Chocolate Coconut Moose
13.5 oz coconut milk (1 can)
1/3c water
1c chocolate chips
1T maple syrup
1/4t salt
1 1/2t agar
1t vanilla
Measure out all of the other ingredients and have them ready.
In a saucepan on the stove over a low to medium flame, combine the milk, chocolate chips, maple syrup, agar and salt, stirring frequently. Continue cooking over a low flame until the chocolate chips melt, about 10-15 minutes. The mixture should look like hot chocolate, creamy and full- bodied.
Place the contents of the saucepan into a blender. Caution, hot liquids in a blender can be extremely dangerous. Fill only half way to the top of the blender and proceed in batches if necessary. * Add the vanilla and taste the mixture. Adjust the seasonings to your tastes. Make sure all of the adjustments happen before you pour it to set.
Pour the mixture out of the blender through a sieve, lined with cheesecloth, or through a very fine mesh strainer, into a large serving bowl. The straining will catch any lumps, clumps and/ or impurities (like uncooked agar).
To make individual servings, pour mixture directly into several, small, serving bowls Allow this to cool and set for at least 5-6 hours, best overnight.
Serve with a nut crème and fresh berries.

1t maca powder
1/2t cinnamon + additional for dusting
In a blender, combine all ingredients and process until smooth.
Pour into serving glasses and dust with cinnamon. Can serve over ice or blended with ice for a thicker smoothie style beverage.
I have to say this spiked with a spiced rum is the OPPOSITE of not good.
SO. FRICKEN.FESTIVE.
This dessert is OFF THE CHAIN……One of the very first dessert recipes that I created at the Natural Gourmet…they even asked for it to be included in their repertoire of vegan dessert recipes…It is CRAZY good on its’ own or paired with a vegan whipped cream, or a cashew nut cream and fresh berries. I have also used this to fill an extremely decadent chocolate layer cake…I promise you, this is FAIL proof and unbelievably AWESOME. It is light and airy just like a dairy, egg based mousse.

My peaches are just coming about now; I have two baby trees that are loaded with fruit and one mature tree not so many peaches, both sweet yellow and white peaches. I used white peaches this morning. This smoothie reminds me of a Lassi, or kefir drink- it’s so delicious, super summery and filled with amazing ingredients from antioxidants to omega 3′ fatty acids.
