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 tender peaks then folded in melted darkish chocolate. It was one of the crucial scrumptious issues ever, so easy however so good. Just a few bites had been satisfying however I at all times completed off my entire glass of it as a result of it was additionally exhausting to cease consuming. It was additionally one thing that you may simply add flavors to, and one in every of 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 after 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 desirous 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 removing. That’s what I like about detachable backside tart pans! This crust simply had 3 components, the pretzels, coconut sugar and melted vegan butter! For those who wished to make use of common granulated sugar for those who should not have coconut sugar you are able to do that as effectively. And for those who want to make use of coconut oil rather than the butter that will work too. I simply occurred to have a stick of vegan butter available.
Like I discussed earlier than, this filling is very easy to make! You simply buzz coconut milk, peanut butter, a bit of 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 typically this filling begins to agency up so you will need to work rapidly. If that occurs, simply re-blend it and it needs to be okay, it would simply take a bit of longer to set if it will get hotter.
Let me let you know, the filling was exhausting to cease consuming, I used to be scraping each final little bit of it from the meals processor to get pleasure from! 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! If you’re a darkish chocolate fan, undoubtedly give this Vegan Chocolate Peanut Butter Mousse Tart with Pretzel Crust a attempt!
