Vegan Tiramisu Mousse
Vegan Tiramisu Mousse ☕
This Vegan Tiramisu Mousse is tiramisu in a glass — coffee-soaked cake, a thick mascarpone-style cream, and cocoa on top. No eggs. No dairy. It tastes like the classic, just layered into cups so you don’t have to slice a pan.
I love making these the night before. The coffee layer needs time to settle into the cream. Don’t soak the cake until it falls apart — a quick dip is enough. 💚

The Secret to Cream That Holds
Use cold coconut cream and a thick vegan cream cheese or blended cashews. Whip until it looks like frosting. If it’s runny, chill 20 minutes and whip again. Layer cream, coffee cake, cream, coffee cake, then a final swirl of cream.
Frequently Asked Questions ❓
What cake should I use? 🍰
Vegan ladyfingers, vanilla sponge, or even firm pound cake. Store-bought vegan cookies work in a pinch.
Can I skip the alcohol? ☕
Yes. Just coffee is enough. A splash of rum or coffee liqueur is optional.
How long do the cups keep? 🧊
3 days in the fridge. Add the cocoa right before serving.

Notes & Tips 💡
- A pinch of cocoa mixed into one layer of mousse makes the stripes look extra defined.
- If the cream is too thick to pipe, loosen it with a spoon of plant milk.
- These look best in clear glasses so you can see the layers.
- Decaf coffee works if you’re serving them at night.
