Ingredients

Mousse: 

• 1 Azteque wheel
• 1 Viva wheel 
• 1 ½ cups raw cashews, soaked
• 1 can coconut milk 
• ⅓ cup maple syrup
• 2 tbsp. coconut oil
• Pinch of sea salt, optional 
• Dash of vanilla, optional
• Optional: oat milk – add a few tablespoons if consistency is too thick
• Toppings: berries & chocolate drizzle

Chocolate Ganache:

• 1 cup vegan chocolate chips 
• ⅓ cup coconut cream
• 1 tbsp. maple syrup
• ½ tsp. vanilla
• Pinch of sea salt

Steps

1. Preparing the cashews: Soak in hot water for 30 minutes before using. Rinse well before mixing with other ingredients.
2. In a blender, mix together the cashews, coconut milk, maple syrup, coconut oil, vanilla and sea salt until smooth.
3. Split the mousse in half. Add the Viva cubes to one half and the Azteque cubes to the other half. Blend again until smooth.
4. Making the ganache: Heat the coconut cream in a small pot until it’s simmering. Pour over the chocolate chips and let sit for a couple of minutes. Mix in the maple syrup, vanilla and sea salt. Stir until smooth.
5. Divide the Viva mousse between 4-6 glasses. Pour the chocolate ganache on top of the Viva layer. Finally, pour the Azteque mousse on top of the chocolate ganache layer. 
6. Cover and place in the fridge to set for 2-3 hours, or until firm.
7. Top with fresh berries and a drizzle of the chocolate ganache before serving.
