RECIPES FOR MOFO 12 (find story there)

JAIL BREAK PARFAIT
espresso mocha cupcake, with double fudge mousse, and coconut creme

Espresso Cupcake can be easily made xgfx by exchanging flour and adding xanthan gum

1 C Rice milk
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
3/4  C agave
1/4 C canola oil
1 tsp non- alcoholic vanilla
1 C unbleached flour
1/3 C dark chocolate cocoa powder
2 1/5 T instant espresso
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder

Preheat oven to 350 and line a jumbo muffin tin with paper liners.
Whisk the rice milk with the vinegar in the bowl of your mixer. Add agave, oil, extract and espresso powder and beat until frothy.
In another bowl sift together flour, cocoa, baking soda and baking powder. Add to wet ingredients. Make sure you scrape down the sides. Pour into liners. Sometimes this only makes about 5 Cupcakes but hey they are big so it's really okay.
Bake for about 30 minutes, switching racks halfway through baking time.
Let cool on rack. After ten minutes remove cupcakes from tin and let cool completely.

Double Fudge Mousse

1 box of silken tofu
1.5 T of  can of coconut oil hardened
1/4 C cocoa powder
2 T agave
1/2 packet of stevia
1/2 C vegan chocolate chips melted (either in a double boiler as I do or you can nuke them)

Place first two ingredients in food processor and mix until smooth. Add next three ingredients and process. Lastly, add melted chocolate chips and blend well, scraping down sides of processor in between. Set aside.

Whipped Coconut Creme

1 14 oz. can of very cold coconut creme
1 T agave or stevia

tip: I usually freeze my hand beater whisks for about ten minutes before making this.
Scoop out coconut creme into large mixing bowl. Whip to soft peaks and fold in sweeteners.

 tip: Easy way to sterelize mason or canning jars. Preheat oven to 225 degrees.Remove lids and rims from jars. Spread out jars and lids and rims on cookie sheet and heat for 10 minutes. Remove promptly.
Enjoy!

Cut cupcake horizontally in half and then mush into mason jar. Follow with a layer of mousse, and then a layer of coconut creme. Continue to layer, making the top layer coconut creme.

This was the fancy ass jacked up cousin of a devil dog. Enjoy!

MoFo 12 Some Desserts You Can Mail

Guess what?! Today I actually snail mailed these packages to today's virtual Potluck. That's how magical these surprises are. Thank you Annie @An Unrefined Vegan and Angela @ Canned Time.

I like lists. I don't always like what is on lists. Still I like lists. I used to be neater and more organized. Today I went to interview someone and I brought crossed out crumpled up notes that looked like they came from the Una bomber school of penmanship. My maniacal   handwriting would have embarrassed me in years past. I guess in my dotage I'm becoming a little more forgiving of myself. I also had faith that if I brought dessert to the interview it would make up for my messy magic marker questions.

Come to think of It I think Ted Kaczynski wrote a lot of his letters on a Smith Corona. A couple were written on brown paper bags. I read that the Smith Corona sold for about $25,000 on E-Bay. The Smith Corona was shipped in the paper bags. This whole purchase defies logic, imagine paying for shipping insurance for the una bomber's typewriter.

I am not usually a stressed out person. For the life of me I couldn't figure out what the heck I wanted to make for dessert for today's blog. I felt the clock ticking and the pressure building up.
I decided to share with you a compassionate vegan gift box. I made it for my friend Cathy when she got her new ice creme maker. It is perfect for a little hostess gift, is easy to send through the mail, and will keep you from doing time.

I finally decided to whip up this parfait  today. It is layered with agave sweetened chocolate espresso cupcake, double fudge mousse, and coconut creme. I would not recommend sending this glass parfait through the mail.
