This decadent and easy recipe is inspired by our recent travels to Portugal and I have decided to make it in celebration of my birthday. During our time in Porto we were told that nearly every restaurant will have Bolo de Bolacha on the menu. This ubiquitous Portuguese cake is usually made with condensed milk, cream and eggs but I have managed to veganize it using coconut cream.

Thin almond layer, topped with creamy cherry mousse, covered in chocolate and crispy caramelized almonds.
This mini cherry mousse torte is delicious, light and beautiful.
I can’t say that this recipe is quick, but it’s easy, plus, you can do the work in parts – you could bake the almond layer a day in advance and cook the cherries a day ahead, too. The next day you can finish the mousse and assemble the cakes. To additionally ease your work, you can make one big cake instead of mini cakes, it’s up to you!
Bottom line is that these cakes deserve every minute spent in the kitchen, simply because they are heaven!
Enjoy, everyone!
I love smoothies, and they’re something I enjoy in plentiful amounts whilst holidaying in sunny countries. Drinking them under the sun, whilst laying on the sands of the beach is instantly relaxing, and always leaves me in a state of bliss. So, as I dreamt of warmer climates today, I knew I needed to make a smoothie that would help make my vision seem more real. And, for the ultimate tropical feel, I decided to make one using mango and banana.
