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
Directions
Step 1
Begin by draining the silken tofu of any excess liquid and pat it gently with a paper towel to remove additional moisture.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
In a blender, combine the drained silken tofu, lemon zest, maple syrup, coconut cream, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Step 4
Add the thickened lemon juice mixture from the saucepan to the blender. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy with no lumps remaining.
Step 5
Taste the mousse and adjust the sweetness by adding more maple syrup or the tanginess by adding extra lemon juice, according to your preference.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Before serving, garnish with additional lemon zest or thin slices of fresh lemon if desired.
Step 8
Enjoy your refreshing vegan lemon mousse chilled as a delightful end to any meal!
