Notes

Tip from my kitchen: this mousse is a wonderful make-ahead dessert – you can prepare it a day in advance and, covered, it keeps for about 2 days in the fridge. Whip the aquafaba really stiff, just like egg white, so the mousse turns out extra airy. Vary the amount of orange zest to taste, and for a layered dessert combine the mousse with coconut whipped cream and rhubarb ginger compote.
