Ingredients

For the base (4 cups)

• 15 g almond flour
• 20 g coconut flour
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon powder
• 1 teaspoon psyllium
• 2 eggs
• 80 ml coconut milk
• 2 teaspoons of freeze-dried soluble coffee from AlterNativa3
• 2 teaspoons erythritol powder

For the cream

• 30 g erythritol powder
• 100 ml coconut milk (the thicker part of the canned milk)
• 1 teaspoon agar-agar
• 100 ml soaked cashew nuts (12 h to remove the maximum of anti-nutrients and soften them)
• 100 ml vegan cream cheese
• 1 teaspoon liquid vanilla

 Step by step

1. Beat the eggs, mix with the flours, cinnamon and psyllium and microwave for 2 minutes.
2. Heat the coconut milk and add the soluble coffee and the erythritol. Stir until everything is perfectly integrated.
3. We are going to crumble the mixture that we had put in the microwave. Then, add the mixture of coffee and coconut milk and blend with a hand blender until it has a very dense puree texture.
4. We put the result as a base in our little glasses and set aside.
5. Next, we will make the tiramisu cream. The first thing we are going to do is to blend the drained cashew nuts with our blender together with the coconut milk. 
6. Once a creamy texture has been achieved, put it in a bowl, add the rest of the ingredients of the cream and mix with a whisk to achieve a perfect and homogeneous texture.
7. Then add the cream in our little glasses on top of the coffee base and leave to cool overnight if possible.
8. When we are going to eat them, and if we want to reach perfection, we sprinkle them with cocoa powder.
