Vegan Chocolate & Raspberry Mousse Cake

Serves 8-10

Ingredients
  

  • Biscuit base:
  • 1 cup raw buckwheat
  • 2 cups coconut flakes
  • 1 cup medjool dates seeds removed (about 8 dates)
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • Mousse filling:
  • 375 g Organic Firm Tofu
  • 1 cup vegan chocolate can use a block broken up or choc chips
  • 1 Tbsp. cacao powder
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup plant-based milk of choice
  • 1/2 tsp. vanilla bean powder
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries you can use frozen but they will become a little watery in the fridge but still tastes delicious
  • Chocolate sauce this is optional:
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup cacao powder
  • 2 Tbsp. maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp. vanilla bean powder
  • Topping suggestions:
  • Fresh or frozen raspberries
  • Cacao nibs
  • Edible flowers

Instructions
 

  • Start by placing the chocolate for the filling in a bowl and melt by place bowl in saucepan with water on a low heat or in microwave. While this is melting you can start making the rest of the cake.
  • Add all crust ingredients into a high speed blender or food processor and blend until combined (it will be a bit crumbly like a biscuit). Line the bottom of a spring-form cake tin (I used a 22cm tin) with baking paper and transfer the base into the tin. Press down with fingers until its even and place in freezer.
  • Place all filling ingredients into blender (except raspberries) and pour in the melted chocolate, blend until smooth and creamy. Add in the raspberries and stir into the mixture with a spoon. Pour onto the crust and even out with the back of a spoon. Place in fridge to set for at least 4 hours (overnight for the best result) and it will become firm.
  • When you're ready to serve, using a butter knife carefully go around the edges separating the mousse from the side of the tin and take out of the tin.
  • Make the chocolate sauce by mixing all ingredients together in a bowl until it becomes smooth then pour over cake (you could also use melted chocolate if you didn't want to make this).
  • Top with fresh or frozen raspberries, cacao nibs and edible flowers for decoration!
  • Store any left overs in fridge.
