This creamy spread is just like foie gras mousse—rich and velvety, perfect for serving with toast points, nuts, sweet preserves, and fresh and dried fruit—but it has no animal products whatsoever. You could call it vegan foie gras; you could call it faux gras; or you can just call it a vegan cheese spread. No matter which way you slice it, there’s no debate or argument here, there’s just nuts and umami-rich ingredients like mushrooms, miso, and tomato paste, tweaked with some modernist shenanigans (gellan!) to create something that’s every bit as delicious as tasty things made with fatty duck livers, for a fraction of the cost. This vegan riff on foie gras mousse is decadently rich and velvety, perfect on toast points and topped with jam. We blended pump cashews to replicate the creamy texture, and amped up the umami with miso, mushrooms, tomato paste, and aromatic spices. This affordable, non-controversial appetizer will impress all your guests at your next holiday party. #plantbasedfoiegras #foiegras #vegan #veganfoiegras
