How to Make Dairy-Free Strawberry Mousse Step-by-Step

Step 1: Gather six 6-ounce ramekins, or dessert glasses, and set aside. Add apple juice, agave nectar, cornstarch and salt to medium saucepan and whisk together.

Whisking the apple juice, agave nectar, cornstarch and sea salt

Simmer over medium heat and whisk often. Reduce heat and simmer, while constantly whisking, until mixture has thickened, about 30 seconds. Mixture will become very thick. Remove pan from the heat and cool for 10 minutes.

Step 2: Combine tofu, thickened apple juice mixture and chopped strawberries in a high-powered blender (affiliate link) or food processor (affiliate link)—I used my Vitamix (affiliate link).

Low Fat Strawberry Mousse Recipe Notes

You'll definitely want to use silken, or soft, tofu to make this mousse.

What is Silken Tofu? 

Silken tofu (affiliate link) is undrained and unpressed tofu. It is usually sold in shelf-stable aseptic containers. Because of this, you may find silken tofu (affiliate link) in another part of your grocery store, apart from the refrigerated section which usually stores regular tofu.

When you cut into the package, the tofu will be soft, smooth and feel a bit fragile. Unlike regular tofu, you don’t press this one. Just drain what little water there is in the package and pat it dry.

Silken tofu (affiliate link) helps provide the creamy texture of this mousse and is a suitable replacement for dairy in many vegan/vegetarian recipes. Many dairy-free salad dressings, sauces and desserts will sometimes use puréed silken tofu (affiliate link) to help with the thickening and getting to the desired level of creaminess.
