Dairy Free Chocolate Mousse Pie Recipes

DAIRY-FREE CHOCOLATE MOUSSE PIE

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350°F.
• Process cookies in a food processor until crumb size. You should have about 1½ cups of cookie crumbs.
• Add the cocoa powder, tapioca starch, and xanthan gum and pulse to combine.
• Add the vanilla and gradually add the shortening, ½ tablespoon at a time, pulsing after each addition. Pulse until small pea size crumbles form.
• Press the mixture evenly into a 9-inch round pie pan. Bake for 8 minutes. Let it cool while you prepare the filling.
• In a blender or food processor, puree the tofu, sweetener, and salt (if using) until smooth.
• In a microwave-safe bowl, microwave the chocolate chips for 1 minute, and stir. Continue heating in 30 second intervals until the chocolate is just melted and smooth, whisking vigorously after each interval. Do not overheat. Whisk in the vanilla.
• Scrape the chocolate and vanilla into your blender of food processor with the tofu. Blend until smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed.
• Scrape the filling into your cooled chocolate crust and even it out. Refrigerate the pie for at least 5 hours, until set. Optionally shave some dairy-free chocolate in curls over the pie before slicing and serving.

CHOCOLATE MOUSSE PIE (CAN BE MADE NON-DAIRY)

Steps:

• Melt chocolate in the top of a double boiler.
• Then, beat at high speed until smooth: the melted chocolate, margarine, eggs, and sugar.
• (at this point i place the mixture back on the double boiler and heat it because of the raw eggs, but i've heard that there is only a possibility of Salmonella with CRACKED eggs, otherwise there is no danger at all).
• In clean and dry mixer, whip non dairy whipping cream until soft peaks form according to package directions (it took me a quarter of the time that it said it would on the box).
• Put some of that whipped topping aside for the top of the pie.
• Gently combine the chocolate mixture with the whipped dessert and scoop into pie crust.
• Freeze for a bit (45 minutes?) to set the chocolate layer.
• Spread rest of whipped topping on top.
• For a softer consistency, like pudding, keep in fridge, or take out with time to defrost it before serving. for a richer denser consistency, keep in freezer till a few minutes before serving.
• YUM!

2-INGREDIENT DAIRY-FREE CHOCOLATE MOUSSE RECIPE

Steps:

• Break up or chop the chocolate and place it in a heatproof bowl. Set the bowl over a saucepan of barely simmering water and allow the chocolate to melt, stirring occasionally. Once the chocolate has melted, remove it from the heat and let cool until tepid.
• In the meantime, put the egg yolks in a large bowl. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, or in a large bowl, using a handheld mixer, whip the egg whites to very firm peaks, about 5 minutes.
• When the chocolate has cooled, pour it into the bowl with the egg yolks and whisk well. Using a rubber spatula, stir in about one-third of the egg whites to lighten the mixture. Carefully spoon another third of the egg whites on top of the chocolate mixture and gently fold them in (do not stir). Add the remaining whites, folding just until the egg whites are incorporated.
• Spoon the mixture into ten 4- or 5-oz. (120- or 150-ml) ramekins or small coffee cups. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight, until set.
• Serve the chocolate mousse cold, decorated with chocolate shavings, if desired.
