Passion fruit Mousse with chocolate shavings

Hi guys! So the recipe of toda, I've been craving about:A really creamy mousse.. but since I'm dairy intolerant, I unfortunally can't eat.(T-T) so this is a adapted version of many many many recipes that I've been trying. Passion Fruit mousse is pretty popular in Brazil, but the traditional mousse is made with heavy cream(or egg whites),condensed milk and passion fruit juice, but for do a good mousse is dificult because the condensed milk makes toomuch sweet and the heavy cream gives a heavy texture.

This recipe is vegan, gluten-free,dairy-free and it has a lightweight consistency.

Ingredients:

1 cup of passion fruit juice (2 passion fruits)

1 cup of water

1 tsp of agar agar

3/4 cup of sugar(any kind of sugar is OK i use demerara sugar)

1 cup of soy cream or plant based yogurt

Instructions.

Make the passion fruit juice and Strain the juice and set aside. In a saucepan dissolve the agar agar with water and sugar. On medium heat stir until the sugar dissolves and then over high heat let the agar agar boil for two minutes turn off the heat and let it cool.

Mix the juice,the agar agar and the cream or yogurt in a blender.

Blend for 2-5 minutes until  the mixture becomes aerated, put in a beautiful bowl or in separeted cups and let in the fridge for 4 hours.

Tip: If you want more deliciouness you can put some digestive biscuits in the bottom of the bowl.

On top I used dark brown chocolate shavings, but a good option and more low calorie will be a fruit passion jam or a berrie jam will be nice too!

Have a wonderful Saturday!

SUPREME RAW CHOCOLATE BROWNIES

Hello lovely people.. So today is sunday and i'm having more time to cook and relax and i make this supreme raw chocolate brownies with chocolate chips and the best they1re sugar free,gluten free,dairy free, quick to make and the best FUDGE! I'm obsses with fudge brownies but the regular recipe is full of eggs,fat and sugar so i wanted to make a recipe close to the regular brownies and keep them fudge too...

    Ingredients:  (Make 6 medium squares)

1 cup of walnuts

1/3 cup of dates

2 tbsp cocoa powder

1 tbsp of oil

(cocunut oil will be the best in this case but you can use canola oil)

1/2 of chocolate chips

Instructions

Soak the walnuts in the water for at least 4 hours or overnight, chopped the dates(if they're to harden you can soft them in the water for 30 min) and the cocoa powder,put in the food processor and pulse until you get a creamy consistency, add the remaining ingredients and pulse until is everything is combine. Put the batter in a pan and chilled them in the fridge for at least 2 hours or 30 min. in the freezer. Cut in squares, or you can use cookie cutters to make in different shapes that will become really cute brownies.

For this recipe I recommend to use a fake bottom baking sheet, to make more easy to take off the brownies.

If you don't have a food processor, and you want to make this in a blender,add 1 or 2 tablespoons of water to make it easy to blend.

They were extremely photogenic right? 

Note: At the end of this posting they've all been eaten.

Have a lovely day
