Servings:

1 can of coconut cream (14 ounces) (Savoy is great), refrigerated at least over night or frozen 2 hours
16 ounces mascarpone cheese
1/3 cup coconut sugar or brown sugar
1 cup coffee
1/2 cup kahlua
1 teaspoon cinnamon divided
1 (7 oz / 200 g) package of lady fingers
1 Tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder divided
optional: berries and mint leaves on top

In a large bowl, beat the coconut cream until it forms a whipped cream texture. You can also do this in a food processor.
In a separate bowl, mix the coconut sugar into the mascarpone cheese. Then, fold the mascarpone cheese into the whipped coconut cream. Make sure to gently fold the mascarpone into the coconut cream, don't mix it or you won't get the right texture.
In a medium bowl, mix the coffee, kahlua, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon together. Dunk half of the lady fingers into the coffee mixture, making sure the liquid soaks through. I like to hold each lady finger into the coffee/kahlua mixture and count to 2.
Put the soaked lady fingers on the bottom of a glass 8x8 inch baking dish. Top the lady fingers with half of the coconut cream mascarpone mixture. Add 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon and 1/2 Tablespoon cocoa powder on top of the cream mixture. Soak the other half of the lady fingers in the coffee mixture, and put on top of the cream layer in the dish. Top with the remaining cream mixture and smooth it out. Top with 1/2 Tablespoon cocoa powder, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, and berries + mint leaves.
Cover and refrigerate for 6 hours or overnight.

When dunking the lady fingers into the coffee mixture, count to 2 or 3 so they get soaked but not too soaked.

When sprinkling the cocoa powder and cinnamon on top of each cream layer, use a small strainer. This ensures there are no clumps.

Refrigerate the tiramisu overnight if you can. The flavor is best the longer the flavors melt together.

Adding the berries and mint really makes this tiramisu dessert that much better.
