Cinnamon Marshmallow Mousse and an Adelaide Dessert Class
I'm in love... with my latest creation - Cinnamon Marshmallow Mousse. It's fluffy, springy, soft and downright delicious. I guess I'm on a bit of a kick, since I posted a Dark Chocolate Mousse only days ago. This one is inspired by the Cinnamon Chaga Mousse that I made a few months ago.
I'll be teaching a raw dessert class in Adelaide on Sunday March 6th! I'm so excited about this. It will be my second class in Australia, as I will also be teaching in Byron Bay. Here's the info:
Cinnamon Marshmallow Mousse
1 cup irish moss gel*
3/4 cup cashews
6 tablespoons water
6 drops stevia
5 tablespoons coconut nectar or maple syrup
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon lecithin powder
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Seeds of 1/2 vanilla bean
1/8 teaspoon fresh ground nutmeg
Pinch of himalayan salt
1/3 cup + 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
Blend all but the coconut oil, until smooth and creamy in a high speed blender.
Add the oil and blend to incorporate.
Spoon into ramekins or dessert bowls and chill in the fridge until set (minimum of a few hours).
Garnish with your favorite goodies!

Looks amazing! Wish I could attend that class! Have fun, girly!
I have to try making my Irish Moss gel again, the last batch still smelled like the sea :( Bummer--had to pitch it.<br />I had gotten your Lava Cake recipe from the free download and made them for my Mom's birthday last night. They were spectacular. I posted about them and referred people to your blog.:)<br />Peace & Raw Health,<br />Elizabeth<br />www.rawlivingandlearning.blogspot.com
Ooh, yummers! I'm bookmarking this so I hope to make it soon. Have fun with your classes. Wish I could go too.
nothing steals my heart like a raw mousse! this looks delicious!
Your raw dessert class is in my hometown, on my birthday, and I'm in another state until the following weekend. I hope you enjoy your time in Adelaide though. It's a beautiful little city with the most wonderful markets.
Wish I could attend!!
Awesome that you're preparing for this class in such style. And this mousse is cacao-free too, so I guess I'll have to try it! I adore irish moss--may be my new favorite food.<br />love<br />Ela
Thank you for a vegan recipe!
OMG, I just licked the spatula from this cinnamon marhmallow mousse and it's SO YUMMY! I was just searching your archives looking for something to make with my extra gel and you popped up with this! Thank you! My daughter is going to love this.
You are going to LOVE Australia!! I would give up my home on Maui in a second if I could move there! <br />Your dessert looks beautiful as always!! <br />Aloha!
Nevermind hahaha! I see you've already been to OZ! Have the best time ever and enjoy Hawaii as well!
Oooh, I can't wait to try this. I made your chocolate mousse last week. The rich flavor and the airy, fluffy texture made for a truly decadent dessert.
Have a wonderful time in Australia! I can't wait to see what new flavour combinations and recipes your travel inspires.<br /><br />xo
This mousse recipe looks divine, and makes a nice change from chocolate.<br />Looking forward to making it, then eating it :)<br /><br />Have a great trip!
Hi, <br />seeing here that you are teaching a raw dessert class seems like you're promoting a raw vegan diet despite its ill effects on your own health. i appreciate your blog and understand that you are doing what works for you, but it just seems odd. i understand not wanting to have to subscribe to eating "labels," but teaching a raw dessert class seems like you are falsely subscribing to one.i've never commented before on your site, but felt compelled to on this. i wish you all the best.
Holy Cow! - is all I have the strength to say, since my drooling is weighing me down.
One day, I swear, I will get over my TERROR of irish moss. I've had some in my pantry for ages!
Stunning!
Come to Sydney!!! We can't purchase Irsh Moss in Australia, do you have any suggestions for substitutes? :)
THAT. LOOKS. Y U M M I E!!! Rawgasm!!! :P
Just found your blog. It looks lovely. Can't wait to follow you and learn more.
I want! I want! I want!<br /><br />YUM!! This is looks so beautiful!
Ohmigosh you mean you are in Australia? Are you coming to Sydney? Would love to attend one of your classes!! Heather, I hope you don't mind but I linked to one of your posts, I just wrote an essay-length post on animal products and incorporating them back into my diet again for health reasons. Your bravery and honesty was completely inspiring, thank you so much.
that looks insanely delicious!
Your creativity never fails to inspire me. For that reason, I'm passing on the One Lovely Blog Award to you! Check out my post <a href="http://www.adashofcompassion.com/2011/03/blogger-awards.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>.
This looks so good. I need to get some irish moss! Wow!<br />Blessings, Debra<br /><a href="http://www.veganfamilystyle.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Raw Vegan Diet</a>
So sad I missed this!
Girl, this looks amazing, but what I want to know is, how are you having time and the space to get so creative whilst living out of a backpack? Go you! xxx
Wow! This is the first one of your recipes I have tried, AND my first time working w/Irish moss. Just the gel smells like the ocean, but when it is in a recipe, it no longer smells or tastes like that. I have used it also in a mayo recipe, a salad dressing, some smoothies, and some almond mylk. I love this stuff, and this mousse recipe will be made frequently. It's great, and I'm so glad I found your site.
Hi there, I know this is an old post, but I am just wondering if I can substitute the lecithin powder for liquid sunflower lecithin as its the only one I can find. (I refuse to use soy lecithin). <br /><br />Thanks :)<br />Angie
Sure, try it! :)
Hey there, what can I do if I do not access to any Irish Moss gel? Can anything else be used as a sunstitude? Can I just skip that part? Thank you :)
The irish moss gel is a mandatory part of the recipe - it males up the bulk of it. I haven't experimented to see what else would work in it's place but you could play and just use more cashews and coconut oil and see what you come up with! :)
