  • 60 grams Vanilla protein powder
  • 3 large Egg whites
  • 50 grams Sugar

Directions

Step 1

Start by draining the silken tofu and pressing it lightly to remove excess liquid. Pat dry with a paper towel.

Step 2

In a blender, combine the silken tofu, Greek yogurt, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, honey, and vanilla protein powder.

Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy. Set aside.

Step 4

In a clean, dry bowl, add the egg whites and a pinch of salt.

Step 5

Using an electric mixer, whisk the egg whites on medium speed until soft peaks form.

Step 6

As you continue to whisk, gradually add the sugar until the egg whites are glossy and form stiff peaks.

Step 7

Gently fold the blended tofu mixture into the beaten egg whites, being careful not to deflate the egg whites.

Step 8

Once fully incorporated and smooth, transfer the mousse into serving glasses or bowls.

Step 9

Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow the mousse to set.

Step 10

Serve chilled and garnish with additional lemon zest if desired.
