Vegan S'mores

While many associate desserts with loads of sugar, Torres does not feel the need to incorporate artificial ingredients into his desserts. Some of the desserts available at Green House Market are also vegan, including the vanilla tapioca pudding topped with fruit, wild rice crispies and coconut foam, as well as the s’mores-inspired chocolate mousse. Everything he makes is from scratch, ensuring the perfect texture and taste.

Torres explained that his goal when creating a dessert item is that the consumer is able to taste all of the flavor combinations present, not just the sweetness. Don’t worry, though, the homemade variety of cookies are still available for purchase.
