Looking for a non-dairy mascarpone option for tiramisu? It can include meat products, as long as it’s suitable for someone who is lactose intolerant. I’m having a hard time finding a good creamy vegan mascarpone substitute. Any recommendations?

If you’re looking for a dairy-free mascarpone alternative that works well in tiramisu, here are a few options you can try:
-
Cashew Cream: Soak cashews in water for a few hours, then blend them with a little lemon juice, plant-based milk, and a pinch of salt until you get a smooth and creamy texture. This can mimic the richness of mascarpone quite nicely.
-
Coconut Cream: Use chilled coconut cream (the thick part from a can of full-fat coconut milk). Whip it until it’s fluffy and add a bit of vanilla extract and powdered sugar for sweetness.
-
Silken Tofu: Blend silken tofu with a bit of maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a dash of lemon juice. This will give you a smooth texture that can work well as a creamy substitute.
-
Almond cream cheese: Look for dairy-free cream cheese, particularly almond-based ones, which can provide a creamy texture similar to mascarpone.
-
Vegan Ricotta: You can also use store-bought vegan ricotta or make your own by blending almonds or cashews with nutritional yeast, lemon juice, and spices for flavor.
When using any of these substitutes in tiramisu, you may want to adjust the sweetness and flavor to suit your taste. Enjoy your baking!
