While looking for the perfect fall dessert for dinner with friends, I came across Pumpkin Mousse. At first I couldn’t imagine what the airy Hokkaido dessert must taste like. Also, the recipe wasn’t vegan, but my diet is mostly vegan. So what to do? Close your eyes and go?
First, I thought about how the whole thing could be done without animals. I quickly thought of silken tofu, which is usually used for creamy desserts. Well, now was the point. First, the pumpkin had to be roasted so soft that its flesh could be mashed well. The base of the pumpkin mousse was already created. The rest of the preparation was just as easy. Add the silken tofu to the blender and press the button again: the dessert was ready. Almost I wanted more texture and layers. That’s right: whip the vegan cream until stiff and pour it over the mousse. I prepared everything before serving, only to turn on the stove and toast some nuts and seeds in the pan before dessert. Now the whole thing looked like a nice and especially delicious dessert. Perfect!
