Layered Cashew Cream Pots

Before I changed from vegetarian to vegan, one of my favorite desserts was tiramisu. I’m always making things for my kids and my husband, but this vegan tiramisu-inspired dessert was just for me. It doesn’t have coffee, alcohol, cheese or excess sugar, but it is delicious. My kids and husband loved it, too!
