Raspberry Chocolate Torte by The Fat Foodie

The other day I made dairy-free chocolate truffles and I was so impressed with the truffle mixture that fills them that I decided to try and use it in another recipe. As I was eating the dairy-free chocolate truffles it occurred to me that the truffle mixture is very similar to a ganache, a rich, creamy chocolate filling mixture that is traditionally used to fill chocolate shells. I knew that the ideal counterpart to the smooth, silky chocolate ganache would be a biscuit base, so I proceeded to make a raspberry chocolate torte with it.

Dairy-Free Chocolate Truffles by The Fat Foodie

As much as I enjoy biscuits and cake, sometimes the only thing that will satiate my sweet tooth is a hit of pure chocolate.

Chocolate Mousse by The Fat Foodie

I’ve fancied making homemade chocolate mousse for a long time, but the thought of making an egg based version has never appealed to me. Many chocolate mousse recipes call for raw or barely cooked eggs to be used to provide silkiness to the mousse, but I can’t stomach the idea of eating raw eggs. However, I’ve heard that vegans frequently use tofu to create a smooth chocolate mousse, so when I was in the supermarket I picked up a pack of plain tofu so I could give it a go.
