Almond chocolate mousse cake

I am happy to share this one with you. I have noticed that everybody who makes vegan & raw mousse cake uses cashewnuts to make a mousse. I tried something different. I used almonds to make it, and it was pure success! 

My pot for this recipe is just 13 cm in diameter, so keep that in mind if you are making this recipe 

Mousse Ingredients: 
2/3 Cup almonds (soak in hot water for few hours and then peel) 
5 Tbsp heavy coconut milk 
3 Tbsp coconut butter 
3 Tbsp maple syrup 
3 Tbsp orange juice (freshly squeezed)
Zest of 1/2 orange 
2 Tbsp raw cacao 

Base ingredients:
1/3 cup raw almonds 
10- 12 dates 

Process:

Blend toghether almonds and dates and press on the bottom of the pot. Freeze while preparing mousse. 

After soaking almonds, peel of the skin and blend with heavy cream milk. Add coconut butter, maple syrup, freshly squeezed orange juice and orange zest. Blend for few minutes until smooth and creamy. 

Separate a part of paste and add cacao to make a chocolate layer. Leave aside. 

Place the white part on the base and freeze for at least one hour. Then, put the chocolate part on top  and leave to settle overnight in a fridge. 

Decorate with raw cacao and mini truffles made of base dough.  

Badem - cokolada tortica

Primijetila sam da svi koji prave zdrave varijante veganskih, bezglutenskih mus kolaca koriste indijske orascice za mus bazu. Oni su prilicno skupi, pa sam odlucila malo eksperimentisati s bademima. I uspjela! 

Evo recepta za ovaj mus badem kolac. Ovo su mjere za mali kalup promjera 13 cm, imajte to na umu. 

Potrebno za mus: 
2/3 solje badema (potopite u vrelu vodu na nekoliko sati i ogulite kozu)
5 kasika krem kokosovog mlijeka (koristite mlijeko s vrha u konzervi) 
3 kasike kokosovog putera 
3 kasike javorovog sirupa 
3 kasike soka narandze 
Narendana kora narandze

Potrebno za bazu: 
1/3 solje sirovih badema 
10 - 12 hurmi 

Bazu cete napraviti tako sto cete staviti u blender bademe i hurme i dobro izblendati. 

Stavite u kalup i ostavite u frizider dok pripremate muss. 

Bademe morate drzati u vreloj vodi nekoliko sati ili ih ostavite u vodi preko noci. Ogulite kozu, ocijedite vodu i stavite bademe u blender. Najprije blendajte s kokosovim mlijekom, pa dodajte i ostale sastojke. Nakon nekoliko minuta dobit cete finu mus pastu. 

Odvojite jedan dio i u njega dodajte sirovi kakao. Ostavite sa strane. 

Bijelu masu izlijte na koru i ostavite u frizideru jedan sat. Onda dodajte i cokoaldni sloj i sve skupa ostavite u frizideru nekoliko sati, ili preko noci. Dekorisite kakaom i kuglicama koje mozete napraviti od ostatka mase od baze kolaca.
