Vegan Matcha & Strawberry Tiramisu with Granola

Want to revisit an Italian classic while keeping it light, wholesome, and vegan? This matcha strawberry tiramisu with granola is perfect if you love desserts that feel fresh but still indulgent. With a creamy organic ceremonial matcha layer, fresh strawberries, and quick homemade granola, you get a balanced dessert—no mascarpone, no eggs.

This vegan tiramisu (created by Alicia from Healthy Food Colorful) is quick to prep, and the granola can even be made in the microwave. Ideal for a fast dessert that still tastes special.

Prep time:

15 minutes prep, 3 hours resting in the fridge

Ingredients (serves 4):

For the cream:

• 200 g silken tofu
• 200 g soy yoghurt (vanilla or plain)
• 2 tsp organic ceremonial matcha (about 4 g)
• 40 g maple syrup (adjust to taste)

For the quick granola:

• 50 g rolled oats
• 10 g almond flour
• 40 g applesauce
• 1/2 tsp vanilla flavouring
• 5 g olive oil (or any neutral oil)

To assemble:

• Prepared matcha cream
• Prepared quick granola
• A generous handful of fresh strawberries
• Extra ceremonial matcha to dust

Method:

For the cream:

1. Blend the cream: In a blender, mix the silken tofu, soy yoghurt, organic ceremonial matcha, and maple syrup until perfectly smooth. Chill while you make the granola.

For the quick granola:

1. Mix: Combine the dry ingredients (oats + almond flour), then add the applesauce, vanilla, and oil.
2. Press: Pack the mixture firmly into a small dish (around 13 cm wide) to form a compact “cake”.
3. Microwave: Microwave on high for 3 minutes, checking regularly. Let cool for a few minutes, then break into chunks.

To assemble:

1. Layer: Add a layer of granola at the bottom of ramekins (or one larger dish).
2. Add the cream: Spoon a generous layer of matcha cream over the granola.
3. Add strawberries: Add sliced strawberries, then top with another layer of cream.
4. Chill: Refrigerate for at least 3 hours so flavours meld and the texture firms up.
5. Finish: Right before serving, dust with a little organic ceremonial matcha for colour and that signature bittersweet note.

Tip:

Make it seasonal by swapping strawberries for raspberries or blueberries. For extra indulgence, add dark chocolate shavings between the cream layers.

Nutritional notes:

This dessert is vegan, free from refined sugar, and naturally higher in protein thanks to silken tofu and soy yoghurt. Matcha adds antioxidant power, while the granola brings fibre for gentle digestion.
