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…
we have had the BEST food fights in our home with a can of whipped cream! oh the memories.
I actually was and still am a coolwhip fan and just eat it frozen with a spoon.
on really stressful days!
hahaha
love your mousse. It sounds yummy
YUM! I would probably sub avocado and cashews for the tofu, as I am always a little suspicious of soy (it’s estrogenic).
BODA lose weight
I made this for dessert tonight and added dark chocolate dreams because…I have a deep and obsessive love for everything that unites chocolate and peanuts together. I’m considering therapy. The outcome? More tofu needs to miraculously make its way into our fridge. Pronto.
My mom used to make whipped cream “faces” for my brother and I when we were little – fresh! Not the fake canned stuff. A couple dollops for eyes, one for the nose, a swoosh for the mouth, big loopy swirls for hair, and some extra around the edge for good measure :), which we’d then proceed to spoon *COUGHlickCOUGH* off the plate. Most often the faces resembled clowns because they required the most whipped cream ;).
Yummy! I love anything resembling whipped cream. When my brother and I were little, we just used to eat it in a bowl by itself.
There is nothing like whipped cream on chocolate mousse or pudding, and I love it on hot chocolate!
Those fries look amazing Katie. I want them!!!!
Not a big fan of whipped cream…it is a texture thing for me. I equate it to disintegrating styrofoam on your tongue. Or something.
mousse? hello, LOVE it! Nothin’ better than fluffy vegan goodness! yummm!!! xoxo 🙂 TGIF and enjoy your weekend sweetie!!!!!!!!!
That vanilla cream mousse looks amazing. I’ve never had vanilla mouse. I will have to try it soon 🙂 Thanks for sharing the recipe!
