Vegan And Gluten-Free Chocolate Mousse

 

Whilst we are still in lockdown, here is another amazing vegan dessert for you to try when bored! It is quick, healthy and so good!

What you will need:

150g of chocolate. You can choose whether you want to use dark, milk (make sure it is made with plant-based milk) or maybe even white chocolate, but our favourite is dark as it doesn't turn the mousse too sweet.

½ tbsp of caster sugar.

300g of silken tofu.

150g of raspberries. You can use any berries you want but we think that raspberries give the mousse some nice acidity!

Cinnamon.

Shredded coconut.

Steps:

Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pan of boiling water.

Blend the tofu with the sugar in a blender.

Mix in the melted chocolate and blend again until smooth.

Pour the mousse into four small cups, add in some raspberries.

Chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours.

10 minutes before serving, remove from the fridge to soften.

If you want - add on toppings like cinnamon or shredded coconut.

Bon appetit!

Whilst we all have to stay home, why not test out a homemade skin treatment?

This oatmeal face scrub is sure to leave you feeling fresh and super relaxed!

You will only need 4 ingredients:

⅓ cup of coconut oil - great for hydrating

1 cup of coconut palm sugar - an exfoliator which won't dry your skin

1 tsp of natural honey - for nourishing

1 tbsp of organic matcha powder - helps increase skin cell growth

All you have to do now is add all of the ingredients into a bowl, mix well and scrub away! You can use this two to three times a week for a clear complexion.

New Home And Beauty Picks!

Hey readers! Lockdown is starting to lift slowly and we might now be able to enjoy going out for a quick meal or drink at our favourite outdoor restaurants, but the sometimes too cold British weather is still keeping most of us inside for the time being. That is why we at Madia & Matilda have picked out a couple of home items for you to check out from our new range of items as well as some beauty products for you to slowly start getting ready for a “back to normal” summer!

Jade Facial Roller

This beautiful facial roller is used to reduce the puffiness we all get after a good night's sleep. If you're planning on stepping out into the soon opening bars and restaurants, better not do it with a swollen face!

Coconut Shell Bowl

Whilst you're still spending time home, why not buy a couple of these cute bowls for your living room? Not only are they great for snacks, they also look amazing in Instagram pictures showing off your healthy breakfast!

Bamboo Toothbrushes

As always, Madia & Matilda is very concerned about being environmentally friendly. That is why we suggest switching out your plastic toothbrush for a bamboo one instead! Your smile will be as white as ever - but maybe a bit brighter due to knowing that this small change has made a difference for the better.

Wooden Massage Roller

Perfect for a relaxing night at home when the weather is too cold to go for a drink at an outdoor bar. Important note - it is also a better alternative to a regular plastic roller.
