This rich and creamy Strawberry Tofu Mousse is made with silken tofu and strawberries. A healthy treat, vegan and gluten free. The mouse has to chill for at least 1 hour so plan accordingly. Updated 6/14/2024.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 16 oz package of organic silken tofu
  • 12 ounces (340 grams) organic frozen strawberries (about 2 1/3 cups)*
  • 1/41/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup cacao butter or unrefined coconut oil (56 grams)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
  • optional toppings: chocolate shavings, shredded coconut, chopped almonds, cacao nibs, coconut whipped cream

Instructions

  1. Heat the strawberries and 1/4 cup maple syrup in a medium saucepan. Cook on medium until it begins to simmer. Turn down to medium/low and simmer for 10 minutes or until the strawberries are tender. If you use fresh strawberries, it will take less time.
  2. Add the cacao butter or coconut oil to the hot strawberries and mix to melt.
  3. Put the tofu, strawberry/maple/butter mixture, vanilla and lemon into a blender and blend until smooth. Taste, add more maple syrup, if desired, and blend again.
  4. Pour into individual custard cups or 1 medium size bowl. Refrigerate for least 1 hour or overnight.
  5. To serve, mix to get a creamy texture if desired.
  6. Serve alone or with your favorite topping.

Notes

Since the strawberries are different sizes it’s more accurate to weigh them. (12 ounces = 340 grams)
