Hello my Dearest Foodies,
Are you ready for some chocolate weekend indulgence? Well, after one of these, you would be completely satisfied, I can guarantee you that. And the best part is, they are totally guilt free!!! Well you know me, I wouldn't waste my time with desserts that aren't plant based, nutritious and refined sugar free. Besides, I ate bowl of cherries and strawberries while I was making these, lol. They are best friends with chocolate aren't they?
I wish you a wonderful weekend and enjoy the delicious summer gifts as much as you can ππππππ
CHOCOLATE MOUSSE TARTS
Spelt Tarts with Chocolate Mousse topped with Strawberries & Cherries
Vegan β Refined Sugar Free
Author: Lenaβs Vegan Living
CRUST INGREDIENTS makes 3 TARTS
β’ Whole grain spelt flour 1 Β½ cup
β’ Vegan butter Β½ cup cooled (I use Earth Balance)
β’ Raw coconut sugar 1/3 cup (for the dough)
β’ Cacao powder 3tbs
β’ Pure vanilla extract 1 tsp
β’ Pinch of pink salt
β’ Vegan 1 egg replacement
β’ Ice cold water 1 tbs
β’ Tart forms 3 (4 Β½ inch diam)
β’ Parchment paper
β’ Glass with flat bottom
β’ Plastic wrap
β’ Baking beads or beans ΒΌ cup
β’ Strawberries & cherries to decorate
PROCESS
β’ Line the bottom of your tart forms with parchment paper. You may brush one side with oil that helps the paper to stick on the bottom of the form.
β’Prepare your egg in a small dish by following the instructions on the box.
β’ Place all the ingredients except water and egg replacement into a food processor and start pressing the pulse button.
β’ Continue full speed until it looks like breadcrumbs.
β’ Add the egg replacement and blend again, until you see farming a ball. You may add 1 tbs Ice cold water if need it. But only if the dough does not form the ball after you add the egg replacement.
β’ Remove the dough and create nice ball.
β’ Shape the ball into about of 6inch long shape by roiling with your hands on the working surface.
β’ Divide into 3 equal pieces and shape them into balls.
β’ Place one in the middle of the tart form and press down with your fingers making flat surface.
β’ Apply plastic wrap to cover the surface and begin pressing down gently with glass while moving towards the edges, until you create rim about ΒΌ thick.
β’ Peal the plastic off and remove the excess dough that overlap the edge.
β’ Gently press down the edge with you your fingers to make it nice and smooth.
β’ Preheat the oven to 350F.
β’ Pierce with fork the bottom of each tart and cover with few beans or baking beads to prevent bubbling.
β’ Bake for 15min, then remove the beans or beads and bake for another 10minutes. You may check with toothpick, to make sure they are ready. If the toothpick comes out dry, they are ready, if not, they need another 5 to 1o minutes.
β’ When ready, let them cool down for 30min.
β’ Remove from tart forms (they should come out very easily) and place on your working surface.
β’ Fill with mousse.
MOUSSE
β’ Aquafaba 1 cup (the liquid from chickpeas, organic, no salt added)
β’ Cream of tartar ΒΌ tsp
β’ Pure Vanilla extract 1tsp
β’ Dark chocolate 100gr (I use Lindt 85%)
β’ Canned coconut cream ΒΌ cup
β’ Xylitol Β½ cup
PROCESS
β’ Break the chocolate and melt above the steam.
β’ Whisk the coconut cream, mix with the chocolate and set aside.
β’ Using a mixer, began whipping the aquafaba with cream of tartar and adding Xylitol gradually, one tbs at the time, until you get thick fluffy consistency.
β’ When ready, start pouring the chocolate into the foam, very slowly, while stirring gently.
β’ Place it into a refrigerator for 3ominutes.
β’ When ready, fill your tarts and pour the rest into glasses. If you decide to make more tarts, you should have enough for 6 to 8.
β’ Decorate your tarts with fruits and chocolate drizzle if you like.

Thank you so much Dear Kendra πππ
Just about to sit down to dinner, but I would love some of this for dessert! Berries and chocolate are definitely best buddies. :)
I just had dinner too, but I had the tart earlier for snack, lol. It kept me full for a quite long time, because I had only very light lunch. I wish I could send it to you Katie, thank you so much πππ
Oh my goodness, this is my kind of food for a treat. It looks simply divine.
I am happy to hear that Trudee, thank you so much πππ

Thank you so much Sweetie, I am glad you like them πππ
oh, I love chocolate in every variation, so delicious Lena!
Thank you so much Sweetie πππ
Howdy Miss Lena! whoa, these are my kind of dessert! Totally healthy, superfood based, rich and filling...I don't think I could make them look like artwork the way you do though! lol. This post is gorgeous!
Howdy Janton! I really wish I could send it to you. I know this is not something you could make. However, I just made something sweet, healthy, easy, delicious and gluten free that you will be able to make. I will post the recipe by Saturday. Thank you so much for visiting, I really appreciate it π
Howdy today Miss Lena! Is it hard to find good vegan recipes? Or is the field growing fast enough that many chefs and food specialists(I don't know what you call people who come up with new recipes. lol.) are coming out with good ones all the time?
There is definitely lots of good vegan recipes out there. However, they are many variations and I guess people are looking for specific categories such as: gluten free, refined sugar free, oil free, raw, low carbs, nut free, soy free, etc. There for, there is never enough, lol.
Wow, I didn't think about all those categories! Dang. That's good though, more specialty recipes are called for then! I just saw an interesting article about vegans that is positive but controversial to vegans so I'm debating whether to do a post about it. You know how I try to avoid controversy! lol.
Oh yes, that's very good. And about the article, I don't mind controversial, I just don't like when people who are not vegans writing about us. Obviously, we are not perfect, but under the circumstances and the society we are live in, it is impossible is to be. This is very interesting article that I greatly relate to and it may help you with your article, if you are going to write it. https://www.all-creatures.org/articles2/act-vegans-trauma.html?fbclid=IwAR1wmyHhT_8IwSkJw4Hw1MB-VaRgkzIYzkGD4vZnVXsIN7ppS6Fevq8Rz0U
Howdy Miss Lena! Thanks for that article, it doesn't look too long for my pea brain to handle so I will read it! I wouldn't be writing about vegans in general, I would be writing about a couple of specific ones and what they are doing and why. I would never write anything negative about the...what do I call it, movement? Lifestyle?
WOW those look so good and to think they are guilt free incredible :)
Yes they are! All my desserts are guilt free and some of them are easier to make. Thank you so much for visiting, it means a lot πππ
It is always my pleasure to visit ;)
Thank you π
Most welcome have a great weekend
Oh my goodness!!! What awesome thing to eat over the weekend! You make me hungry dear Lena. I hope I can make this one day as I am still on diet. I love the arrangement too! Happy weekend!
Thank you so much and good luck with your diet my Dear. I hope you will be able to eat desserts like this soon, since they are guilt free πππ
