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.

What to do next

Tag me on @ethiveganquantum on Instagram to show me what you’ve made and let me know you’re happy for me to share.

My recipes are featured in vegan speciality publications: Nourished, Vegan Life, Plant Based and Vegan, Food and Living.

Order my first self-published book, “Essence: The Beginner’s Guide to Veganism” part of the three-part Circle of Food series. My second book “Presence: The Ascending Vegan” – which explores how to maintain a vegan practice is out in 2027 – I have compiled all the chapters including recipes.

Going strong since 2013.

Love.
