Here’s a dessert I’ve been LOVING lately: vegan mango pineapple mousse! What is the secret to making this mousse vegan? Silken tofu!! Some of you might remember the savory 10-minute tofu appetizer that I made several weeks ago. Well, I wanted to highlight the versatility of silken tofu by making a sweet treat out of it. The mousse is delicious and incredibly light and goes great with any toppings!
I’m used thawed frozen fruit for this recipe because that’s what I had on hand. However, this recipe works with fresh fruits, too! I usually thaw the fruits very quickly by submerging them in warm (but not boiling hot) water for about 5 minutes.

I recently discovered silken tofu used in a chocolate mousse on youtube, and searched google to see if I could find a mango alternative. Healthy ingredient list, for those that can I substituted the frozen fruit with fresh refrigerated fruit!

hi! can i use this method to make the mousse layer for a mango mousse cake?
Lisa Lin says
Not on it’s own like this because it is too runny. Mousse cakes usually use gelatin to make the layer set.
