Vegan Mousse Recipe
I'm not a big dessert person. Don't get me wrong, a well placed truffle is great. But I'm not going to be baking constantly or buying sweets every day. It's just not my thing! That being said, when a special date came up for me and my fiancé I decided I wanted to make him a sweet vegan treat as a surprise! I didn't want to spend a huge amount of time making it, but I wanted it to be delicious. I had been doing research for my 10 Yummy Vegan Cake Recipes post and was getting inspired. I tweaked a couple different recipes based on what I had available and my preferences, and what came out was SO GOOD. Ridiculously good. Not just the taste, but the textured was so divinely mousse-y. Lets just say, I was pretty happy. And since I know you're all waiting with baited breath, I'll tell you. Yes, my fiancé loved it. Jason requested that I make it "All the time!", if that's any indication!
