Preparation
Step 1
Mousse:
1.Combine tofu, sugar, strawberries, and lemon juice in a food processor and blend until smooth. Pour into individual cups and chill before serving.
Strawberry Sauce:
1.Combine strawberries and sugar in medium saucepan and heat over medium heat. Allow strawberries to boil and reduce for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
2.Remove from heat and strain through a colander. Allow strawberries to drip liquid, then gently push them with a rubber spatula into bottom of colander to release more syrup. Refrigerate until use.
Coconut Mousse:
1.Chill bowl and whisk of a stand mixer in the freezer for at least 30 minutes (if they are not very cold the cream will not whip properly).
2.Carefully skim the solidified cream off the chilled coconut milk and transfer to to the chilled bowl. Make sure you do not include any of the coconut water, even a drop will effect how your cream whips.
3.Add the powdered sugar and whip 2-3 minutes until mixture begins to stiffen and turn into whipped cream.
4.Chill whipped cream in a covered container in the refrigerator. It will continue to firm up the longer it sits in the refrigerator – give it a couple hours or even overnight for the firmest cream.
Assemble the Mousse:
*Tip on drizzling sauces – I think the easiest way to drizzle sauces is to use a “Chef’s Condiment Dispenser” (just like the little plastic ketchup bottles you see at restaurants). You can find these at most craft or hobby stores, Bed Bath and Beyond, etc..they cost $1-$2 and are reusable and make drizzling sauces a breeze!
Drizzle strawberry sauce over chilled strawberry mousse. Top with 1 tbs. whipped cream and enjoy!
Chill leftovers.
