Time 5h15m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups shredded unsweetened coconut
3 tablespoons cacao powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pinch pink Himalayan salt
1 cup pitted fresh dates
1 (14 ounce) can unsweetened coconut milk
1 cup cacao butter
¾ cup cacao powder
½ cup agave nectar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pinch pink Himalayan salt
3 tablespoons peanut butter

Steps:

  • Combine coconut, cacao powder, vanilla extract, and salt in a blender for the crust; pulse briefly to mix. Add dates and process until dates are finely chopped and the mixture starts to clump. Gently press crust mixture into a 9-inch pie plates and place in the refrigerator to firm while you prepare the filling.
  • Combine coconut milk, cacao butter, cacao powder, agave, vanilla extract, and salt in a high-speed blender; blend on low speed until combined; mixture will still be white and chunky. Continue blending on high speed until mixture is slightly hot to the touch, about 3 minutes; mixture will be about 110 degrees F (45 degrees C).
  • Pour filling into the firm crust and return, uncovered, to the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Dollop small bits of peanut butter on top of the filling and drag a knife through to make peanut butter swirls. Refrigerate until set, 4 1/2 hours to overnight. Slice and serve.

VEGAN CHOCOLATE CHILLI PEPPER MOUSSE



Vegan Chocolate Chilli Pepper Mousse image

This vegan chocolate mousse is a beacon of hope for even the most self respecting 1000 calorie mousse devotee. Everything comes to the party to create the perfect blend of sweet and spicy. The tofu gives you some protein, and that lovely creamy texture that gets better when set. The cocoa adds that vital decadence that is a prerequisite in any great chocolate mousse, and the nut butter and vanilla give it an added dimension that stops it from being flat. Just a touch of agave to sweeten the deal, and some chilli for a final kick. I am not really a peanut butter fan for many reasons and do not use it very often. But I can't deny the flavor it brings to this. I prefer to use raw almond butter as a healthier option. Hazelnut butter works well too. It is all a matter or personal preference. You can also make this mousse without the chili. It still tastes wonderful, but I find that the heat lifts the heaviness of the cocoa and just gives the whole taste sensation an extra burst.

Categories     Dessert

Time 5m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

12 ounces of organic firm silken tofu (1 packet/300gm)
1/3 cup green and black's organic fairtrade cocoa
1/3-1/2 cup agave nectar, depending on your taste
2 teaspoons natural vanilla extract
2 tablespoons raw peanut butter or 2 tablespoons raw almond butter
1/4 teaspoon chili pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Throw all ingredients in your blender and puree until smooth and well combined.
  • You might have to stop and scrape the sides of your blender to make sure it is all mixed through.
  • Spoon mixture into martini glasses or serving bowls, and chill in the fridge for a couple of hours to yield the best results. The mixture will thicken slightly and the flavor of the chilli will strengthen. However, I have scoffed this after half an hour and been more than satisfied.
  • Like I always say, people take the first bite with their eyes. I like to serve this in gorgeous clear shallow cocktail glasses to elevate this into my "simple but special" file.
  • Serve with fresh raspberries, a dollop of soy cream, and some crushed raw almonds.
  • The different textures and flavours make this a winner on every level.
  • **Please note - For those of you with severe wheat, gluten, and dairy allergies - The Green and Black's cocoa (and a lot of others) is produced in a factory that also works with wheat, milk, hazelnuts, almonds, cashews, pistachios and brazil nuts. It is not in contact with peanuts.

DECADENT CHOCOLATE FROSTING OR MOUSSE (VEGAN)



Decadent Chocolate Frosting or Mousse (Vegan) image

This versatile dessert is wonderful as a frosting for cakes or cupcakes, or perfect as a mousse with chopped strawberries, or a fruit dip. It is so creamy and rich that nobody will believe you if you tell them it contains tofu! Adapted from Alex Jamieson's The Great American Detox Diet. She called for maple syrup, but I think agave has a more neutral flavor. You can use any sweet syrup you want.

Time 13m

Yield 6 Decadent Servings, 6 serving(s)

12 ounces silken tofu
1/4 cup Amaretto
1/4 teaspoon almond extract

Steps:

  • Pour chocolate soy milk into a sml pot & bring to a simmer. Remove from heat & let cool while you melt the choc chips.
  • Melt choc chips in a double boiler - or if you're like me & don't own a double-boiler, make 1 using a sml saucepan set under a big mixing bowl. Put 1-2 in of water in the sml saucepan & bring barely to a simmer. Place the mixing bowl w/choc chips on top of the saucepan & let the heat come up to gently warm the chips while you stir occ till they are completely melted. Remove from heat.
  • Add soy milk & silken tofu to the melted choc chips. Process w/an immersion blender till completely smooth. Stir in the Amaretto & almond extract.
  • Chill in the big bowl (or in individual serving dishes) for at least 1 1/2 hrs (the longer, the better). The pudding will set up nicely as it cools.
  • KID-FRIENDLY OPTION: To make the recipe entirely kid-friendly, omit Amaretto & sub an = amt of choc soy milk, so you'd use 3/4 cup soy milk total. :-).

VEGAN CHOCOLATE MOUSSE



Vegan Chocolate Mousse image

This vegan chocolate mousse is creamy and delicious, thanks to a secret ingredient! It makes the perfect healthy dessert that everyone will love.

Provided by Whitney English

Categories     dessert

Time 5m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

One 12-ounce package extra-firm silken tofu
1/2 avocado
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/3 cup cocoa powder
Fresh fruit, nuts, chocolate chips, or whatever you'd like, for topping

Steps:

  • Rinse the tofu and place in a blender or food processor. Add the avocado, maple syrup and vanilla extract. Blend or process until smooth.
  • Add the cocoa powder and blend or process again until smooth.
  • Transfer the mousse to bowls. Top with fruit, nuts, chocolate chips, or whatever you'd like, and enjoy!

Tips for Perfect Vegan Chocolate Mousse:

  • Use high-quality chocolate: The better the chocolate, the better the mousse will taste. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
  • Chill your ingredients: Chilling the cream and chocolate before whipping them will help the mousse to set properly.
  • Whip the cream until stiff peaks form: This will help to incorporate air into the mousse, making it light and fluffy.
  • Fold in the melted chocolate gently: Overmixing the mousse can cause it to deflate.
  • Chill the mousse for at least 4 hours before serving: This will allow it to set properly.

Conclusion:

This vegan chocolate mousse is a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you are craving something sweet, give this recipe a try!
