Recipe
Ingredients
- ¾ cup espresso
- 500g Brancourts Classic Cottage Cheese
- 120mL unsweetened plant milk
- 3 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla bean extract
- 36 ladyfingers
- 2 tbsp cacao powder
Method
- Brew coffee and pour it into a shallow bowl. Place the bowl in the fridge to chill while you get started on the tiramisu.
- Place cottage cheese, plant milk, maple syrup and vanilla bean extract in a high-speed blender. Blend until smooth and creamy and set aside to thicken.
- Using a baking dish or loaf pan, prep the ladyfingers by first measuring each biscuit to the dish. If necessary, cut 1 cm from each end of the biscuit so each ladyfinger fits perfectly to the shape.
- Remove espresso from the fridge and dip each ladyfinger in the cold coffee — make sure to coat both sides. Using a fork, carefully transfer each ladyfinger to the dish. Make 3 rows of 6 ladyfingers, so 18 ladyfingers for the first layer.
- Pour half of the cottage cheese mixture over the first layer and spread evenly using a spoon. Begin the process one more time, layering with another 18 ladyfingers and the remaining cottage cheese mixture.
- Cover with foil and store in the fridge to set for at least 4 hrs, or overnight. Just before serving, sift cacao powder over the tiramisu. Cut into 6 slices and serve cold.
