- 12 vegan puff pastry shells (2 packages, or enough for 12 shells)
- ½ cup raw cashews
- 1 cup filtered water
- ¾ cup vegan bittersweet chocolate chips
- 2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ½ cup sugar
- 8 Oreo cookies (chocolate or vanilla, chopped, divided)
- 2 tablespoon walnuts (chopped, for garnish)
Preheat the oven and bake the vegan puff pastry shells according to the package directions, about 20 minutes, until risen and golden. Set aside to cool. When cool enough to handle, cut out the centers with a small paring knife to create shells.
Blend the cashews with the water and strain into a small saucepan. Heat for about 5 minutes, until steam rises from the cashew cream, but don't let it boil. You want it just hot enough to melt the chocolate.
Place the chocolate chips, vanilla, and sugar in a bowl. Pour the hot cashew cream over it and mix well until all the chocolate has melted.
Cover the chocolate with cling wrap and place in the refrigerator for at least an hour to solidify into a mousse.
Remove the mousse from the refrigerator. Reserve a little of the chopped Oreos for topping and mix the rest into the mousse. Scoop into the cooled puff pastry shells. Top with the reserved Oreo bits and walnuts. Serve at room temperature.
- Allow additional time for package-directed pastry thawing and for the shells to cool completely. Pastry baking time and temperature depend on the package.
- For a soy-free version, choose suitable pastry shells, chocolate chips and sandwich cookies.
