PEANUT BUTTER BANANA VEGAN MOUSSE

This is a very allergy-friendly mousse it's Dairy-Free, Gluten-Free, Egg-free and Gluten-Free

This is a vegan dessert with tofu and aquafaba, two ingredients you may not think of when you're reaching for your favorite plant-based desserts.

The taste and texture of this vegan mousse are two things we think you'll really enjoy about this recipe. Banana and peanut butter make a great combination and blend together without either flavor overpowering the other.

The texture is smooth, real smooth lol. This is because of silken tofu and aquafaba.

What Is Aquafaba And Why Am I Seeing It In All My Vegan Desserts?

Aquafaba is the thick liquid that results from soaking or cooking chickpeas; some food bloggers say you can also use the liquid from any legumes. The liquid from cans beans is the same but without the wait or preparation of dried beans. It's so popular in vegan cooking because its a great substitute for egg whites in recipes because it whips up nicely.

We normally get our liquid from canned chickpeas for Aquafaba when we make hummus. We catch and save it for later use and it keeps for a week or two. Vegansociety.com has a great article about 20 different things you can do with Aquafaba.
