Cosimo III de' Medici is said to have admired the dessert and extolled its virtues beyond Italy's borders.

The ingredients of our lactose-free tiramisu recipe

Now it's your turn to concoct your own tiramisu, with this lactose-free recipe that can be enjoyed by everyone! We've taken our inspiration from the excellent tiramisu created by Marie Chioca and Brigitte Fichaux in their book "Cuisiner sans lait", available from Terre Vivante. The quantities correspond to a tiramisu for 8 people.

For the cream

• 150 g virgin or deodorised coconut oil
• 1 tbsp liquid vanilla extract
• 150 g agave syrup
• 400 g silken tofu
• 3 eggs

For the biscuit and filling

• 300 ml coffee
• 4 tbsp agave syrup
• 1 tablespoon amaretto
• About twenty lactose-free spoon biscuits
• Cocoa powder

How do you make this delicious lactose-free tiramisu?

Start by gently melting the virgin coconut oil with the liquid vanilla extract and agave syrup. Then add the silken tofu, which you have drained very well just long enough to heat through.

Blend the mixture in a food processor. Add the three egg yolks and leave the white aside. Blend until smooth and frothy.

Whisk the three egg whites until stiff, then fold them gently into the cream. The result will be slightly runny, but the coconut oil will help it solidify in the fridge.

Put your cream aside and prepare the syrup. Mix the coffee, agave syrup and amaretto.

Dip your sponge biscuits in your syrup and place them one by one in a mould to line the base. Sprinkle with the sifted cocoa powder. Pour in a third of the cream. Repeat the operation twice with a layer of soaked biscuits, cocoa and another third of the cream.

Chill your preparation in the fridge for a dozen hours. Enjoy your tiramisu chilled and sprinkle with cocoa just before serving: all you have to do is enjoy!
