Author Notes
I love the flavor of tiramisu! But I also love dairy free desserts. A great way to combine the flavors of tiramisu with a dairy free dessert is to make vegan chocolate which is so versatile and can be infused with any flavor desired. In place of dairy cream I have replaced it with coconut cream and instead of refined cane sugar I have used Maple sugar. By using high quality ingredients you can create delicious chocolates that battle the greatest chocolate boutique. —sabrina

Once cooled, remove from refrigerator, place 1 teaspoon of cacao powder on a plate and spread with your fingers.

Gather the chocolate in your hands and mold into a rectangular shape with about an inch of thickness.

Place on the plate, even out the depth and straighten the sides.

Cut rectangular blocks with a knife, shape accordingly, and then coat each piece with cacao powder and then top with some ground espresso. Enjoy!
