Velvety creamy nutty Fig and Butternut Mousse infused with a tinge of citrus, orange blossom water and tamari.
Take a bite and delve into silky smoothness. And, relax.
This dish will have you burst any belief that vegan food can’t be simple to put together.
Make this:
- When you’ve had a long day at the home and need to put your feet up on the sofa and relax with a little indulgent treat
- When you’ve got a nifty dinner party for friends and a quick and dirty dessert is obligatory
- When you fancy a little something special as you nudge up to your loved one for brekkie in bed
Fig and Butternut Mousse was inspired when having a mate over for bevvies and putting the World to rights.
Butternut squash is a winter squash that has a sweet nutty flavour to it. It is native to America and Canada.
Figs and Butternut Mousse is vegan, paleo and raw.
