Made with creamy coconut milk, this vegan berry mousse cake sits atop a nutty chocolate crust for a delightfully cool bite that screams of spring.
This triple berry mousse cake with a chocolate crust is a vegan winner! I have been working on this dessert for a few weeks now and have made a few different versions. Originally, the chocolate layer was a lot thinner and there was more of the berry layer. I think this version is much better and provides a good balance of the chocolate and the berries.
This Triple Berry + Chocolate Vegan Slice is also gluten and refined sugar free and also paleo friendly.
