Biscuit Base Maple Mousse Cake
More like a yummy treat that is inspired by cheesecake!
For the biscuit-style base:
2 Tablespoons hazelnuts
2 Tablespoons cashews
1 Tablespoon chia seeds
2 Tablespoons oat milk (or other plant milk)
1 Tablespoon cacao
1 teaspoon stevia (or other dry sweetener)
Combine in a mini food processor and process til nuts are crumbly and mixture has thickened and holds together well.
Line the base of 2 servings glasses with the biscuit base and press down gently.
For the mousse:
150g soft silken tofu
1/2 teaspoon vanilla essense
2 Tablespoons pure maple syrup
1 Tablespoon ground flax seeds
Combine in a mini food processor and process til smooth and thick.
Scoop mousse on top of the biscuit base.
Serve with fruit of choice.
If stored in the fridge this will thicken even more..... If you can wait that long!

I'm all for speedy desserts, especially on weekdays. We usually end up drinking frozen fruit smoothies for our desserts (with chia seeds thrown in for added goodness)
ReplyDeleteI love the sound of your maple mousse cake. I've never used silken tofu in a dessert. Will have to give it a try!
Here's wishing you a fab weekend! xx
Thanks Sharon!

I'm looking forward to trying this one Sandy. Thanks for sharing it.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome! I hope you enjoy it as much as we did :-)
DeleteLooks lovely, I do like the idea of all those tasty nuts in the base, so much better than all those cheesecake bases that just have crushed biscuits.
ReplyDeleteGlad you like the base - much more natural :-)
DeleteThis looks delicious! Just my kind of dessert :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks - hope you like it :-)
DeleteI really need to buy my son a food processor so he can make this sort of dessert:))) I do like the nutty base, a clever idea.
ReplyDeleteFor the large majority of our easy dishes like this I use a mini food processor that I picked up for $15 at Target! been so worth it! And it doesn't take up a huge amount of cupboard space like larger ones :-)
DeleteThis looks amazing! Sounds really fast, too!
