A lotI was really in the mood for a mousse pie, and had a huge batch of soaked and blended irish moss in the fridge. This made a huge batch, enough for 12 mini tarts and 1 full sized tart. The chocolate cashew fudge is my favorite but they're all delish. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
For the crust:
2 cups coconut flour
2 cups cashew flour or finely ground unsoaked
cashews
12 large dates, soaked and blended into paste
1 cup coconut oil or coconut butter
1 tbsp vanilla powder
Pinch of
salt
Water if needed
Apricot mousse:
2 cups dried apricots, soaked with some juice reserved
1/2 cup irish moss paste
1 tsp vanilla
powder
Optional 1/2 cup cashews (makes it a little richer and creamier, i love cashews and apricots)
Pinch of cardamom
Juice of 1 orange
Persimmon mousse:
1 1/2 cups sliced dried persimmon, packed, soaking water reserved
1/2 cup irish moss paste
1 tsp vanilla
powder
Optional 1/2 cup cashews
Banana cream filling:
4 whole banana
3 dried bananas (nice if you have them, don't stress if you don't)
1/2 cup irish moss
paste
1 tsp vanilla powder
1/2 cup cashews
Chocolate fudge cream filling:
1 cup cashew butter
1 tbsp cacao butter
2 tsp vanilla powder
1 cup cacao
powder
1 cup carob powder
1/4-1/2 cup coconut nectar ( or agave)
For fruit mousse filling
Preparation:
For crust, mix thoroughly until a dough forms. Press into mini tart pans and full sized tart pans, preferably with removable ring. Refrigerate until firm or dehydrate 1 hour until a little drier and crumblier. Set aside. Reserve some crumbs for
topping if desired.
For fruit fillings, blend soaked fruit, irish moss and vanilla with enough liquid to create a smooth mousse. Spoon onto crust and carefully smooth out, sprinkling with crumbs if desired Refrigerate 30-60 minutes until set. Slice and serve. Can be frozen, slice first!
For chocolate filling, warm cashew butter and cacao butter until soft and blend with other ingredients. Spoon onto crust and smooth out. This thickens very quickly and is very rich, so start slowly!
Enjoy!
