Chloe Wheatland’s “cheat’s tiramisu” is a modern twist on the classic Italian dessert, offering a more nutritious and higher protein version perfect for vegans. The recipe, found in her cookbook Chloe’s Vegan Kitchen, features a fluffy oat and almond meal cake soaked in strong black coffee and layered with a creamy cashew-based topping enriched with vanilla protein powder. The dessert is finished with a dusting of cacao powder for an indulgent yet light treat that is quick to prepare and ideal for health-conscious sweet lovers.

To make the cheat’s tiramisu, begin by baking the cake, soaking cashews for the cream, and assembling the dessert by layering cake pieces soaked in coffee with the creamy mixture. Chill the tiramisu for at least three hours before serving, dusting with cacao powder for a balanced treat that combines indulgence and nutrition. This vegan dessert is not traditional, but it certainly does not lack in taste, making it a popular option for plant-based eaters looking for a different kind of tiramisu that satisfies the sweet cravings.
