able and very well worth it! )     Ingredients Sponge Cake • WHOLE WHEAT PASTRY FLOUR, 2 cups • NATURAL CANE SUGAR, 1 cup • BAKING SODA, 3 teaspoons • ENER-G OR OTHER EGG REPLACER (corn or potato starch or tapioca flour should substitute ok), 1 teaspoon • VANILLA EXTRACT, 1 teaspoon • VEGETABLE OIL, 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons • WATER, 1-1/3 cups "Mascarpone" Layer • SOY CREAM CHEESE, 8 ounces • SOY SOUR CREAM, 1/2 cup • SOY COFFEE CREAMER, 3/4 cup • AMARETTO(or other coffee liquor), 1/4 cup • NATURAL CANE SUGAR, 1/3 cup • VANILLA EXTRACT, 1 tablespoon • VEGETABLE OIL, 1/4 cup Coffee/Liquor Dip • ESPRESSO, 1 cup • AMARETTO (or other coffee liquor), 3 tablespoons • NATURAL CANE SUGAR, 3 tablespoons • BITTERSWEET CHOCOLATE, 5 ounces Directions 1. First make the sponge cake. Set oven to 375 F. 2. Sift flour, sugar, baking soda, and egg replacer together in glass 9-inch round or 8x8-inch cake pan. 3. Add vanilla, oil and water to the dry ingredients. Mix until lumps are mostly gone then bake for 45 minutes. 4. As sponge cake is cooking, prepare "mascarpone" layer. 5. Blend together all ingredients until well-mixed and somewhat aerated and store in fridge. 6. This is good time to grate the chocolate as well. I use Scharffen Berger bittersweet 70% cacao. Store grated chocolate in the fridge as well. 7. To make the coffee/liquor dip, make 1 cup of espresso or strong coffee. 8. Add the amaretto and sugar and stir while the espresso is still hot. 9. Store this also in the fridge to cool down the coffee. Added benefit: the cook gets to drink any excess espresso. 10. When the cake is done cooking, let it cool. 11. When cool (and not any sooner), remove from the pan and cut into 1-inch x 1-inch x 3-inch strips. 12. Lay the strips on a cookie sheet and bake 10-15 minutes at 400 F. 13. Then, after the cake strips are cooled, assemble as you would any Tiramisu. 14. Dip the cake strips in the coffee/liquor dip and lay in a bread pan. 15. Pour some "mascarpone" layer over the top, sprinkle liberally with grated chocolate, and repeat. 16. Garnish with cocoa powder if you like. Let sit overnight and then yum!
