My Vegan Journey
I wasn't always the VeganSpiceBoy you know and love today. There was a time when I couldn't imagine a meal without cheese or a Sunday roast. But three years ago, I took a leap of faith after watching a documentary that forever changed my perspective. It was tough at first, I won't sugarcoat it. But as I delved deeper into the variety and richness of vegan cuisine, I discovered not just an incredible array of foods, but a new, vibrant community.
One dish, in particular, helped me transition more smoothly than I ever thought possible. And lucky for you, I'm sharing that very recipe today! It's a decadent, smooth, and absolutely Dreamy Vegan Chocolate Mousse. Perfect for impressing at dinner parties or indulging in a solo treat; let's get to it! 🍫🎉
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup raw cashews, soaked overnight
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup coconut cream
- A pinch of sea salt
- Fresh berries for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Start by draining your soaked cashews and rinsing them under cold water.
- In a blender, combine the cashews, cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, coconut cream, and a pinch of sea salt. Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
- Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary, then pour the mousse into serving dishes.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set. The longer it chills, the firmer it will become.
- Garnish with fresh berries before serving for that extra pop of color and freshness. 🍓🍫
Embrace the journey, friends, and remember that every dish tells a story. May this Dreamy Vegan Chocolate Mousse add a sweet chapter to yours.
Stay spicy! 😉🌶️
