Method
 

Marscapone-ish layer
  1. Blend thoroughly
Chocolate Pudding Layer
  1. Blend thoroughly
Optional Ladyfinger/Cookie Layer
  1. Whisk dry ingredients together. 
  2. Whisk aquafaba for 3-5 minutes until creamy. Add vanilla. Continue whipping until slightly thickened.
  3. Pour wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until just mixed. (Don’t overstir).
  4. Add milk only if mixture is too dry.
  5. Line baking dish with parchment paper. Pipe or spoon cookies into a thin, rectangular shape.
  6. Bake in 345 degrees 13-15 minutes. Turn off stove and leave in for an additional 10 minutes
  7. Transfer cookies to a cooling rack and let sit out overnight to dry out.
Build the Tiramisu:
  1. Dust dish with cocoa powder
  2. Dip lady fingers in coffee for 1-2 seconds, then layer in dish
  3. Add marscapone (cashew) layer on top of lady fingers
  4. Dust with cocoa powder
  5. Layer with lady fingers (dipped in coffee)
  6. Layer with chocolate pudding
  7. Layer with marscapone
  8. Dust with cocoa powder and chocolate shavings
  9. Cover in refrigerator at least 4 hours but overnight is better to ensure the flavors all meld.

Notes

If you use sweet potato instead of avocado, boil 5 medium sweet potatos until you can slice through them with a knife easily, and let cool. The calorie count roughly stays the same but the fat count goes way down. 
NOTE: The lady fingers will be super crispy and that's what you want. When you dip them in the coffee or espresso, just do it for a second or two. It is more for flavor. It's not for softening. That will happen when the tiramisu sits.
