    Tiramisu Parfaits

    Published: Sep 21, 2011 · Updated: Mar 4, 2021 · This post may contain affiliate links.

    Now you can enjoy tiramisu without the fuss.  These parfaits have all the luscious creamy coffee and chocolate flavor of tiramisu in a fraction of the time.  If you don’t have parfait glasses, martini glasses are a good choice, but any small dessert dishes will suffice. This recipe is reprinted by permission from Quick-Fix Vegan: Healthy, Homestyle Meals in 30 Minutes or Less* by Robin Robertson © 2011. 

    Serves 4

    • ½ cup hot black coffee
    • ⅓ cup sugar
    • 1 (8-ounce) container tofu cream cheese
    • ⅓ cup cashew butter
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 8 to 12 vegan shortbread cookies
    • ¼ cup Kahlua or other coffee liqueur
    • Cocoa powder, for dusting

    Combine the coffee and sugar in a small bowl, stirring to dissolve the sugar.  Set aside to cool.

    In a blender or food processor, combine the cream cheese, cashew butter, vanilla, and the reserved coffee mixture.  Blend until smooth and creamy.

    Break a cookie into the bottom of each of 4 parfait glasses or other dessert glasses.  Drizzle each with 1 teaspoon of Kahlua and top with a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture.  Repeat with the layering of the cookies, Kahlua, and cream cheese mixture, until the glasses are full, ending with a layer of the cream cheese mixture, dusted with cocoa powder.  Serve at once or refrigerate and serve chilled.

    Note: This dessert tastes best (and firms up a bit) if allowed to chill in the refrigerator for an hour or two, but is also perfectly yummy if eaten right away.
