Preparation method
Layer 1:
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees.
- Grab a baking tray and line with parchment paper.
- Grab 2 bowls. Split the eggs and put the whites in one bowl and the yolks in the other.
- First get started with the egg whites. Beat these until stiff and put them in the fridge.
- Next we move on to the bowl with the egg yolk. Add the spelt flour, agave syrup, salt and baking powder and whisk or mix until blended. I use a hand mixer myself.
- Take the egg whites out from the refrigerator, add them as last and mix the egg whites into the batter. The mixture can be a bit sticky!
- Divide this mixture over the baking tray and try to maintain a thickness of 1 to 2 cm. It does not matter in what form you do this, because we are going to cut “lady fingers” out of it later.
- Place in the oven for 15 minutes and bake until golden brown. Then let it cool down on a rack.
Layer 2:
- Start by melting the coconut oil. Note: it only needs to be melted, not hot.
- Now put the cashew nuts, agave syrup, vanilla extract and salt in a bowl and mix until well combined. I chop the cashew nuts myself with a hand mixer. It takes a while, but it turns into a nice cream by itself.
- Once mixed properly, put the mixture in the fridge for a while.
And now we are going to stack the tiramisu!
- Cut the cake from layer 1 into small slices, the same size as the well-known “lady fingers”.
- Now brew 1 cup of espresso and put this in an oblong container.
- Use a baking dish or plate to build the tiramisu and start with the first layer: dip the lady fingers in the espresso and place them side by side in the baking dish.
- Continue with layer 2 and take the bowl with the homemade cream mixture from the refrigerator. Spread half over the first layer and finish with the third layer: raw cocoa powder.
- Now we are going to stack one more time! Continue to stack 1 more layer of lady fingers, cream and finally the raw cocoa powder.
- Put the tiramisu in the fridge for 3 hours to stiffen completely and then you can enjoy an Italian dessert!
Love, Carolina
