A chocolate mousse tart that is rich and creamy, with a hint of heat from chili powder and cayenne pepper. It is surrounded by a flaky vegan pie crust.
Ingredients: 1 1/2 cups raw cashews, soaked for 4-6 hours. 1/4 cup cocoa powder. 1/2 cup maple syrup. 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted. 1 tsp vanilla extract. 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon. 1/4 tsp chili powder. 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper. 1/4 tsp salt. 1 pre-made vegan pie crust.
Instructions: Drain and rinse the soaked cashews. In a food processor, combine the cashews, cocoa powder, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, cinnamon, chili powder, cayenne pepper, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. Pour the mixture into the pre-made vegan pie crust and smooth the top with a spatula. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set. Serve chilled, optionally garnished with shaved chocolate or a sprinkle of chili powder.
