Vegan Mexican Chocolate Black Forest Pot de Crème

February 22, 2020 by Joseph Sciascia Leave a Comment

I enjoy pleasing people with good food and many people find comfort in delicious chocolate desserts, so I thought I would really make that someone special in my household very happy with this luscious vegan Mexican chocolate black forest pot de crème really wasn’t sure about the coconut milk, I’ve seen it in so many vegan desserts, ice creams and puddings and really didn’t want the coconut to overpower the flavor in the chocolate and to my surprise you cannot tell it’s there.  The coconut milks adds that richness and fat that you would expect in traditional pot de crème recipes that use cream and eggs.  Have you had a cup of Mexican hot chocolate? Well then you are in for a treat because the spices used in that are in this pot de crème and really reminiscent of that cup of warm goodness; the spices really gives the chocolate character and depth of flavor.  When this luscious pot de crème is topped with the homemade cherry sauce get ready for a journey through the Black Forest because there will be a party in your mouth.

Move over Mexican hot chocolate, there is a new dessert in town…time for a fiesta of flavors
I bet you are craving more vegan sweets, so after making this delicious recipe, you can make more with these:
Vegan Chocolate Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookies
Pumpkin Pecan Tassies
Peanut Butter, Chocolate & Coconut Truffles
Vegan Blueberry Cinnamon Streusel Coffee Cake Muffins
Almost too pretty to eat, now I said Almost, I’m not a unitize
I think this is the best dessert I’ve every made and knowing that it’s vegan, only only feel a little guilty eating this…
A spoonful of lusciousness in every bite, so rich and creamy
OMG the cherry sauce is so good, I’m adding a couple of spoonfuls more to mine!
