Remember 5-Minute Chocolate Mousse?
It now has a baby sister.
And just as decadent is the paler sister of 5-Minute Chocolate Mousse.
This stuff is a-mazing!
Seriously, it’s like eating an entire bowl of whipped cream! And although I’ve never had Greek Yogurt, I’m thinking that Vanilla Cream Mousse would make for a good vegan Greek yogurt stand-in. (Has anyone ever had vegan Greek yogurt? Do they even make vegan Greek yogurt?)
Vanilla Cream Mousse
(A.k.a. “whipped cream in a bowl” or “Vegan Greek Yogurt”)
(Makes 1 generous serving)
- 190grams morinu silken-firm tofu (a little over 1/2 a package)
- up to 1/3ish cup liquid, or a bit more or less, depending on how thick you want it. The first time you make it, start off with less; you can always add more (I use 20g of Whole Foods’ unsweetened ricemilk and 85g water)
- optional: a few drops of vanilla extract (I skip this because my ricemilk has a vanilla flavor)
- sweetener (sugar, stevia, agave, whatever) to taste (or omit for a Vegan Greek Yogurt result)
- Optional: If you want true “yogurt” you can use Meg’s probiotic trick.
Put all the ingredients in your blending contraption (I use the Magic Bullet) and give it a whirl. Then take a whipped-cream bath in the luscious bowl of vanilla goodness. (I like to put the bowl in the freezer for 20-30 minutes prior to eating so it’s super-cold, but not long enough for it to get icy.)

Good on its own, the mousse is also insanely delicious in the following ways:
1. Mixed into hot cereal (or poured over cold cereal instead of milk)
2. With fruit, like Pom!Or blend fruit in, or throw in Raw S’mores Fudge!!
3. As a side dish with Butter(nut) Me Up squash fries
So even if you don’t do soy or dairy, you don’t have to be left out on the whipped-cream fun. And oh, what fun it is! When we were little, my mom would squirt whipped cream onto our outstretched fingers and we’d call it “worms.” No idea why we found that appetizing…
I hate to say this…but I hate whipped cream. I do, I always ask for my desserts with no whipped or get it on the side for someone else to eat. Sometimes my husband wants his own dessert because I don’t want the shipped cream anywhere near it. I know, I’m weird.
I’ve actually made this with your agar pudding base! It’s really good, even on its own. If you don’t thin it as much it is like vanilla pudding. My belly is growling….
P.S. sorry I’m commenting twice, but I wanted to let you know that I’m doing a haircare giveaway for someone that leaves a comment about whether I should dye my hair lighter or darker again. I hope you can stop by and check it out!

hmmm I would say usually no whipped cream, but when I have anything key-lime a little on it makes it SO yummy!
sssso good girl! Awesome snack! This is one of my favorite things to eat ever. I haven’t made an all vanilla flavor yet though, so I cant wait to try this out. I usually just make a PB one. It does sound like it would be amazing with squash fries. All my favorite foods in one meal. Perfect! Thanks so much for this awesome recipe. I love all the variations that you have to! I kinda just like eating whipped cream plain..haha. But on top of those oatmeal cookie crepes would be delicious..Have a great day!
Mmmm…yet another amazing creation from Katie’s kitchen! I could totally get down with eating a bowl of “whipped cream”, hehe! I used to squirt it directly from the container into my mouth, swallow, and repeat like 20 times. — sometimes I still do when I buy Soyatoo!! 😉
I’ve never been too excited about whipped cream, but my brothers used to eat bowls of cool whip like it was ice cream. I thought they were nuts. 🙂
My favorite thing to put whipped cream on was sliced kiwi. Tart tang of the kiwi and soothing creamy of the whipped cream. DELISH!
Can you make this with something besides the tofu, do you think? I’m trying to stay away from soy. Thanks!
does straight out of the can count?! te he heeee.
love you muffin!
