Semolina Pudding

Are you ready for a dessert that will bring back childhood memories and is super easy to prepare? Try out this delicious recipe!!!

Hi Everyone,

Welcome back to my blog!

In this post, I will show you a very easy dessert to make and I bet that to some of you it will bring back childhood memories – and it takes only 15 minutes to prepare 🙂
We will make semolina pudding that can be eaten hot (if you really can’t wait) or cold.

INGREDIENTS:
– 110g of wheat semolina (10 tbsp)
– 6 tbsp of sugar
– 500ml of soy milk (but use any plant-based milk you like!)
– 60g of dark chocolate
– 50g of Brazil nuts
– 1,5 tbsp of agave syrup
– 1 tsp of vanilla extract

PREPARATION:
To start off, pour the soy milk into a saucepan and heat it up on low heat – in the meanwhile, you can also start melting your chocolate (in a bowl above some boiling water).

Mix semolina and sugar into a bowl with 200ml of water – once the milk starts boiling you can add the semolina mix to it – whisk continuously!

Once it starts thickening, you can blend up the brazil nuts (or any other) and add them to the semolina, along with the agave syrup and vanilla extract.

Take the mixture off the hob and pour it into a baking tray or a mold of your preference – pour the dark chocolate on top and just mix it gently on top.

Now, the decision is up to you if you want to cool it down or consume it right away!

Enjoy!

Strawberry Pie

Want a Strawberry Pie recipe that is super easy to make? You are in the right place, and my suggestion is to make 2 right away! 😉

Hi Everyone,

In this post, I will show you a super-easy way to make a delicious strawberry pie!

The ingredients that you will need for the crust are:
– 350g of flour
– 130g of sugar
– 1 tbsp of baking powder
– 1 lemon zest
– pinch of salt
– 130ml of almond milk
– 100ml of sunflower oil
– 1 tsp of vanilla extract

Place the dry components into a bowl (flour, sugar, baking powder) and also add the zest to it. Whisk it until it all mixes well.
Now add the rest of the ingredients and then knead the dough!
Once done, wrap it up in some cling film and leave it in the fridge for at least 2 hours.

Once you take it out of the fridge, roll out the dough and place it into a baking tray that you have buttered up with some vegan butter – cut off the parts that are sticking out and it’s time to bake it in a preheated oven for 20 minutes on a 180°C (360°F).

Now let’s make the filling to finish it off:
– 300g of strawberries (+ extra 300-400g just to cut up and place on the pie)
– 100g of light brown sugar
– 2 tbsp of agave syrup
– 1 tsp of vanilla extract
– 1,5 tbsp of lemon juice
– 4-5 tbsp of corn starch

Place all ingredients (except the corn starch) into a blender and blend it. Now, place it into a saucepan and cook it on medium heat – once boiling, mix the corn starch with some water and add it to the saucepan. Stir it for a couple of minutes and take it off the hob.

You will just need another 300-400g of strawberries, that you will cut into bigger pieces and mix in some lemon juice so they stay fresh.

Once the pie is baked, let it rest for half an hour to cool down, and then add the strawberries and filling (it should be warm) to it and you are ready to let it cool down fully in the fridge for a couple of hours before you serve it!

Cheers,

Vito

Vegan Mousse

Curious how to make an irresistible dessert? Well, you are in the right place to learn how to make a plant-based chocolate mousse!

 

Hi Everyone,

Today it’s time to cover up a famous recipe in a vegan way and it is Chocolate Mousse – a dessert for any occasion!

To start off, get some Aquafaba chilled in the fridge (liquid from a can of chickpeas)!

INGREDIENTS:
– 1 can of chickpeas (aquafaba) – chilled (this is a must)
– 100g of dark chocolate (should be at least 70%)
– 200ml of canned coconut milk (try to scoop out the thicker parts)
– 1 tsp of vanilla extract
– 1 tsp of strawberry extract
– 1 tbsp of agave syrup
– 3 tbsp of sugar
– 1/2 orange (zest)

PREPARATION:

To start off drain the liquid from the chickpeas (it has to be chilled!) and place it into a bowl, add the sugar, and whisk it until you get a thick ‘eggwhite’ – don’t worry, you can’t over whisk it!
Now you can melt the chocolate in a bowl on a saucepan filled with some water – medium heat on the stove.
It’s time for mixing – a lot!
Once the chocolate is melted use another bowl where you will put about 1/3 of the aquafaba and add all the chocolate to it – whisk until the chocolate nicely incorporates.
Now you can add coconut milk and keep up the good work – once you get a proper mixture add the rest of the ingredients: vanilla & strawberry extract, agave syrup, and orange zest – you know what to do now.. 🙂
Now you can start adding the rest of the aquafaba and keep mixing it.
You are probably a bit tired, but don’t give up as the only thing that is left now is to fill up the glasses with the mixture, cover it up with some cling film and let it stay in the fridge overnight (it will take at least 8 hours to get a proper texture).
Once ready you can add some fresh strawberries to it and some homemade caramel!

Enjoy!!
