Mango Mousse



ok, I've been trying to think how I could use tofu on a raw, vegan dessert and I found the way!

I wanted to call it a cheesecake but it had more the texture of a mousse, not foamy though but very creamy :)



crust


+ 1 cup of almonds/chestnuts/coconut flour (leftovers when I make coconut, almonds or chesnuts milk, you know the leftovers after you strain with a cheesecloth? you save that to make cookies or crust) and this is entirely optional
+1 cup of walnuts
+16 or so soaked and pitted dates

-Blend  the dates using a food processor or your blender
-Blend the walnuts
-Mix all the ingredients together
-Line a pan with parchment paper and press crust into the pan. Refrigerate

Filling


+1 mango es enough but the more the better so go ahead and use 2
+300 gr of soft tofu. I use sunrise which is no GMO
+2 to 3 tbsp of agar agar (vegan jelly). Mine looks like  this so I soak it and boil in some water until it's dissolved. If you have the powder one, perfect!
+6 tbsp of maple syrup
+half a lime or 3 to 4 tbsp fresh lime juice
+3 tbsp flax seed
+1/4 chia seeds
+1/4 soaked oatmeal (soak it with hot water or for a few hours and wash it)

-Place everything in the blender EXCEPT THE CHIA SEEDS and blend blend until creamy. Add lime juice or sugar depending on what you like
-Pour in a bowl and then add the chia seeds and stir to mix all together
-Pour over your crust and refrigerate overnight or 8 hours

Garnish


+ A bit of mango
+1  to 2 tbsp of coconut oil
+maple syrup or sugar (as much as you wish)

-Pure the mango with a fork
-Add maple syrup, check if it's sweet enough
-Add the coconut oil and mix
-Get your mousse out of the fridge and get creative to decorate. You could cover your entire mousse if you add more mango and coconut oil

Violá! It was delicious!
