Hazelnut Mousse
2 cups coconut milk and 1 1/4 cups almond milk
1 tsp. agar powder
2 tab. powdered grain coffee
pinch sea salt
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 1/2 tab. rice malt syrup- do not use lundberg rice syrup as it contains enzymes which liquify arrowroot and kuzu and don't allow proper jelling to take place. I use Mitoku and Sweet Cloud brands.
2 tab. hazelnut butter
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
grated rind of one lemon
2 tab arrowrrot powder
Place milks, salt and agar in a saucepan. Reserve 1/4 cup of almond milk.
Bring to a simmer and simmer 5-7 min. Add syrups, grain coffee and hazelnut butter. Use a whisk to make sure it all disolves.
add the arrowroot to the 1/4 cup milk, add to the pot and simmer until just thickened slightly. Add the vanilla and lemon peel. Now place half the hot mixture in a blender and blend for about 30 seconds. Repeat with 2nd batch. Pour into dessert cups and chill until set. ~elainie gagne

Vegan Cheesecake

Here's one too. I have not made it but I trust it will be good as it's from my favorite vegan restaurant.
Crust
1 1/2 cups flour
1 /2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp cinnamon
6 tab. olive oil
6 tab maple syrup
pinch sea salt

filling
2 pounds firm tofu
1/3 cup lite olive oil or walnut oil
1 1/2 cups maple syrup
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 tsp. lemon zest
2 tab vanilla extract
3 tab. agar flakes
1 cup water
2 tab arrow root
3/4 cup soymilk

Combine flour and dry ingredients in a bowl. Whisk oil and syrup together. Add to flour mixture. Press into an oiled 9inch springform pan. Bake at 350 for 15 min. Let cool.

Prepare filling.
Place tofu, oil, syrup, salt, lemon juice and zest in a food processor. Blend until very creamy. In a saucepan simmer agar and water together for 5 min until agar flakes are dissolved.
Dissolve arrowroot in the soymilk and pour into agar/water mixture. Simmer until thickened about a min. or so. Add to tofu mixture and process again until completely smooth. Pour into springform pan and chill until set 1 hour.
You can make a strawberry topping by combining strawberries, 2 pints or so and 2 tab of maple syrup, 2 cups water, 1 tab. lemon juice and 2 tab arrowroot. Simmer until thickened and let cool. Pour over cheesecake that has been released from the springform pan. ~elainie gagne

Date and Almond Rice Pudding

I got this from the Accidental Vegan cookbook. Its a great and easy way to use up leftover rice. I made it with brown basmati and it was wonderful--also made it with leftover sushi rice and it was good, not quite as heavenly. It really satisfies my sweet tooth without being unhealthy.

2 cups cooked brown rice
1/2 cup chopped pitte dates
1 cup rice milk (I used almond)
1/4 cup chopped almonds, with skins
2 tablespoons raw sugar or 1 tablespoon honey (I used compassionate honey)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla (I used more, since I like vanilla)
1/2 teaspoon rose water

Mix all the ingredients in a medium saucepan. Heat and stir.Note: I add a bit more almond milk when heating up leftovers.~mochamama



Quinoa Rice Pudding
well here's what I did the last time although this recipe has changed many many times. I am liking this version a lot.

2 cups water
1 cup quinoi
1 cinnamon stick (3" long or so)
2 strips of lemon zest (1/2 inch wide)
1/4 t. sea salt
4 dates
3 cups vanilla almond or other nut milk (homemade defintely works best)
3/4 cup raisins
1 tablespoon vanilla extract

1. combine water, salt, cinnamon stick, and lemon zest strips in a pot (you're going to make all the pudding in this pot so use the proper size), and simmer for 10 minutes to flavor the water. if your pot doesn't have a tightly sealing lid add a little more water to account for the steam you'll lose.

2. add quinoi to the pot; cook with lid on for 15 minutes, or until the water is absorbed.

3. while the quinoi is cooking blend nut milk, and dates in blender for a couple minutes or until your dates cant be seen in the milk anymore.

4. when the quinoi is done, add the milk to the pot, along with the raisins. bring to a simmer, and cook until thickened stirring often so you don't scorch the bottom. this takes about 20 minutes or so. turn off the flame and stir in the vanilla.

this gets much sweeter as it cools. as it cools in the frige, it might separate a little, but just stir it back together and it will stay that way. I've served it warm with a little maple syrup and toasted almond slices, but I like it best cold.

this also makes the best rice pudding! use the proper amount of water and cooking time for your type of rice, and add an extra cup of almond milk.~carina nicole



Caramel Bananas
4 ripe bananas, peeled and halved lengthwise
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
3 T unsalted butter
2 t boiling water

Preheat oven to 400. Into a shallow dish, place the bananas cut side up.

In a saucepan, combine the sugar and butter and cook over medium heat, stirring, until melted. Raise heat to high, add the boiling water and boil for 3 minutes. Pour the sauce over the bananas.

Bake for 15 minutes, or until golden and the caramel is bubbling. Serve warm.

I think a vegan interpretation of this would simply be to pour honey over halved bananas and bake for 15 minutes at 400 degrees. Maybe top it with cinnamon, or nutmeg, and serve with a tofutti/rice dream frozen dessert. Hope you find either of these useful!~oceangrl


Frozen Carob Bananas

melt unsweetened vegan carob- you have to add water and i added a teensy bit of oil to make it smooth- i melted it in a double boiler so it wouldn't scorch. chop a bunch of almonds really fine. then peel and halve bananas- make an assembly line with the bananas, then carob, then nuts on a plate- if you have sticks you could put bananas on stick or i just do it by hand- dip in carob, then roll in nuts- its kinda messy- then freeze in a tupperware until hard. these are the yummiest things i make. ~ kristin108


Pancakes
I make these pancakes all the time. They're very yummy. This recipe makes them pretty thin (I like em that way), but you could omit a little bit of soymilk if you like them thicker. Also, using pastry flour makes them a little more airy than bread flour (I use pastry).

1 C unbleached flour
1/2 C whole wheat flour
1/4 tsp. salt
1 T baking powder
1 T vegetable oil
1 3/4 C soymilk

Mix dry ingredients. Add soymilk and oil. Voila! ~ vegan momma

 



Vegan Belg Waffles

These are good and they stick to you - you're not hungry again in one hour.

Sift together:
1 1/4 c soy flour
1 T honey (or to taste)
2 t baking powder
1/2 t salt

Mix:
2 T oil
1 1/4 c soy or rice milk (more or less)

Make hole in center of dry ing. Pour in wet ing. Mix. The batter should be slightly lumpy. Pour into griddle. ~ chelle15



Ginger Apple Crisp for a Crowd


Vegnut asked for this recipe--here it is! It is from the Moosewood Cooks For a Crowd cookbook. Every year I make this for our community's annual vegetarian Thanksgiving dinner held the Thursday before Thanksgiving. This recipe serves 24. I have to make enough for 150 people, so I double this recipe and then make it three times!! I will post the original recipe and then tell you how I have modified it. Hope this formats right!
Ginger Apple Crisp
16 c apple slices (peeled or not, your choice)
1/2 c apple cider or juice
1/2 c maple syrup
1-1/2 c ginger preserves
TOSS ABOVE INGREDIENTS GENTLY UNTIL MIXED, PLACE IN AN UNOILED FOUR INCH DEEP HALF SIZE INSERT/BUFFET PAN
FOR TOPPING:
1c butter
1c honey
1-1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp ground ginger
2 c gingersnap cookie crumbs
1 qt rolled oats
MELT BUTTER AND HONEY, STIR IN SPICES, THEN ADD GINGERSNAP COOKIE CRUMBS AND OATS, STIR TO COAT EVENLY. SPREAD OAT MIXTURE ON TOP OF APPLES AND TAMP DOWN FIRMLY. BAKE 1 HOUR TO 1-1/2 HOURS (at 325 or so)TIL APPLES ARE TENDER AND TOPPING IS CRISP.
This is really out of this world. Everyone who tries this loves it, and can't figure out what is in it. I am famous around town for this, people call me the apple lady, I am not kidding! Now, for the modifications: The key to this recipe is really the topping. I have made it successfully by just placing the topping on apple slices, leaving out the ginger preserves, apple juice, and maple syrup. Those things are really just substitutes for sugar anyway. You could use whatever you choose to sweeten the apples, including nothing--my tastebuds don't miss the sugar, besides, there is still honey in the topping, and apples are pretty sweet! I found ginger preserves at our local international grocery store. (They are Robertson's brand, made in the United Kingdom) you might find them at the regular store, or you could order them online from a few places. One year I just chopped up some crystallized ginger. Have fun making the recipe your own! Oh, and about the pan size: I use pans from our local healthy food store's kitchen. The half size insert/buffet pan looks about 16 inches square; but, like I said, I double that three times and make three full size pans. I would suggest cutting up enough apples to fill whatever size pan you choose, then cut the topping recipe in half or even quarters. You will not have any topping "left over" because you will eat it right up! good luck, you should really try this, it is sooo good! ~chamonix


Apple Crisp Recipe

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter a shallow 1 quart baking dish.

Peel, core and slice 6 large apples (or equivalant depending on your apples) into 1/4-inch-thick wedges and put into a large bowl. Toss the apples with 1 tablespoon cornstarch and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Put the apples into the prepared baking dish. Pour 1/2 cup unsweetened apple juice over the apples then dot them with 1 tablespoon unsalted butter.

In a medium bowl, mix together 1 cup rolled oats, 1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt.

In a small saucepan, melt 1/2 cup unsalted butter, stir 1/4 cup brown rice syrup and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract into the melted butter. Pour the liquid mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until thoroughly blended. Spoon the batter evenly over the top of the apples.

Bake for about 50 minutes. The juices from the apples should be bubbling. If the top begins to brown before the apples are done, remove the dish from the oven and cover it with aluminum foil. Pierce the foil with a fork to let the steam escape. Return the crisp to the oven and continue baking until the apples are fully cooked withouth losing their shape. Serve warm or chilled.Recipe from "The Naturally Sweet Baker" by Carrie Davis Makes 6 servings.~Heatherflower
