Tart fleshy rhubarb sticks and caramelised toffee folded into creamy silken tofu; Rhubarb Burnt Sugar Mousse.
Wrestle with a luxurious taste sensation. And, let your lips quiver.
This dish will kerb any belief that vegan food can’t be this super yummy.
Make this:
- When you’ve got your nephew and niece visiting for the weekend. And, you need a lush dish that’ll have some sweet but will have the goodness of rhubarb kicked in
- When you fancy a sublime dish but that doesn’t take much effort in rustling up. Melt into the sofa as you indulge
- When your garden is bountiful with its own rhubarb. Harvesting your own is a bonus. And, you’ve run out of ideas
Rhubarb Burnt Sugar Mousse was inspired when experimenting with burnt sugar. I had wanted to create a contrasting taste the tangy rhubarb and ended up with this concoction.
This Mousse is vegan.

Made this with a bit more rhubarb and tofu for a dinner party and it was delicious! I did roast the rhubarb beforehand with some oil, mapley srup and spices which I think did help the flavour. However everyone loved it and my friend suggested to try and put it in the freezer see if it turned into some kind of ice cream but I forgot… guess I’l have to make it again haha
Thank you for the recipe anyway!

What is the topping in the picture please? I’d like to try and make it look like the serving suggestion but there are no details
Hello John
So, I can’t recall exactly but it looks like quartered dried cranberries and orange peel.
It is just the garnishing…
Hope that helps.
Much love.
