This is what I made for dessert for Thanksgiving last weekend....a chocolate mousse torte. You know how every cafe/bakery/restaurant has a dessert that they call "death by chocolate?" This is that dessert. So chocolatey. So decadent. So rich.
Chocolate Mousse TorteBrownie Crust:
1 1/2 c. sugar
1/4 c. canola oil
2 tbsp water
2 tsp ground flax
1/2 c. water
2 tsp vanilla
1 1/3 c. flour
3/4 c. cocoa
3/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
Chocolate Mousse Filling:
1/2 c. soy milk
9 oz. vegan chocolate chips
12 oz. extra-firm silken tofu
1/4 c. coffee
1/4 tsp vanilla
Ganache Topping:
8 oz. vegan chocolate chips
1 c. soy milk
Crust:
Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease 11" springform pan. Mix together sugar, oil, and 2 tbsp water. In separate bowl, mix flax and 1/2 c. water. Add to oil mixture along with vanilla. In a third bowl, combine flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt. Add to oil mixture. Stir to combine. Pour into pan and bake 26 min. (or until toothpick inserted into middle comes out clean). Cool completely.
Mousse:
Bring soy milk to gentle simmer. Remove from heat. Melt chocolate chips in double boiler. Remove from heat. Combine chocolate, soy milk, and tofu in food processor. Process until smooth. Add coffee and vanilla. Process some more. Spread filling evenly over brownie crust.
Topping:
Bring soy milk to gentle simmer. Remove from heat and pour over chocolate chips. Mix until smooth. Spread this evenly over mousse.
Chill for at least 2 hours.
