INGREDIENT NOTES:
VEGAN WHIPPING CREAM:
It makes the rich and creamy filling in the dessert. This whipping cream becomes thick when we beat it. You may use full-fat coconut cream as per your preference.
POWDERED SUGAR:
This sugar makes the cream sweet and dissolves quickly as well. It keeps the filling smooth and gives better results. You may use powdered coconut sugar as another choice.
INSTANT COFFEE GRANULES:
It dissolves easily and gives the main coffee taste in the cake. You may use instant espresso powder as a substitute.
VEGAN DIGESTIVE BISCUITS:
They make the layers of the cake and give them a better look. These cookies become soft and cake-like when we chill them in the cream. You may use vegan graham crackers as another idea.
UNSWEETENED VEGAN MILK:
It makes the cookies soft before making cake layers. You may use unsweetened almond milk as an alternative.
VEGAN CHOCOLATE SHAVINGS:
They make the dessert look attractive and add a little chocolate taste. You may use a light dusting of cocoa powder as per your choice.
