How to Make Decadent Chocolate Frosting Or Mousse Vegan

  1. Line a fine-mesh sieve with several layers of paper towels. Place 14 ounces (397g) of silken tofu in the sieve.
  2. Fold the paper towels over the tofu, and place a heavy can or weight on top. Drain for 15 minutes.
  3. Add the drained tofu to a food processor and blend until completely smooth and creamy.
  4. In a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler, melt 8 ounces (227g) of semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  5. Add the melted chocolate, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt to the food processor with the tofu.
  6. Process until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
  7. Transfer the frosting/mousse to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until set. The longer it chills, the firmer it will become.
  8. Once chilled, frost cakes or cupcakes, serve as a mousse with fresh berries, or use as a fruit dip. Enjoy!
