Two layer vegan blueberry mousse brownies that are vegan, grain-free, and refined sugar-free with almonds, dark chocolate, and cashew blueberry cream.

Blueberry Mousse Brownies by Flora & Vino

Guys, I’m planning an outdoor climbing adventure.

Want to come?

Now, before you go all Alex Honnold from Free Solo on me, let me tell you it’s not going to be that precarious.

I might have mentioned before how much I enjoy indoor climbing.

There’s something about hoisting myself from colorful hold to hold, vertically pressed against the incline that gets my heart thumping and my mind engaged.

But doing it all outdoors is a whole new world.

Or at least, I’m sure it is.

I haven’t made it that far yet, but I have all of the gear!

I’ve got my teal harness and my form fitting climbing shoes and my carabiner (which is *way* too fun to say, by the way) all ready for the climb.

Now I’m just waiting for the summer heat to die down before hitting the rock.

Until then, the only thing that I really want to climb right now are the layers on these Blueberry Mousse Brownies.

They’re made vegan, gluten-free, and refined-sugar-free with decadent dark chocolate and a creamy cashew blueberry mousse.

OK, so let’s backtrack a bit.

I won’t be doing the climbing alone, obviously.

The truth is that I met someone.

What better way to date during a pandemic than to learn a new sport?

I asked him to teach me everything he knows so I can be as proficient with my climbing as I am at dirtying the dishes recipe testing.

Luckily, these Blueberry Mousse Brownies didn’t require much recipe testing because they were delicious on the first test!

So, what’s better than a brownie?

A brownie smothered in blueberry cream, obviously.

The inspiration for these Blueberry Mousse Brownies came from my favorite platform, Instagram!

There’s some crazy stuff going on on the ‘Gram lately.

Have you seen all of the reels and new story features and all of that stuff?

I want to keep up with it but for now I’ll just share another layered brownie with  you, mmkay?

Blueberry Mousse Brownies process shot

For this recipe, we actually start from the top down, creating the blueberry mousse in advance.

Here’s what you need for the blueberry mousse layer: 

  • fresh or frozen blueberries
  • cashews, soaked overnight
  • pure maple syrup
  • lemon juice
  • coconut oil
  • hot water

That’s it!

Add the soaked cashews, blueberries, maple syrup, lemon juice, and coconut oil to a blender and process until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.

If using frozen blueberries, thaw them in advance to achieve the correct consistency.

Then add hot water in small spoonfuls if the blades get stuck in the goodness. 

Process until you have a smooth and creamy purple paste, then transfer the mixture to the refrigerator to set up for at least 2 hours or overnight.

I found it easier to just make the blueberry mousse in advance the day before making the brownies!

With the blueberry mousse layer out of the way, now we can focus on the brownie base.

Here’s what you need to make the Brownie Base Layer: 

  • flax eggs
  • unrefined coconut sugar 
  • pure maple syrup 
  • cashew butter
  • baking powder
  • unsweetened cocoa powder
  • Hu Kitchen Gems
  • almond flour

That’s it!

For the brownie base, I used the same recipe from my Vegan Cashew Butter Buckeye Brownies post, with the addition of extra chocolate chunks, because, YOLO?

The brownies are made grain-free with an almond flour base naturally sweetened with pure maple syrup and unrefined coconut sugar.

Cashew butter acts as an oil replacement to make them extra fudge-y and gooey.

I used Hu Kitchen Baking Gems in this recipe to add some chocolate chunks to the brownies.

They’re the perfect paleo and refined-sugar-free chocolate addition to these brownies!

Bake the brownies for about 20 minutes, then allow them to cool completely.

The hardest part about these is NOT eating these brownies before adding the blueberry mousse layer!

After the brownies are completely cooled, add the blueberry mousse layer on top.

Remove the firmed up blueberry mousse from the refrigerator and spread with a knife in an even layer across the baked brownies.

It should be creamy and spreadable.

Repeat until there is no more blueberry mousse left, then I highly recommend licking the bowl clean with a spatula.

At this point, I like to transfer my baking dish to the freezer for 20-30 minutes to harden.

This will make the Blueberry Mousse Brownies easier to slice when it’s time to serve.

Slice them into tiny squares and nom, nom, nom.

These Blueberry Mousse Brownies are perfect for a next level brownie to bake, layer, and share.

They’re moist, decadent, chocolate-y, and berry-licious.

If you don’t have blueberries, try using raspberries or blackberries for a variation.

I sliced my brownies into a small squares because these brownies are rich, friends, so serve accordingly!

Brownies will keep in the freezer, so make a pan and stash them for whenever you’re craving a square of something sweet.

If you don’t have cashew butter, try subbing peanut butter or your favorite nut butter for a different flavor profile.

Enjoy!

Description

Two layer vegan blueberry mousse brownies that are vegan, grain-free, and refined sugar-free with almonds, dark chocolate, and cashew blueberry cream.


Ingredients

Brownie Layer: 

  • 2 flax eggs (2 TBSP ground flaxseed + 5 TBSP filtered water)
  • 1/2 cup unrefined coconut sugar 
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup 
  • 1/2 cup cashew butter
  • 3/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ cup Hu Kitchen Gems
  • 1 cup almond flour

Blueberry Mousse Layer:

  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1 cup cashews, soaked overnight
  • ¼ cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 TBSP lemon juice
  • 1 TBSP coconut oil, melted 
  • hot water, as needed, for thinning

Instructions

  1. First, make your blueberry mousse layer in advance. Add the soaked cashews, blueberries, maple syrup, lemon juice, and coconut oil to a blender and process until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. Add hot water in 1 TBSP increments if the blades get stuck. Process until you have a smooth creamy consistency, then transfer the mixture to the refrigerator to set up for 2 hours or overnight.
  2. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line an 8×8 baking dish with parchment paper. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, mix up your flax eggs by adding ground flaxseed and filtered water and whisking with a fork to combine. Allow to sit for 5 minutes.
  4. Next, to the same bowl, add in the coconut sugar, maple syrup, and cashew butter and mix well to combine.
  5. Sift in the baking powder, unsweetened cacao powder, and almond flour and mix well until there are no clumps.
  6. Add brownie batter to the baking dish and spread into an even layer with a spatula.
  7. Bake for 17-22 minutes, until the brownies start to pull from the edges. NOTE: Brownies will look under-done when first removed from the oven. This is OK and desirable. Do not over-bake brownies!
  8. When the brownies are done baking, remove from the oven and allow to cool completely. Spread the blueberry mousse on top of the cool brownies in an even layer.
  9. Transfer brownie pan to the freezer for 20-30 minutes to set. Remove pan from the freezer and slice into squares and serve immediately. 
  10. Store leftover Blueberry Mousse Brownies in the fridge for up to one week and freeze for long term storage.

#ad// {NEW!} When everything else feels hard, this #ad// {NEW!} When everything else feels hard, this Thai Carrot Sweet Potato Soup feels easy. 🥕🍠🥣 It also tastes amazing and every warm spoonful is like a comforting embrace. This Thai Carrot Sweet Potato Soup is made on the stovetop with root vegetables and yellow curry paste blended with a spoonful of nut butter. I used a standing blender but you can also use an immersion blender to achieve the creamiest consistency.

I love topping my soup with cilantro, @edenfoods Tamari Roasted Almonds, and @edenfoods Hot Pepper Sesame Oil. 

@edenfoods Tamari Roasted Almonds are infrared roasted organic almonds with complimentary organic tamari soy sauce. They’re a delicious snack packed with protein and fiber. You can enjoy them on their own, added to trail mix, on salads and bowls, or…on soup! 
 
@edenfoods Hot Pepper Sesame Oil is a delicious unrefined expeller pressed toasted sesame oil that is infused with hot red chili peppers. Friends, this stuff is HOT! Just a *drop* adds a big kick to your dressings, marinades, stir-fries, etc. If you have a wild side, add a drop or two to your soup bowl for a little extra heat! 

Feel free to add your favorites, like roasted chickpeas, green onion, and sesame seeds.
