Ingredients

For the strawberry mousse

  • 700 g Silken tofu
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 4 tbsp Maple Syrup
  • 4 tbsp Icing sugar optional - depending how sweet you want it
  • 50 g Freeze dried strawberries

For the coconut cream

  • 400 ml Can of Coconut milk - white fat on top only (stored in fridge for a few hours)
  • ½ tsp Vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp Maple Syrup

For serving

  • Fresh strawberries

Instructions

  • Drain the silken tofu and place it into a blender, or put it in a bowl and use a hand blender, and blend until smooth with no lumps
  • Whizz the freeze dried strawberries up in a NutriBullet or blender until they turn to a powder
  • Whisk the strawberry powder into the tofu along with the maple syrup and vanilla extract
  • Taste the mixture, and if you'd like it to be sweeter, add the icing sugar
  • Divide the mixture between ramekins or serving glasses then put in the fridge for 3 - 4 hours to set
  • Make the coconut cream by whisking the ingredients together with an electric hand whisk until smooth, then dollop it on top of the mousse
  • Slice up some fresh strawberries and place on top, or cut into hearts like I did for a cute effect!
  • Store leftovers in the fridge and eat within 2 days. You can also freeze the mousse on it's own in a freezer suitable container
