Raspberry coconut mousse that is superquick and delicious
Deliciously Ella
When you’re thinking about going vegan there are probably lots of different things running through your mind. For me the two most annoying ones were desserts and cheese… I already gave you the recipe for a fake parmesan but the desserts… are a whole different story. The idea of never being able to bake anything anymore or to not make luscious desserts with lots of dairy kind of filled me with dread. What would the fun be in creating things without those key ingredients? Deliciously Ella to the rescue. I have been a fan of her books for quite a while now, even before I started looking into eating vegan myself and her latest book (well her latest book in Dutch anyway) is Delicious Ella Everyday. Kind of a good match with the title of this blog right?
Vegan desserts
As it turns out there are quite a few delicious vegan desserts out there. Proof of that is this delicious raspberry coconut mousse. It’s literally made in just a few minutes and requires only a handful of ingredients to begin with. You can prepare it upfront if you have guests coming along and keep in the fridge. According to the recipe the dessert needs to set for a couple of hours but I didn’t think it made all that much difference. So it will still remain soft and delicious no matter how long you put it in the fridge. Try for yourself. You’ll love it!

There are plenty of vegan fruit mousses out there, but the addition of almond past is simply inspired. I never think to use it in the first place, for anything, but now it’s definitely going on the grocery list for further experimentation.
Thanks Hannah! I love almond paste. I use it quite a lot also for dressings and such. Or simply over fresh fruits for a quick breakfast. So good! My favorite is the white almond paste 😊
