No.
The one in Bryanna Grogen Clark's book is dreadful.

Lol what is dreadful about it?
I can't think how one would do a good job of veganising a tiramisu to fool an omni since it's got quite a heavy reliance on whipped cream if I remember correctly. While I like some of the vegan subs, they're not exactly indistinguishable.
Does it have to be tiramisu or could you make something slightly different? How about a trifle? That's similar in that it has cake and booze, but fruit makes it better and you can jazz it up with almonds and stuff...

The whipped cream is not hard to make yummy, with coconut milk/cream. The mascarpone is the tough part, imo. I've been trying to find a good sub for it in vegan cannoli (drool.....cannoli) for years.
I'm not 100% sure what is in it anymore, but the folks at Wessex Tales make a fantastic vegan tiramisu. My other half and I had it there when on a weekend away. We liked it so much that we requested it for our "night before our wedding" dinner with our friends and family. It was a big hit!
If you give them a call, I'd be the owner will give you the recipe. (I don't think they're so prompt with email )http://members.lycos.co.uk/wessextales/
I was thinking the marscapone would probably be the hard bit as well. However in Tibits restaurant (off Regents St) they do a chocolate cream thingie as a vegan dessert and that has a consistency that is possibly rather similar to marscapone. It's coconut-based I think. Again if one asked nicely they might divulge the recipe.
Possibly if you were heavy-handed enough with the booze people wouldn't notice the difference anyway...there are a few vegan tiramisu recipes on the web if you Google, some with feedback.

It's funny, I've noticed that these vegan adaptations of non-vegan dishes sometimes go all out to simulate the appearance of the original without worrying so much what it tastes like. I suppose the visual aspect of eating is important to a lot of people but even so... <goes off to make some eclairs out of plywood>
Hm. That's not been my experience at all. The taste is what it's about.
It certainly should be IMO!
