Yes, It’s Vegan! The Fluffiest Mousse Recipes
Mousse is one of the world’s most popular desserts, mostly because it’s quick! Light and airy, you can have lemon or orange mousse, or of course mousse au chocolat, one of the most popular flavours.
Common flavours for fruit mousses are raspberry, lemon or passionfruit. Chocolate mousses can be dark, vegan milk or white chocolate.
Keep mousse dessert away from pets, due to citrus, coffee or chocolate.
Unless you have a food waste bin (made into biogas), it’s best to just bin citrus and rhubarb peels, as acids could harm compost creatures.
If using tinned fruits, rinse/remove lids (or pop ring-pulls over holes) then step on the can to pinch the inner rims together, to avoid wildlife getting trapped at recycling points.
Aquafaba strawberry mousse (Full of Plants)
The dessert is named after the French word for ‘foam’ and in vegan recipes, the whipped egg whites is usually replaced by light whipped cream and/or aquafaba (Latin for ‘bean water’, this is the whipped up brine water from canned chickpeas, which turns into vegan meringue to make a mousse light and airy).
2-ingredient vegan chocolate mousse
Want simple? Here it is! This 2-ingredient vegan chocolate mousse (PlantYou) is a sweet method of pouring hot coffee or tea onto dark chocolate, then whip it up. There’s a bit of science going on here (you’ll need a bowl of iced water). But with 2 ingredients, it’s worth the effort!
Silken tofu chocolate mousse (Full of Plants) is a great beginner recipe to use tofu. As this one uses silken tofu, but does not taste of it! This uses dark chocolate and cocoa powder, which combined with real vanilla, means these are the tastes you’ll discover!
Vegan chocolate hazelnut mousse (Full of Plants) only needs a few easy-to-find ingredients including cocoa butter and roasted hazelnut butter.
Decadent vegan chocolate mousse cake!
This chocolate mousse cake (School Night Vegan) is simple to make, in that you need neither tofu or aquafaba to create it. The sponge is topped with a fluffy chocolate mousse, which is topped with a dark chocolate ganache.
All bar one of the ingredients is easy to find. The only one you may have to search for is the vegan whipping cream. Coconut Collab and Elmlea both sell good double creams that would be ideal. Or make your own.
