This vegan wedding mousse recipe is sure to be a hit with everyone, whether they follow a plant-based diet or not. With its creamy texture and decadent flavor, this mousse is a delightful way to end your special day on a sweet note.
Ingredients:
– 1 can of full-fat coconut milk
– 1/2 cup raw cashews, soaked for at least 4 hours
– 1/4 cup maple syrup
– 1/4 cup cocoa powder
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– Pinch of salt
– Fresh berries and mint leaves for garnish
Instructions:
1. Begin by chilling the can of coconut milk in the refrigerator overnight. This will allow the cream to separate from the liquid.
2. Once the coconut milk has chilled, carefully open the can and scoop out the solidified cream into a mixing bowl, leaving the liquid behind. You can save the liquid for another use, such as adding it to smoothies.
3. In a high-speed blender, combine the soaked cashews, maple syrup, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth and creamy.
4. Add the coconut cream to the blender and blend again until everything is well combined and silky smooth.
5. Taste the mousse and adjust the sweetness if necessary by adding more maple syrup, one tablespoon at a time.
6. Transfer the mousse to individual serving glasses or a large serving dish. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow it to set.
7. Before serving, garnish the mousse with fresh berries and mint leaves for a pop of color and freshness.
8. Enjoy this delectable vegan wedding mousse with your loved ones and savor every spoonful of its lusciousness!
Tips:
– For an extra special touch, consider layering the mousse with crumbled vegan cookies or granola for added texture and flavor.
– If you prefer a lighter mousse, you can fold in whipped aquafaba (the liquid from a can of chickpeas) before chilling.
– Feel free to experiment with different toppings such as shaved dairy-free chocolate, toasted coconut flakes, or chopped nuts.
This vegan wedding mousse is not only delicious but also a beautiful way to showcase the elegance of plant-based desserts. Your guests will be amazed by how rich and indulgent it tastes without any dairy or eggs. So go ahead and add this recipe to your wedding menu for a sweet ending that everyone will remember!
