Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces Silken tofu
- 1.5 cups Powdered sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons Cocoa powder (optional, for chocolate frosting)
- 3 tablespoons Melted vegan butter or coconut oil
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Instructions
Drain the silken tofu and gently pat it dry with a clean kitchen towel to remove excess moisture.
Add the tofu, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to a blender or food processor.
Blend on high speed until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the blender as needed to ensure all the ingredients are fully combined.
If making chocolate tofu frosting, add the cocoa powder at this stage and blend again until fully mixed.
With the blender still running, slowly drizzle in the melted vegan butter or coconut oil. Blend until the mixture achieves a thick, frosting-like texture.
Taste the frosting and adjust sweetness or flavor as desired by adding more powdered sugar or vanilla extract.
Transfer the frosting to a bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow it to firm up before using.
Spread the frosting onto cooled cakes, cupcakes, or other desserts. Alternatively, use it as a dip for fruit or cookies!
