- 180ml of aquafaba (chickpea brine)
- 12g of cream of tartar
- 180g of caster sugar
- 60ml of sunflower oil
- 20g of dairy-free plain or vanilla yogurt
- 40g of coconut cream
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
- 2 teaspoons of baking powder
- 300g of all-purpose flour
- 170g of dairy-free butter
- 350g of silken tofu
- 160g of caster sugar (for the mascarpone)
- 100g of plain or vanilla yogurt (for the mascarpone)
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste (for the mascarpone)
- 220ml of dairy-free whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons of ube condensed milk (or 3 tablespoons of powdered ube)
- 100ml of evaporated oat milk or dairy-free milk
- 2 tablespoons of ube condensed milk (or 2 tablespoons of powdered ube)
- Powdered ube (for sprinkling)
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 180°C fan, and line 2 baking trays with greaseproof paper.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk the aquafaba and cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Gradually add in 150g of caster sugar until stiff peaks form. This step is crucial for that light-and-fluffy texture!
- In another bowl, combine sunflower oil, yogurt, coconut cream, vanilla, and the remaining sugar. Gently fold the aquafaba mixture into this concoction.
- Sift in the baking powder and flour, folding until the mixture is smooth. Pipe lines onto the trays and bake for 15 minutes until golden. Allow them to cool—they’re going to serve as your ladyfingers.
- For the mascarpone, blend dairy-free butter, silken tofu, sugar, yogurt, vanilla, and ube condensed milk until smooth and creamy. Whip the dairy-free cream until thick, then fold it into the ube mixture.
- For assembly, mix oat milk and ube condensed milk. Dip the ladyfingers briefly into this mixture, layering them in a dish, alternating with the mascarpone mixture. Repeat until all ingredients are exhausted, creating a beautiful masterpiece.
- Chill in the fridge for at least an hour. Once time is up, top with whipped cream and sprinkle generously with powdered ube for that extra wow factor.
- Refrigerate for 6-8 hours or overnight before serving to let those flavors amalgamate into sheer bliss.
