Again within the day I used to make a easy chocolate mousse that was simply two components. Whipped cream and chocolate. You whipped the cream to mushy peaks then folded in melted darkish chocolate. It was one of the vital scrumptious issues ever, so easy however so good. A couple of bites have been satisfying however I at all times completed off my complete glass of it as a result of it was additionally laborious to cease consuming. It was additionally one thing that you possibly can simply add flavors to, and one among my favorites was peanut butter. Fortunately this mousse is definitely made vegan by simply utilizing whipped full fats coconut milk or cream! And it makes an exquisite tart or pie filling so once I was craving the mousse final weekend I made a decision to make a Vegan Chocolate Peanut Butter Mousse Tart with Pretzel Crust!
I’ve been eager to make a pretzel crust for some time now, and I had a bag of pretzels sitting in my pantry so I made a decision to go for it! I believed the salty pretzels can be an ideal match with the darkish chocolate and peanut butter! I additionally love that they’re pretty straightforward to make like a graham cracker crust can be, simply combine within the meals processor and press into the pan! I used a tart pan this time for straightforward elimination. That’s what I really like about detachable backside tart pans! This crust simply had 3 components, the pretzels, coconut sugar and melted vegan butter! In case you wished to make use of common granulated sugar for those who do not need coconut sugar you are able to do that as properly. And for those who choose to make use of coconut oil instead of the butter that may work too. I simply occurred to have a stick of vegan butter readily available.
Like I discussed earlier than, this filling is very easy to make! You simply buzz coconut milk, peanut butter, just a little vanilla extract till easy, then pour in melted darkish chocolate with the motor working on the meals processor simply till blended. One factor to recollect although, is usually this filling begins to agency up so you will need to work rapidly. If that occurs, simply re-blend it and it must be okay, it is going to simply take just a little longer to set if it will get hotter.
Let me inform you, the filling was laborious to cease consuming, I used to be scraping each final little bit of it from the meals processor to take pleasure in! The completed product was even higher although! The crunchy salty crust was such a pleasant distinction to the sleek, wealthy candy chocolate peanut butter filling! I topped it off with extra peanuts and chocolate chips to make it fairly!
