You can easily substitute the cream cheese for some mascarpone

Be Patient

We know waiting for your dessert to set is nobody’s favorite activity. However, only with patience will you be able to achieve the perfect consistency. Try to resist the urge to hurry and leave it for the needed time. In order to have a better consistency, we recommend you leave the mousse for 24 hours, covered in the fridge before serving.

Cream Cheese Substitute

If you simply do not like the taste of vegan cream cheese, or you haven’t been able to find any, we have a solution. You can easily substitute if for some mascarpone. However, then you must keep in mind that the dish will not be vegan anymore. The same goes if you use regular cream cheese.
