Preparation
Step 1
Mostly pure pumpkin, and highly seasoned with lemon,
maple, and sweet spices, this vegan mousse is lightened by the
presence of whipped silken tofu. The tofu is utterly neutral in
flavor, but adds a wonderful creamy texture, as well as a big hit
of protein.
Place everything except the pumpkin and the gingersnaps in
a blender, and puré until smooth.
Add
half the pumpkin, and purée again. Transfer to a medium-sized
bowl and beat in the remaining pumpkin until the mixture becomes
uniformly creamy.
Cover tightly and chill for several hours or overnight, so
the flavors combine and deepen. To serve, spoon into decorative
bowls and sprinkle with gingersnap crumbs. Serve immediately, so
the crumbs won't turn soggy.
Don't add the gingersnap crumbs until the very last minute
– they don't stay crisp for long.
