Now let's get cooking! First thing we're gonna do is take our chia seeds and our dates and soak both of them in our almond milk. You can use any other plant-based milk that you like. Just divide it evenly and we're gonna set this aside for five minutes or so. We're basically making a chia egg and we're soaking our dates so they're nice and soft. If your dates are super hard you might need to soak them for much longer. So it completely depends on the date you use. Here I have melted my dark chocolate. I'm gonna add ground linseeds, vanilla extract, baking powder and pinch of salt. I love to use Himalayan salt as it adds a lot of vitamins in there and minerals. You then want to mix everything together very nice and gently and this process is pretty quick. You can just use your fork or spoon, don't need anything fancy. Then place your soaked dates with milk in a food processor or a blender and blitz until it is completely smooth. You want to make sure that you have no big bits of your dates there so they're all nice and pureed, just like this. You're then gonna add this mixture into your dry ingredients and then just scoop everything out. Then you're gonna add your chia egg. So your chia have bloomed already so just add your milk with chia seeds right in there and then we're gonna mix everything together until it's nice and smooth so just make sure you incorporate all your ingredients and the mixture will be quite nice and runny very very delicious super healthy chocolatey and oh my god it's gonna taste incredible I promise you so mix everything together you can do everything in one bowl you can use a spatula as well to make sure you get through the ends and mix all of the ingredients together. You want to make sure that everything is mixed thoroughly and there's nothing on the side or the bottom. Divide the mixture between two rings and pour the batter inside and spread it out with your spoon so it's nice and even. We're gonna bake these. Once they're done they're gonna look like this. We're gonna leave them to completely cool down. Once they cool down you will see it'll be much easier to take it out of the mold and you want to cool them down even more and I just want to show you how these delicious sponges look. They're so moist and soft. Now we're going to make our meringue. Into your stand mixer add your chickpea juice and then start whisking it on low to high speed with whisk attachment. This might take a while just be patient just keep going until it starts to become nice and foamy. Go ahead add a pinch of lemon juice, your sugar and vanilla extract and keep mixing until it becomes nice and fluffy just like so. You're then going to set this aside. Into a bowl add your smooth peanut butter with milk, sugar and mix everything together. I do like to use an electrical whisk to make it nice and smooth and then add a little bit of your coconut cream. Mix everything one more time add a bit of milk and vanilla extract and mix everything one more time you should get nice smooth mixture just like so and now we're going to add half of our whipped meringue from our chickpeas inside mix everything together you do want to be quite gentle because it deflates pretty quickly so just keep going go ahead and add more liquid sweetener of your choice if you wish to make it sweeter mix everything together and set this aside now to prepare your baking ring wrap it in foil go around the sides and make sure it's placed on a tray that you can add into your freezer then add your first layer of your sponge cake be careful they're super gentle so they might break a little bit just be careful but it's okay won't be seen in a final cake then go ahead and add half of your peanut butter mousse smudge it out nice and even over here i've got my melted dark chocolate go ahead add your vanilla extract and sweetener and just mix everything together until you get nice smooth chocolate add everything into your coconut cream and mix everything together one more time until it's nice and smooth then you can incorporate your meringue together with your melted chocolate so add one spoon at a time and gently mix everything together go ahead and fold everything together until you get beautiful chocolate mousse pour that over your peanut butter mousse add half and then place it in a freezer once that layer is set you're gonna add your second sponge cake if it breaks a little bit don't worry just make it nice and even and then gently add your peanut butter mousse on top and then go ahead and add your final layer of your chocolate mousse on top. Smooth it all out and place it back in a freezer to set fully. After several hours your mousse cake will be completely frozen. You want to take it out of your mold and use a heat gun or a hair dryer to go around the sides to get your cake out of the mold and use a sharp knife to push it out the cake will come out nice and easy and it looks completely beautiful already you can decorate it how you like it over here i've melted some dark chocolate with coconut milk and i'm gonna put that chocolate ganache on top it's just so delicious and creamy you want to smooth it out all the way around the cake or decorate it in any style that like add some more chopped dark chocolate and i'm just gonna cut the cake inside to show you how it looks and it's so stunning just look at these layers you've got chocolate sponge peanut butter mousse chocolate mousse sponge mousse and more chocolate ganache it's absolutely amazing so yummy and delicious i love to eat it cold and it's just perfect there you have it your vegan peanut butter chocolate mousse cake.
