3. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and gently fold in the whipped topping. Spoon the mousse into six 1 cup serving dishes, filling them about ⅔ full. Cover with plastic wrap and allow mousse to chill for a minimum of 2 hour. 

4. Serve chilled with extra whipped topping and toasted nuts (we used pistachios) or fresh berries, if desired.

  • Try adding ⅓ cup of your favourite nut butter to the tofu avocado mixture and top the chilled mousse with the same type of nut, toasted.
