The classic recipe uses dairy milk and often includes eggs and gelatin, which makes it unsuitable for vegans and people with dietary restrictions. This vegan version uses soy milk and cornstarch as a thickening agent, and is flavored with coffee and vanilla extract. The result is a luxurious and creamy dessert that is easy to make and perfect for any occasion. Whether you are a vegan or not, you will love this delicious dessert!
