i was on a quest for vegan white chocolat to make white choc macadamia nut cookies & couldnt find any in stores in nyc so i had to order 3 bags of a brand called king david off amazon hahaah! do recommend though
I have never thought of this way of making white chocolate. Vegan white chocolate in the stores are expensive and have a weird fake taste, just use cocoa butter instead. Genius!
I made the Totgiving Casserole and brought it to a potluck on Saturday. OMG let.me.tell.you. it was such a big hit! They want me to make it for our next potluck (hahaha) and some want the recipe. Thanks so much for caring to share your recipes and not being selfish. EVERY one of your recipes I make are always crowd/family pleasers. I pray you have continued success.
I didn’t even realize that the cake was technically a cake and not a casserole 😂 you said casserole so I wasn’t gonna question you girl ok If you’re a bird I’m a bird and if that cakes a casserole I’m a casserole
Lauren you are a real inspiration. You make being vegan seem fun, simple and exciting. Because of you I've been vegan for almost a year now. THANK YOU FOR BEING YOU
Totally. In fact I was thinking as I was putting away the leftovers that with the addition of mushrooms, the sauce would taste like cream of mushroom soup - a staple in old fashioned comfort food casseroles!
I made the totsgiving casserole last night for our dinner (it being the first cool Fall day that required a fire in the fireplace and some warming autumn-type food). It was absolutely delicious. My boyfriend loved it. I modified it a tad - didn't have any sage so used marjoram, and I added a drizzle of fresh lemon juice just before putting on the tots, since I felt it needed a bright note. That was perfect. I bet this would be good with Brussels sprouts.
I was just getting over your last video two ways to make grilled peaches, and now these unique delicious looking dishes, thank goodness I can go back to these videos! Thank you Miss Lauren!!
You’re a goddess!! Seriously- you’ve made cooking so accessible to me during the time I’ve transitioned to a vegan diet. Just inspiring me to cook in if itself is a feat!! Thanks so much for all the effort that you put into this.
Iceland (the frozen food supermarket) has hash brown fries that would work really well on this, I think the shape would be easier than our traditional hash browns!
Ooooh, I'm not only gonna make these casseroles for my NON VEGAN family Thanksgiving, I'm also going to try using that white chocolate coconut cream base to make truffles!! 😉😋
Well I have made the dessert twice now and it is a BIG HIT with my friends and especially ME! Yum yum outrageous! Way heavenly and over the top, "Next level" for sure! Thank you !
Arcturian Sweetie did you have r an issue with the mousse turning out grainy? Mine actually ended up looking like curdled milk once I added the white chocolate mixture
Nope have made it twice now and delish each time, actually has become my all time favourite dessert. When I added the white cacao mix it whipped in well with the coconut cream. Perhaps the Vegan Queen Lauren may know why yours curdled , you did put it in the freezer for a half hour first ?
Never too early to start menu planning for U.S. Thanksgiving 2018!! Love these so much! So this means I get 2 months to recipe test them and eat them myself! :)
Okay, I made the tots casserole tonight and it is SERIOUSLY as amazing as it looks! So warm and comforting, it took a lot not to eat the whole thing. 🤤😍
Made the totsgiving casserole for dinner and covered with Green Giant cauliflower Veggie Tots vs tater tots. Holy moley, it was sooo good. Even my teenagers loved it! I added 2 extra links of sausage for my hungry teens, didn’t affect recipe IMO. Thanks for another awesome recipe! 😍
Ok these both look freaking great! I haven't had anything white chocolate since going vegan almost 3 years ago so I really want to make this! The tot casserole I bet would be so good with mashed potatoes on top too like a shepherd's pie. Another phenomenal video!
I love everything you make and can't wait to try these. However, much as I love your recipes I have to admit that my husband and I get such a kick out of watching you eat your creations...so much enjoyment lol. Keep it up, you're changing the way people eat. ❤️
for all of you complaining about the iNaCcEsSiBLe iNgReDiEnTs, if you can leave a comment on this video that means you have access to the internet which means you have access to google. walmart has cacao butter AND soy milk powder. and amazon has just about everything too. stop saying things are "inaccessible" just because they've never been on your radar before when shopping. take a step back and use middle school research skills to google things. 🤦🏻♀️ LOVE YOUR VIDEOS LAUREN ❤️
Claire but if you don't have vegan white chocolate then just use dark chocolate, it's not that difficult of an alternative to come up with on your own. people were jumping down lauren's throat and complaining about the ingredients being "inaccessible". if she ever makes a recipe and i don't have the exact ingredients i just look around to find something similar that i have. everybody loves to make veganism more difficult than it needs to be, lauren doesn't have time to go through every single comment and suggest a personal alternative for each person. i was simply suggesting for people to think for themselves and not complain right off the bat.
piarate king then if you don't have access to vegan white chocolate just use dark chocolate. idk why everyone is freaking out, nobody HAS to make this white chocolate thing EXACTLY how lauren did it 😂
YAAAAS I saw these on my insta today, and I couldn't find the recipe on my phone lol, login to my PC and youtube, and it's in my recommended from you! How did I miss this during Canadian Thanksgiving!?! aaaah. Maybe for Christmas ;) Thanks Lauren as always!
Are those casserole dishes non-stick? If we just use glass, should we oil/spray ours? Or I'm wondering if the cake didn't stick because it was chilled so long. I'm so excited to try the dessert one! I bought cocoa butter a while back planning to make vegan white chocolate and never did it. Now I have an actual recipe to use it in!
well these are those staub enamaled cast iron which are non-stick to a degree I believe, but it also doesn't matter I don't think that much because you're serving it out of the dish and it will lift off enough to serve + there's oil in the cake batter. AND with the moisture that gets infused into the cake from the mousse layer.
I need to make this not for Thanksgiving though cause we don't have that here but it looks soo good!! I will use a premade white chocolate and melt that cause it's nice.
I was introduced to Hot for Food last year as I was looking for vegan thanksgiving recipes. These casseroles look amazing!! I’ll be trying them both. Cranberries couple really well with lemon. I’m wondering how adding lemon extract to the cake batter would impact the flavor.
YUMMM!!!!!! I was planning on making the vegan roast that you made like 2 years ago (that I've been making ever since) but didn't know what to make for dessert...... Hum helllloooo white chocolate cranberry casserole!! Will definitely try it out this weekend!!!
The savory casserole looks a helluva lot easier to make than your super duper mega Thanksgiving roast from last year (which I made twice for two Thanksgivings - friggin' delish!!!). But I might take the easier route this year! Lol Or make the layers in advance and simply assemble and bake the day of.
sarahceekay33 my Walmart is pretty lacking I don't think they would have this kind of stuff. Idk where you're from but in the part of Canada I live in Walmart doesn't even stock basic vegan items so it's tough 😬
for some reason my mousse separated when I added the white chocolate mixture to the coconut whipped cream. It was all grainy and liquid started to seap out. I'm not sure what happened or where i went wrong?
In 10, 20 years we'll look back and be amazed at how Lauren changed vegan cooking forever. A Julia Child of modern millenial cooking! Geniuuuuuuuuuus!
Anna Jochnick couldn’t have said it better!!
I'm already amazed 😄 💖
*faint* WHITE CHOCOLATE IS MY FAVOURITE CHOCOLATE! Both casseroles look amazing!
Look who's saying this.. omg, you're so amazing, Mary!!! 😘
Mine too, Mary!! I haven't had any white chocolate since going plant based almost 4 years ago. I bought cocoa butter so I can make some. 😋😋😋
i was on a quest for vegan white chocolat to make white choc macadamia nut cookies & couldnt find any in stores in nyc so i had to order 3 bags of a brand called king david off amazon hahaah! do recommend though
I have never thought of this way of making white chocolate. Vegan white chocolate in the stores are expensive and have a weird fake taste, just use cocoa butter instead. Genius!
I LMAO when I saw the cocoa butter. I was scratching my head like cacao butter..?? I've always put that on my skin! Never thought to eat it
I'm thot for food
Anon Chick me
bahaa
Same
Anon Chick LMAO OMG
I made the Totgiving Casserole and brought it to a potluck on Saturday. OMG let.me.tell.you. it was such a big hit! They want me to make it for our next potluck (hahaha) and some want the recipe.

created2worshipGOD I’m making it for a Friendsgiving tomorrow, hopefully it’s a big hit like yours(:
I didn’t even realize that the cake was technically a cake and not a casserole 😂 you said casserole so I wasn’t gonna question you girl ok
If you’re a bird I’m a bird and if that cakes a casserole I’m a casserole
hahaaa
Best comment I’ve ever seen 😂😂
gabby zink omg ty 💕
Lol😂😂
Keep the Thanksgiving recipes coming 💖
Lauren you are a real inspiration. You make being vegan seem fun, simple and exciting. Because of you I've been vegan for almost a year now. THANK YOU FOR BEING YOU
awww thank you so much! And for supporting the channel xo
I'm not ashamed to say that I actually gasped out loud when you cut into the tater tot casserole, even though my dog looked at me like I was crazy.
lol
Who else heard 'cow butter' and nearly freaked out???!!! lolol😂😂😂
Mushrooms would of been amazing it that tot casserole!
I was thinking the same thing
Totally. In fact I was thinking as I was putting away the leftovers that with the addition of mushrooms, the sauce would taste like cream of mushroom soup - a staple in old fashioned comfort food casseroles!

You had me at tots.
You’re a goddess!! Seriously- you’ve made cooking so accessible to me during the time I’ve transitioned to a vegan diet. Just inspiring me to cook in if itself is a feat!! Thanks so much for all the effort that you put into this.
That savory one looks amazing! Never seen tater tots in the UK but gonna try it with hash browns ! Xxx
I bet it would be great with potato waffles on top too! Then some of the sauce might bubble up through the little holes....mmmm....
Tater tots are basically just like croquettes but I’m sure that hash brows would work as well
I think that sounds better! I think it’d have a better texture. 😋
Iceland (the frozen food supermarket) has hash brown fries that would work really well on this, I think the shape would be easier than our traditional hash browns!
What is in the tots?
You have really out done your self with these recipes ... can't wait to make them over the weekend
Ooooh, I'm not only gonna make these casseroles for my NON VEGAN family Thanksgiving, I'm also going to try using that white chocolate coconut cream base to make truffles!! 😉😋
Well I have made the dessert twice now and it is a BIG HIT with my friends and especially ME! Yum yum outrageous! Way heavenly and over the top, "Next level" for sure! Thank you !

Arcturian Sweetie yes I let it chill for 30 min before mixing in. Glad you had good luck!
Omg these look so amazing! Love how creative all your recipes are!
Never too early to start menu planning for U.S. Thanksgiving 2018!! Love these so much! So this means I get 2 months to recipe test them and eat them myself! :)
I had the same thought.
YESSS! :)
Jordan Waddell
lol!! yeah I wouldn't share maybe after I'm full
Okay, I made the tots casserole tonight and it is SERIOUSLY as amazing as it looks! So warm and comforting, it took a lot not to eat the whole thing. 🤤😍
So beautiful. I love white chocolate and to see a vegan version of a white chocolate mousse is so great
I made the totsgiving today for Thanksgiving. It was so good. Thank you! It was a big hit.
OMG!!! I have no other words! Lauren, you are a GENIOUS!!!
Made the totsgiving casserole for dinner and covered with Green Giant cauliflower Veggie Tots vs tater tots. Holy moley, it was sooo good. Even my teenagers loved it! I added 2 extra links of sausage for my hungry teens, didn’t affect recipe IMO. Thanks for another awesome recipe! 😍
well that's a cool product I didn't know existed!!!
Glad I get to enjoy these on Canadian and American thanksgiving 🤤
I don't know how you stay so slim! Looks amazing!
The Cranberry dessert will be part of my Christmas gathering this year! Looks amazing!
Hope you enjoy it!
Even though I celebrate my thanksgiving next month! It’s never too late to make this recipes ahead of time and eat it!
Maroxa haha true!
Dessert first!😍 I was already excited for thanksgiving but now I’m even more excited!!! Ah!! So many vegan recipes to shock the fam this year 😉
Ok these both look freaking great! I haven't had anything white chocolate since going vegan almost 3 years ago so I really want to make this! The tot casserole I bet would be so good with mashed potatoes on top too like a shepherd's pie. Another phenomenal video!
You're my favorite person to watch on youtube. I love your ideas. Thank you for helping us survive on the greener side of the fence. :D
I love everything you make and can't wait to try these. However, much as I love your recipes I have to admit that my husband and I get such a kick out of watching you eat your creations...so much enjoyment lol. Keep it up, you're changing the way people eat. ❤️
my mouth is watering you brilliant chef
These both look delish!! I grew up eating tator tot hotdish all the time!!
Literally 5 second in to the video and I'm gonna cry it looks so good!!! I'm comin to Canada!!!
First dish I liked but called for too many ingredients I don’t have but 2nd dish was nice and simple I do want to try that one!!
for all of you complaining about the iNaCcEsSiBLe iNgReDiEnTs, if you can leave a comment on this video that means you have access to the internet which means you have access to google. walmart has cacao butter AND soy milk powder. and amazon has just about everything too. stop saying things are "inaccessible" just because they've never been on your radar before when shopping. take a step back and use middle school research skills to google things. 🤦🏻♀️ LOVE YOUR VIDEOS LAUREN ❤️
aahaha this.
Preach girl🙌🏾. Real Canadian superstore has nearly everything you could ever need.
not everyone lives in north america though, alot of countries have limited ingredients and most countries dont have amazon

I think ,I’m going to try to make the broccoli stuffed shells, as one of my Thanks Giving casserole dishes.
Omg that white chocolate casserole 😍😍😭😭😍😍
That thanksgiving casserole seems like the perfect Christmas morning breakfast to me 😍
Looking delicious!!!!!when I saw the celery and onion...I thought mmmm might taste like the old stuffing!
That dessert casserole looks so damn good! I might make it for Christmas.
This is genius!!! I love all the close ups!!! 😋😋😋😋
So I made the white chocolate cranberry dessert for thanksgiving at my Omni family (we are a family of 4-soon 5 vegans) and everyone loved it!
YAAAY!
Your recipes are literally to die for!!! Been watching since your old 1st apartment 😉
Well I know what I'm making for my Thanksgiving. They both look amazing!!!
i made the totsgiving one and it was so good!! thanks so much Lauren
YAAY!
both of those look amazing! I cannot wait to make them. I also love your reaction to how good the food it. haha
Both look fantastic!
Totally making these for thanksgiving! Delicious!
That tot casserole looks awesome!
Lauren, your videos NEVER fail to look so amazing, I will have just eaten, and gotten hungry again. I can’t watch when I’m hungry 😋 😂.
Oh my good the desert looks so freaking amazing and tasty 😍
YAAAAS I saw these on my insta today, and I couldn't find the recipe on my phone lol, login to my PC and youtube, and it's in my recommended from you! How did I miss this during Canadian Thanksgiving!?! aaaah. Maybe for Christmas ;) Thanks Lauren as always!

I think the tot casserole is called hotdish in the States (in the Midwest anyway). It looks amazing 🤩🤩🤩🤩❤
Gonna surprise my family with these recipe on Thanksgiving
Nice, these look so good! Can you do a video on easy go to thanksgiving dishes in the future? Simple ingredients?
the totsgiving is pretty simple
I am for sure making that tot casserole. So genius!
Cannot wait to meet you next week in Ottawa! Like, gonna fangirl so hard.
YAAY!
You’re coming to Ottawa next week? How have I missed this?!
She's doing a cooking thing at Algonquin on Wednesday and a signing at Rideau Chapters on Thursday!
Oh wow, are there more details somewhere or was it posted in an insta story? Do you know what time Thursday at Rideau?
It's not celebrated in my country but I'll make an excuse this year. 😍😋
@Maroxa Always... She IS the best!!! 👍🏼😍
I need to make this not for Thanksgiving though cause we don't have that here but it looks soo good!! I will use a premade white chocolate and melt that cause it's nice.
Taking this to a Midwest Thanksgiving
That totsgiving casserole 😍😍😍 oh my god
*paused* Why have I never thought to mix the batter IN the pan that I'd be baking it in??? Genius Lauren, love it! Ok, resuming...
I was introduced to Hot for Food last year as I was looking for vegan thanksgiving recipes. These casseroles look amazing!! I’ll be trying them both. Cranberries couple really well with lemon. I’m wondering how adding lemon extract to the cake batter would impact the flavor.
yea add it. Its like my lemon cake variation from the cook book
YUMMM!!!!!! I was planning on making the vegan roast that you made like 2 years ago (that I've been making ever since) but didn't know what to make for dessert...... Hum helllloooo white chocolate cranberry casserole!! Will definitely try it out this weekend!!!
Omg. I'm literally salivating.
Looks like its Thanksgiving in Texas for me too this weekend. So much yum
white chocolate cake....yum
These look amazing!
The savory casserole looks a helluva lot easier to make than your super duper mega Thanksgiving roast from last year (which I made twice for two Thanksgivings - friggin' delish!!!). But I might take the easier route this year! Lol
Or make the layers in advance and simply assemble and bake the day of.
Whoa! These look AMAZING!
🤤🤤🤤 it looks so good!!!!
Yes
Oh my god I’m making that totsgiving immediately
Lauren does it again!!!!!!!!
The boys would love the tot one
Def making that casserole 🔥
For people who are wondering if there’s a substitute for Soy milk powder she has it on the blog 😊😊😊
This looks amazing. I might not hold my horses and wait for November to make it though :)
Making both. THAANKS Lauren!
I wanna make that dessert but where does one find soy milk powder and cocoa butter? Would like bulk barn have that kind of thing I have no idea 😅
Elizabeth Carr use google. walmart has them.
YUP! bulk barn!
sarahceekay33 my Walmart is pretty lacking I don't think they would have this kind of stuff. Idk where you're from but in the part of Canada I live in Walmart doesn't even stock basic vegan items so it's tough 😬
hot for food sweet I know where I'm going this weekend!
Local health food store or whole food store, Amazon, bulk barn
Looks so good I rwally wish my fam didnt hate coconut or i would be making this ASAP
These both look amazingggg
FREAKING GENIUS!
they're very good!
Do you have any recommended substitutions for ppl on a low plastic diet?
Had the tater casserole this evening and it was awesome!
OMFG that savory casserole tho
for some reason my mousse separated when I added the white chocolate mixture to the coconut whipped cream. It was all grainy and liquid started to seap out. I'm not sure what happened or where i went wrong?
That white chocolate mouse... omg.
Those look so gooooood 🤤🤤🤤
love the cute tops you always wear. and love you
xo
I tried to look into the cutlery because wow gorgeous. But the website says product not found. 😩
