Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Silken tofu
- 120 ml Fresh lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons Lemon zest
- 80 ml Maple syrup
- 200 ml Coconut cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Instructions
Begin by draining the silken tofu of any excess liquid and pat it gently with a paper towel to remove additional moisture.
In a small saucepan over low heat, whisk together the lemon juice, cornstarch, turmeric, and a pinch of salt. Stir continuously until the mixture begins to thicken, which will take about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a blender, combine the drained silken tofu, lemon zest, maple syrup, coconut cream, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Add the thickened lemon juice mixture from the saucepan to the blender. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy with no lumps remaining.
Taste the mousse and adjust the sweetness by adding more maple syrup or the tanginess by adding extra lemon juice, according to your preference.
Spoon the mousse evenly into serving glasses or bowls. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the mousse to set.
Before serving, garnish with additional lemon zest or thin slices of fresh lemon if desired.
Enjoy your refreshing vegan lemon mousse chilled as a delightful end to any meal!
