Vegan Snowy Mountain Recipe - Cooking Index
1/2 | Chocolate cake - see recipe | |
2 tablespoons | 30ml | Malibu* |
2 | Oranges - peeled and diced | |
1/2 cup | 118ml | Tofu |
3 tablespoons | 45ml | Rum** |
1/4 cup | 49g / 1.7oz | Sugar |
1/2 teaspoon | 2.5ml | Lemon juice |
1/2 cup | 46g / 1.6oz | Coconut - shredded |
For this recipe, you need 1/2 of the chocolate cake recipe, so freeze half or set aside for future use.
Roughly cut up the chocolate cake into good bite-sized pieces and place in a medium sized serving dish. Soak with the Malibu. Arrange the chopped oranges over the cake. Set aside.
In a food processor or blender, blend the tofu until smooth. Add the remaining ingredients and blend until well mixed. Spread over the top of the cake and oranges. Chill until ready to serve.
* I liked the coconut-pineapple taste that the Malibu provided, you could use orange juice in place if you desire.
** Use some rum extract instead of rum and reduce the amount. Or use a fruit juice that might combine well with coconut but that is clear, otherwise the topping will look a funny colour.
VARIATIONS: Use canned fruits, fruit salads or other fresh fruits of your choice. I find that naturally juicy fruits work the best.
Use a plain sponge cake instead of the chocolate cake.
Garnish with strawberries or kiwis before serving.
