Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (fan). In a mixing bowl, whip the aquafaba with cream of tartar until stiff peaks form, which should take around 5-7 minutes. Gently fold in the sunflower oil, dairy-free yogurt, coconut cream, and caster sugar. Then, sift in the baking powder, flour, and freeze-dried blackberry powder, mixing until just combined. Pipe the batter onto baking trays and bake for 15 minutes, or until the edges are golden. Allow them to cool completely.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine fresh or frozen blackberries, sugar, and lemon juice over medium heat. Stir gently as it begins to boil, then cook for about 10-15 minutes, until it thickens slightly. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature. This vibrant compote will add a fresh burst of flavor to your Vegan Blackberry Tiramisu.
  3. In a blender or food processor, combine the dairy-free butter, silken tofu, sugar, yogurt, and freeze-dried blackberry powder. Blend on high until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes. In a separate bowl, whip the dairy-free cream until soft peaks form. Carefully fold the whipped cream into your blackberry mascarpone mixture, being gentle to maintain the airy texture.
  4. Start assembling your Vegan Blackberry Tiramisu in a rectangular dish. Briefly dip each cooled ladyfinger into the blackberry compote, ensuring they soak without becoming overly soggy. Layer the dipped ladyfingers in the dish. Spread a generous layer of the mascarpone mixture on top, repeating the process until all ingredients are used up, finishing with a mascarpone layer. Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour to set.
  5. To top off your Vegan Blackberry Tiramisu, whip the remaining dairy-free cream with a sprinkle of freeze-dried blackberry powder until you achieve soft peaks. Pipe this whipped cream over the chilled tiramisu for an elegant finish. Garnish with fresh blackberries and edible flowers for a stunning presentation.
