Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup raw cashews, soaked for at least 4 hours or overnight
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup or agave nectar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) plant-based milk (unsweetened almond or oat milk)
  • Classic Oreo cookies (about 3 cups crushed, divided into two 1.5 cup layers)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) strong brewed coffee or espresso, cooled
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon coffee liqueur or rum extract
  • Unsweetened cocoa powder (for dusting)
  • Vegan dark chocolate shavings or curls (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Drain soaked cashews and add them to your blender with 1/4 cup (60 ml) of plant-based milk, 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Blend on high until completely smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Add more milk if needed to achieve a thick cream consistency.
  2. Brew 1 cup (240 ml) of strong coffee or espresso and let it cool to room temperature. Stir in 1 tablespoon of coffee liqueur or rum extract if using.
  3. Separate Oreo cookies and crush them roughly by hand or pulse gently in a food processor to get a mix of chunks and crumbs.
  4. Quickly dip the crushed Oreos into the cooled coffee, just enough to moisten but not soggy. Spread about 1.5 cups (150 g) of soaked Oreos evenly in the bottom of a 9×9-inch dish.
  5. Spoon half of the cashew mascarpone over the Oreo layer and spread gently with a spatula to smooth the surface.
  6. Repeat soaking and layering with another 1.5 cups (150 g) of crushed Oreos, then top with the remaining cashew mascarpone. Smooth the top carefully.
  7. Cover and refrigerate the tiramisu for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow flavors to meld and mascarpone to firm up.
  8. Just before serving, dust the top generously with unsweetened cocoa powder and sprinkle with vegan dark chocolate shavings.

Notes

Soak cashews for at least 4 hours or overnight for smooth mascarpone. Quickly dip Oreos in coffee to avoid sogginess. Chill tiramisu overnight for best texture and flavor. Use gluten-free cookies to make it gluten-free. For nut-free version, substitute cashews with soaked sunflower seeds. Dust cocoa powder through a fine sieve for even coverage. Add vegan dark chocolate shavings for extra texture and flavor.
