How to Prepare Gingerbread Tiramisu [Vegan, Gluten-Free, Raw]

First, pour boiling water into a mug, add the tea bags or leaves through a strainer, and set aside to steep.
Blend all the gingerbread sponge ingredients in a high-speed blender until a fine crumb. Set aside in a bowl.
Press 2 tablespoons of the gingerbread crumb into the base of three large ramekins or six small ones to form the base.
Pour 2 teaspoons of the chai soaking syrup over each gingerbread base.
Pour about 1/8 cup of the cashew cream on top of each base and place in the freezer for about 10 minutes for the cream to set.
Repeat the steps until the mixtures have been used up. Try not to press the gingerbread biscuit between each layer. Instead, sprinkle and press lightly.
Return to the fridge/freezer to set again and put your coconut whipped cream into a piping bag.
Once the layer has set slightly, carefully pipe small peaks onto the top of each tiramisu and dust with a sprinkle of cacao.
Return to the refrigerator and let set for at least an hour before eating.
