Vegan Chocolate Mouse (Mousse) - Recipe 21 - Délicieux!!

MMMmmm..
Ok, à gauche is what the original Disney patisserie mousse looks like.   Mine, a lil bit different.   I don't have a nifty way to make it look all frilly, and I didn't make a white chocolate triangle.. what I DID do, was add chocolate non pariels (like they have there) and I put whipped cream on top  (vegan whipped cream!).. omyum!


I'd orginally planned to videotape this veganization (ala V-Log) and I did, but my video camera decided to quit on me.  :(  Sad.  So instead, I'm going to make you all happy to see me by vlogging my eating of the mousse.. (you'll like that, right?  It'll be like you're sitting there and enjoying it with me!)
What I do NOT eat, goes to my parents house tomorrow for dinner.  This was a request by my sister so she'll be the one doing the honors.. and maybe I can even get Megs to eat some.  We'll see!

Regardless, this was super duper easy.  My initial thought was to make this with bananas and avocadoes... but my sister has an avocado fear, so right now I thought I'd give her a break (THIS TIME.  {wicked laugh})    Melt, add, blend.. that's all!  It would have taken alot more work had it been a full fat mousse.  So look, better for you and alot easier to make!  How can you go wrong!?   


So, I sit here - with the Mickey ears on I had during the vlog, waiting for another hour to pass so that I can show you how lovely it is to eat.  That and it's in my grandma's crystal - so that's going to make it taste even better!   So I'll take over the time (because it's going to elapse really nicely for you folks) and find something else to do, I suppose.


Are you ready for this?   Here it is, here I am eating this vegan Disney chocolate 'mouse'. 

Not you, Ratatouille.. you can calm down now.

Anyway, here is what you've been waiting for.




ME!

You wanted it, it's silly, it's boring and I abuse my cat-child by pushing her off the table (please don't call 241-cats.. she really is very spoiled), but here it is!:

(oh, here's a game!  count how many times I say "anyway"... that might make it less boring!)


Now that you've gotten through that, I'll hold off on posting til I've gotten my victims thoughts on the subject.

MONDAY NIGHT
So, my sister had her 'mousse'.   As I mentioned at the table, it's more 'puddingy' than moussey... basically because it lacks the egg white 'whippy' stuff that makes mousse the whipped up stuff it is, but it was still yummy.   She liked it, even though she ate it w/o rice whip (I dunno why it's awesome that way).   There was a moment in time when my dad said it was too 'light' to be mousse... and she said 'cuz it's probably milk chocolate... and I did then call my sister a moron, because DUH!!!
;)
Milk chocolate... this is a VEGAN dish. :P
Anyway, if you can't be Frank (or Sheri for that matter) with your family, who can you be Frank (or Sheri) with?

Anyhoo - another successful veganization under my skin; maybe I'll take the leftovers to girls night tomorrow.. I bet Elena would like that!



And that is that!
Where will we be going next?
Well, we've been to the Magic Kingdom (DoleWhip)
We've been to Animal Kingdom (Expedition Everest Drink)
We've now been to Epcot's France (Chocolate Mousse)
We have another park to go to!!  We're going to take a visit to the studios and MY favorite restaraunt...  are you excited?
You'll have to wait!

Check me back in a couple of days!

Be Our Guest. This time.. in France! (Well, the EPCOT version!)

Okay,
Considering half of my vacationly life has been spent in one Disney park or another, it only goes to say that I would have to throw more Disney in my veganizations than not, correct?
                                             Correct.
So to make Disney month at RoVL a sucess.. for our second veganization, we start hitting the side parks (and eateries) around Disney.  Considering we've already traveled to The Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom for our NYE veganization, this week, we're hitting EPCOT! Specifically World Showcase.  Even MORE Specifically France!   Not only that.. THIS WEEK the sister has mentioned the D-Word several times to me. (!!!<3!!!) that's right!  We're planning the new Tower Of Terror run at the studios in September.  This run WAS created for me, all!  Those funky Imagineers said "Oh ok, ok, it's time to create a run for our biggest fan, Ms Sheri."  (C'mon now, who do you know that would get anymore excited than me to possibly run into several villains along a dark running route? Not to mention I cannot stand the excitement of the wait now...  DUH).  I'd much rather run into my favorite villains than a one Mr. Augustus Kroll (yup, won't be doing that run again.) Ah, WDW, your princess is coming home again soon!  :)

Anywho, let's get back to this weeks veganization, shall we?

Take a walk with me through the yellowpages of Google, and find this stunning snippet of the France pavillion in EPCOT's World Showcase.

"The France Pavilion is a cultural area within Epcot theme park where Guests of all ages can experience the art, cuisine and the charm of France.
Be transported across the Atlantic and travel the streets of Paris and the provinces of France during an era known as La Belle Epoque, or "the beautiful time." Beautiful gardens, quaint shops and architecture full of character, along with a scaled-down replica of the Eiffel Tower, suggest an air of French life. 
Attraction: Take a stunning panoramic journey through France during the motion picture, Impressions de France. With its inspirational music and magnificent views of the French countryside, this film at the the comfortable, relaxing Palais du Cinema is a not to be missed.
Dining: Dine at delectable bakeries and two outstanding restaurants: Bistro de Paris and Les Chefs de France
Entertainment: Enjoy hilarious entertainment with Serveur Amusant. 
Shopping: Visit the marketplace and shops carrying fine French goods such as designer fragrances, soaps, cosmetics, wines, dinnerware and kitchen accessories." 

Ok,  
Tucked inside this little pavillion is something they've not mentioned above.. a cute little place called Boulangerie Patisserie.    It's a stop every time I've gone here.  They have the most TO DIE FOR Chocolate Mousse you ever put in your mouth.   I'm serious folks.  If you've had it, you know what I'm talking about.  It's just the right consistency, flavor, etc.   So, it's in my power to make this happen on over to the vegan world.. simply because.
WHY NOT IT'S YUM!?!
I bet Belle would eat it... ;)

We need a name.. we need a REALLY good name.  Chocolate Mousse doesn't cut it.   How about 'Vegan Chocolat Mouse'  Why not?  Why NOT I say.  It's Disney.  It's Do-able.

But let's ask a REAL 'little' chef for the numbers, shall we?

Okey Dokey artichokey.
So, since my sister requested this one, I'm making it for her.   I'll make it on Sunday and she'll suck it down on Monday.   She'll ask for more too. ;)
I thought I might make her reaal paranoid and make it with Avocado, but since I'm nice (since she's apparantly avocadophobic and I'm not sure how that is, since we're related and anything Avocado to me is like anything Disney... GEEEVE IT TOO MEE.) I'm not going to do that.  Instead, I'll find something else.  But one of these days, an avocado is going to creep up in something she eats and she'll have no idea!

Dessert - is ON THE MENU, and  I'm going to leave you with this message until we meet again.. please enjoy.
