Vegan gingerbread mousse with mulled wine cherries, wouldn’t that be ideal for Christmas? The combination of sour cherries and chocolate cream definitely drew me in right away. A Christmas feast without dessert is a half-measure in my view. What else are you supposed to do when you sit together for hours? Twiddling your thumbs? No, I am in favor of an extensive menu, which I can best prepare already. This dessert is ideal to prepare and store in the refrigerator. A dream of chocolate and aromatic mulled wine cherries, are you with me?
Vegan gingerbread mousse with mulled wine cherries
The dessert consists of two layers, the chocolate espresso mousse and mulled wine cherries. If you like, top the whole thing with fine vegan cream and chocolate shavings. Let’s take a closer look at the two layers.
The chocolate espresso mousse is ready in a few minutes. Melt chocolate over a water bath, add to a blender along with silken tofu, gingerbread spice, espresso and vanilla and blend to a fine mousse.
For the mulled wine cherries, I pour the sour cherries, put them in a pot along with non-alcoholic mulled wine and cinnamon. I take 6 tablespoons of the juice of the mulled wine cherries and mix the cornstarch in it. This gives a nice binding at the end and ensures that the mulled wine cherries thicken a bit.
TIP: I like to drink the collected cherry juice pure, add it to smoothies or porridges. It’s worth picking up the juice because it’s full of healthy ingredients. These include the plant pigment anthocyanin (said to have anti-inflammatory effects) and melatonin (promotes restful sleep). In addition, sour cherry juice is said to reduce the risk of developing heart disease.
Vegan dessert with few ingredients
There is still the crucial question of whether the mulled wine is better with or without promille? Unfortunately, I can’t give a blanket answer to this question, because it depends entirely on what your attitude towards alcohol is in general. Here, opinions differ and there are people who strictly refuse the consumption of alcohol. On the other hand, many people see the consumption of alcohol as absolutely fine.
You might be interested in my attitude towards alcohol. I am not opposed to this in principle, however, I am aware that it is a Cell poison is involved. Therefore, I limit the consumption of alcohol to very few occasions. With this dessert it is hardly noticeable whether the mulled wine is with or without alcohol. The aroma comes from more of the Christmas spices than the alcohol.
Here are a few suggestions for a good mulled wine or punch:
- DIY, I can see it’s time to get a good mulled wine recipe on the site.
- Organic mulled wine in vegan quality: You would think that mulled wine or wine is basically vegan is. Unfortunately, this is not the case, because many wines and mulled wines are made with the help of animal products clarified . This can be egg white, or other animal proteins from fish bladder, gelatin or casein from skim milk. Personally, I have an absolute favorite when it comes to mulled wine: Hot deer, organic & vegan with natural spices
- Organic mulled wine or punch without alcohol, if it’s important to you that no alcohol ends up in the dessert, then this is my personal favorite
Perfect, now we have discussed the most important points for our Christmas and vegan dessert. Otherwise, there is not much to consider, because the recipe is really simple and succeeds safely. However, I do have a few tips and tricks at hand:
- Preparation: Gingerbread mousse is best prepared the day before, because it can really soak through and become firm.
- If it’s important to you that the two layers are perfectly separated, fill in the mulled wine cherries first, let them cool for 2 hours , and only then add the chocolate-espresso mousse on top.
- The melted chocolate should not be too hot when poured into the silken tofu. Check with your finger and, if in doubt, allow to cool for a few minutes.
