This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Sewanee chapter.

BOO! It’s officially fall time and you know what that means: scary movies, flannels, campfires, and of course, delicious treats. Here are some yummy, vegan, diy fall treats!

 

    Chocolate Mousse Graveyard

    What you’ll need:

  •     100 g / 3.5 oz dark chocolate
  •     1 cup non-dairy whipped cream
  •     1 tbsp cocoa powder
  •     1 tbsp icing sugar
  •     ½ tsp vanilla extract
  •     Gravestone and “dirt”
  •     8 oreo cookies
  •     4 white cookies
  •    20 g / 0.5 oz chocolate, melted

  What to do:

  1. Chop 100 g chocolate finely and transfer to a bowl. Bring the cream to a boil and then pour oven the chocolate. Leave for a minute and then stir until the chocolate is melted.
  2. Add cocoa, icing sugar and vanilla extract and let cool completely in the fridge. Whip with an electric mixer to a fluffy mousse and divide the mousse in 4 glasses, about 3/4 up.
  3. Remove the white cream filling on the Oreos and crush the cookies in a plastic bags to crumbles. Melt 20 g chocolate. Dust some icing sugar on the white cookies and shake it off so only a thin layer remains.
  4. Use the melted chocolate to write “RIP” on the white cookies, pour the crushed Oreos in a thick layer on top of the mousse, stick the white cookies half way down and serve.

 

   

What you’ll need:

Nondairy white chocolate, melted + 1 Tbsp. non-hydrogenated shortening

  • 10 Vegan No-No’s
  • 4 Oreos chopped up

  2. Coat with the melted white chocolate.
  3. Gently press in the remainder of the candy and cookies, and coat with sprinkles.
  4. Freeze for 15-20 minutes or until set.
