Tiramisu means “cheer me up” in Italian. It definitely lives up to its name. However, a vegan and gluten free version without refined sugar will have you firing on all cylinders. Omitting the cake, processed sugar and cheese gives this recipe variation a health filled twist, rather than a sugar crash.
Using Black Lab Coffee for a delectable espresso flavour, we like our coffee strong and our tiramisu vegan/gluten free.
