Ingredients

  • 6 oz Semisweet chocolate chips, or one cup
  • 1 box Tofu Mori-nu ex-firm lowfat or 12.3oz shelf-stable tofu
  • 2 tbl Rum, see pantry
  • 1 tbl Vanilla

Directions

1

Pour chocolate into a microwave safe bowl. Heat in a microwave oven on half power until chocolate is soft, 2 to 2+1/2 minutes.

2

Meanwhile in a blender combine tofu, rum and vanilla. Whirl until smoothly pureed.

3

Stir chocolate until smooth. Scrape into blender with tofu mixture.

4

Whirl until smoothly pureed. Pour into a bowl and nest in ice water. Stir often until frosting is cold, 10 to 12 minutes. Use or cover airtight and chill up to 2 days, stir before spreading.

5

MAKES 2 cups; enough for a 2-layer 8- or 9-inch cake, a 9- by 13-inch cake, or 2 dozen cupcakes.

PANTRY: run, orange or coffee flavor liqueur, or water may be used to flavor the frosting.

NOTES : Lori Peterkin of Albuquerque uses high-protein, shelf-stable tofu

8

(nonrefrigerated) instead of butter in chocolate frosting. The frosting is so smooth, cool, and creamy that her kids also like it as a pudding. Enough for 2-dozen cupcakes.
