Vegan Chocolate Mousse

Chocolate Mousse, this is probably one of the most loved desserts of all time! The smooth, creamy, silky texture, combined with a rich dark chocolate flavor is irreplaceable!

This recipe took me almost two full years to develop because I am such a mousse snob. I grew up enjoying the original homemade version loaded with lots of sugar and milk of course and I refused to settle for anything less! Finally I have created a dairy-free, gluten-free and most importantly refined-sugar free mousse that you can feel good about enjoying!

Carrot Cake

Fall is coming! Well, it is for most of you in America! For us here in San Diego, I think we have a few more Santa Ana’s and warm beach days before we feel the cool nights and brisk days… But that doesn’t stop me from wanting to make delicious goodies with more cinnamon and nutmeg to get me in the mood! This week, I am finally sharing my recipe for raw carrot cake.

This is a very special recipe to me. I developed this cake over a year and a half ago, and it was so good, it almost made it into my cookbook, Sweets in the Raw: Naturally Healthy Desserts. However, something wasn’t 100% with it. I mean, it was a solid 97%, which is way more than a passing grade, but I knew I could make it better with a little time. Now I should mention, the previous “final recipe” took six attempts to get it right. This new recipe took an addition two more attempts, and I have finally nailed it! I really love this dessert, and you’re going to love it too.

The flavors of this cake get deeper and more powerful with each hour it sets. I suggest making these one day before you plan on serving for the perfect flavors.
