* 1/4 teaspoon salt
For the Cream:
- One cup of cashews, rehydrated after soaking and subsequently drained.
- 1/8 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 cup almond milk
- 1-2 tablespoons strong brewed coffee or 1 teaspoon coffee extract
- 1/4 cup maple syrup

- 1 teaspoon lemon juice

How to Prepare a Decadent Vegan, Raw, and Gluten-Free Maple Banana Tiramisu Trifle
- Combine cashews, sea salt, almond milk, cold-brewed coffee, maple syrup, coconut oil, vanilla extract, and lemon juice in a blender, blending until the mixture is smooth and velvety.
- Combine the cacao powder, maple syrup, and vanilla extract in a small bowl, whisking until the mixture is silky smooth.
- If you have an egg white, consider transferring it to a squirt bottle for convenience, or alternatively, keep it in the bowl until you’re ready to utilize it.
- Divide each banana into three symmetrical segments. Cut each section into two equal parts, yielding a total of 18 banana segments. Arrange two slices of banana along the base of a 3 3/4 x 4 1/4-inch trifle glass or ramekin.
- Serve again in a separate glass or ramekin. Trickle rich, velvety chocolate sauce along the rim of each glass, completing a seamless border before setting aside a portion for a decorative flourish. Add a generous amount of cream to envelop the bananas thoroughly. With two additional banana sections piled atop, carefully place the whipped cream over them.
- Place the remaining 10 banana slices upright along the exterior of each glass, distributing them evenly across the five-inch perimeter of each vessel, and finally fill each glass to the brim with a generous dollop of creamy indulgence. Sift cacao powder gently over the top, finishing with a delicate drizzle of rich, velvety chocolate sauce.
- Serve immediately, or refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld before serving.
