35% cream substititue? (dairy alternative)
I'm looking to make a mousse that is dairy free. I'm considering using soy/rice/almond milk but am not sure if these have enough 'body' to give the mousse the thickness/texture factor.
Would any of these milk alternatives work? Or is there another alternative not mentioned here?2012: The Year Of The Purge!

Mmm Yummy coconut milk.
Make sure you get full fat not low fat, and get Thai Kitchen ( the best without all kinds of additives). Thai Kitchen - Coconut Milk
Take a can stick it in the freezer for a couple hours to a couple days depending on how your freezer freezes. You need it frozen!!!
Take out of the freezer,
remove the cream ( the frozen part on top, leave the coconut water for another use), and add 1 Tablespoon confectionery sugar ( I make my own) and 1 teaspoon vanilla or to taste, whipping it in a circular motion until it is whipped cream.
Will turn out like whipped cream, not sure if this is texture you are looking for but it tastes yummy....hehe*Angel*

Dr Oetker - has cornstarch in it - another one of my sis's no no's
I found a recipe on the food channel website for a flourless chocolate cake (uses eggs instead of flour) and uses a chocolate mousse to frost it with a raspberry jam filling and fresh raspberries on top. Just trying to figure out how to make the mousse w/o cream and enough to frost the cake.2012: The Year Of The Purge!

Libby,
Head smacking moment( just remembered this dessert) I am sure this would work for you, as I have made this cake:?Lighter than Air? Chocolate Cake | Gluten Free Recipes and substituted the coconut milk for the cream and it turned out great.*Angel*

Thats pretty close to what I'm going to 'attempt' to make for my sister and rest of the family for Christmas dinner - which I'm not sure when it will be. Last year we had it the 2nd wknd of December b/c everyone had 'other' plans...and on the 25th - I took dad down to the casino and for the buffet lunch
No one was there and we had our choice of the slots!

I have used silken tofu to make chocolate mousse before and it was delicious!
Melt the chocolate into the tofu, blend well and leave it to set.
