Super Easy Vegan Chocolate Mouse
The image of this creamy vegan chocolate mousse caught my eye right away as I perused Robin Quiver’s book, The Vegucation of Robin. It combines high quality chocolate, almond milk, coconut milk and silken tofu. Couldn’t be easier to make. Just melt chocolate and then buzz it all in the blender. Try her elegant Wine-Poached Pears with Saffron, Apricots, and Almond as well.

Airy and light yet rich and dense on the tongue, this mousse always flies under the radar of those who think they know a vegan dessert when they see one. Heap it in bowls or layer it in a glass with bananas and strawberries for a parfait—either way, you’ll be hard-pressed to put the spoon down.
