Vegan Tiramisu Pancakes
Tiramisu-inspired pancakes dipped in espresso and layered with vanilla cream! Vegan, 8-ingredient, and so delicious!
Ingredients
Vanilla Cream
- 1/3 cup vegan pastry cream see notes
- 2 tbsp coconut yogurt or other thick vegan yogurt
Pancakes
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour use 1:1 gluten-free mix for a gluten-free version
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp unsweetened cacao powder for topping
Espresso Dip
- 3 tbsp brewed strong espresso cold
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tbsp khalua optional
Instructions
Vanilla Cream
- In a small bowl, combine the vegan pastry cream and the coconut yogurt until smooth. Set aside.
Pancakes
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Pour in the almond milk and vanilla extract and whisk until the batter is smooth.
- Heat a teaspoon of oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Use a kitchen paper towel to rub the skillet and spread the oil into a thin and even layer.
- Spoon about 3 tablespoons of the batter onto the skillet and spread it into a round. You should be able to fit 2-3 pancakes at a time in the skillet.
- Cook for 1-2 minutes or until the edges appear cooked. Using a thin spatula, flip the pancakes and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side. Transfer the pancakes to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter.
To Assemble
- On a small and deep plate, stir together the brewed espresso, sugar, and khalua if using. Dip one of the pancakes into the espresso for 1-2 seconds on each side.
- Arrange the pancake on a plate. Spread about 1 tablespoon of the vanilla cream on top. Repeat these steps 3 times or until you have used up all of the pancakes (I had 4 pancakes).
- Finish with a layer of vanilla cream. Use a fine sieve to sprinkle the pancakes with unsweetened cacao powder. Serve immediately!
Notes
- If you don't have time to make the pastry cream: simply replace it with 1/3 cup of thick coconut yogurt or vegan Greek yogurt. Mix it with 1-2 teaspoons of maple syrup or agave syrup and 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract.
