Ingredients
  • 15 oz Silky tofu
  • 4 key limes, juiced
  • 1/4 teaspoon lime zest
  • 3 Tablespoons honey
  • 1/4 teaspoon agar agar
  • 1/4 cup oat milk
  • 1/3 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • fresh fruit for garnish
Instructions
  1. Start with the tofu base. Mix it with the lime juice, zest and honey in a food processor and process until it's smooth and well blended.

  2. Next dissolve the agar agar in the oat milk and simmer it on low for 2 to 3 minutes.

  3. It's important to make sure the agar powder is heated to at least 115 degrees. Made from red seaweed, as it cools it becomes a stronger binder than gelatin and gives this mousse the fluffiness.

  4. Once the milk is brought to temperature, add it to the tofu mixture and process for a minute or two. If you like your lime desserts to be green, you can add some green food color, but natural lime has no pigment. 

  5. Last, pour the mousse into a bowl and top with graham cracker crumbs. Cover and refrigerate for 4 or 5 hours, or until the mousse is semi-firm. 

  6. Serve it alone or with fresh fruit on the top
