Come to the Dark Side We Have Dark Chocolate Frosting

... and it's vegan, no less!

(Shamelessly ganked from this recipe for chocolate silk pie, which was shamelessly adapted from this young lady's recipe, but I've never had much shame about anything, so it's fine.  Sets me up great to shamelessly make this frosting, smear it all over some vegan wedding cake, and eat it with my bare hands.)

... and I'm not even vegan, wtf.

Come to the Dark Side We Have Dark Chocolate Frosting

Ingredients

16-20 oz silk tofu
2 tsp cocoa powder
2 Tbsp coffee liqueur OR vanilla extract
Pinch salt
1 Tbsp sugar
12 oz vegan dark chocolate* (if you can get your mitts on some Taza chocolate, you'll have a REAL treat)

Instructions

  1. In a food processor, combine tofu, cocoa powder, liqueur/vanilla, salt, and sugar.
  2. Process until smooth.
  3. In a double-boiler (or SUPER carefully in the microwave?  I've heard this works for people, but it has never worked reliably for me) melt your dark chocolate.
  4. Pour the melted chocolate into the tofu mixture and process for a few seconds, then scrape down the sides and process again until it's completely smooth.
  5. Dump all of that into a lidded container and refrigerate at least 1 hour, or until it's thick and set.
  6. Use it to frost cakes or just eat it from the container with a spoon.  It's got dark chocolate and tofu in it, so it's good for you.  Right?
*It should be noted that most dark chocolates contain milk powder and are therefore NOT vegan.  Check your ingredient lists carefully.  This recipe is perfectly delightful with non-vegan chocolate, but you'll want to check your audience to make sure non-vegan is okay.
