Ingredients

Sponge/ladyfingers

If you don’t want to make your own, it’s also possible to use 400g (approx.) Lotus Biscoff biscuits, vegan shortbread or baked French toast biscuits

Wet ingredients 

  • 200ml unsweetened soya or almond milk
  • 75ml neutral oil (eg rapeseed)
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract or paste
  • 2 tsp cider vinegar

Dry ingredients 

  • 200g self-raising flour
  • 140g golden caster sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt

Espresso syrup

  • 300ml strong coffee (6 tsp instant coffee in 300ml boiling water. Use decaffeinated if preferred)
  • 1 tbsp vegan Amaretto, coffee liqueur, rum or brandy (add 2 more tablespoons if you’d prefer it extra boozy. If you’d prefer to go alcohol-free then leave out this ingredient)
  • 2 tbsp caster sugar

Cream layer

  • 315ml vegan double/whippable cream
  • 500g vegan cream cheese
  • 190g icing sugar, sieved
  • 1¼ tsp vanilla extract or
    paste
  • 2½ tsp vegan Amaretto,
    coffee liqueur, rum or
    brandy (optional)
  • 2½ tbsp odourless/culinary coconut oil, melted (optional but recommended – use this if you’d like the cream to be a bit firmer. You can use regular coconut oil but we recommend using odourless to avoid the coconutty flavour)

Topping

  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder or raw cacao powder
  • 50g dark vegan chocolate, shaved (optional – we like 70% cocoa solids)

Instructions

Sponge/Ladyfingers

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas Mark 4.
  2. Line a 20-25cm x 30-35cm (approx.) deep baking tin.

Wet ingredients

  1. In a large jug, stir together all the wet ingredients and then leave for a few minutes.

Dry ingredients 

  1. In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly combine all the dry ingredients.
  2. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until combined (but don’t overstir).
  3. Evenly distribute the cake mixture into the baking tin and place in the oven for 25 minutes.
  4. Remove from the oven and leave to cool.
  5. Cut the sponge into 16 even slices. Turn the slices on their side in the tin and place the tin back in the oven for 10 minutes (this is to help dry out the ladyfingers so they absorb more liquid).
  6. Remove from the oven and leave to cool fully.

Espresso syrup 

  1. Using a medium-sized jug, combine all ingredients while the coffee is boiling hot then leave to cool completely.

Cream layer

  1. Using an electric hand whisk or stand mixer, whisk the vegan cream until stiff peaks form.
  2. In a large mixing bowl and using an electric hand whisk or balloon whisk, thoroughly combine the vegan cream cheese, icing sugar, vanilla extract, alcohol and melted coconut oil. Gently fold through the whipped vegan double cream (don’t overstir).
  3. Place in the fridge until needed.

Did you know that the Vegan Recipe Club is run by Viva!, and that we are a charity?

We create vital resources to help educate everyone – vegan veterans, novices and the v-curious alike – about vegan food, health and nutrition; as well as the plight of farmed animals and the devastating environmental impact of farming.

Through this work we have helped thousands of people discover veganism; but we want to reach millions more! We rely entirely on donations as we don’t get any government funding. If you already support us, thank you from the bottom of our hearts, you are really making a difference! Please share our details with your friends and loved ones too, as every donation enables us to keep fighting for change.
