Substitutions + Alternatives

Can I use All-Purpose Flour?

Yes, All-Purpose Flour can be used. Use the same amount that is listed in the ingredients, but swap with all purpose.

Can I use regular dairy?

Feel free to make this recipe your own. I use dairy-free milk, but feel welcome to choose your preferred dairy option without any recipe adjustments. Unless specified otherwise, you have the flexibility to use the milk of your choice for the recipe.

Note: While almond milk is an option, it is less preferred due to its liquid consistency. Consider opting for a milk alternative with a thicker texture.

Commonly Asked Questions

Can I use regular coconut milk instead of lite?

Absolutely, go ahead and swap in regular coconut milk for an even richer flavor.

How long does it last in the fridge?

Tiramisu Tres Leches can be refrigerated for up to 3 days, but good luck keeping it around that long!
