Quick Vegan Dessert

This week, I was invited by Vibe Israel to a farewell cocktail party for a delegation of vegan bloggers from abroad.

\n

If you're not familiar with the organization, it's a non-profit aimed at strengthening the "Israel" brand globally. In other words, showing the world different facets of Israel beyond what's reflected in the news.

\n

To this end, they invited three American vegan bloggers and one Canadian to witness (and mostly eat) the vegan abundance we have here. Needless to say, these guys were over the moon, posting content across social media at a dizzying pace.

\n

Before meeting them, I decided I had to give them a little something.

\n

That something was a batch of pralines I made with fillings like tahini, espresso chocolate, and marzipan. Great fun!

\n

All weekend long, I was tempering chocolate, concocting various fillings for the pralines, and my kitchen looked like a chocolate factory had exploded in it. (Luckily, this was right before the Passover cleaning!)

\n

Wow, so much work just to produce one praline. But it was worth it 🙂

Following this, the family requested a quick vegan dessert for the Seder—something low in calories, low in fat, and preferably something that wouldn't destroy the kitchen.

\n

Tofu and rice cakes as a dessert – No, I haven't gone crazy

\n

Yes, this is a quick vegan dessert that contains rice cakes, which give it volume.

\n

Tofu replaces cream, giving the mousse a wonderful, indulgent texture along with great nutritional values like protein, calcium, and very little fat.

\n

The best part? It took me exactly 5 minutes to make (and 3 minutes to devour).

\n

It has an indulgent espresso chocolate flavor, you don't taste the tofu at all, and the white chocolate provides a particularly sweet finish.

\n

I don't know about you, but I plan on making this dessert all year round, not just on Passover.

\n

\n

Nutritional values provided by clinical dietitian and fitness instructor Noam Bachar:

\n

Each cup of mousse contains 180 kcal, 15g carbs, 5g protein, 7.5g fat.

\n

If you skip the white chocolate, you save 40 kcal.
