DECADENT CHOCOLATE FROSTING OR MOUSSE (VEGAN)



Decadent Chocolate Frosting or Mousse (Vegan) image

This versatile dessert is wonderful as a frosting for cakes or cupcakes, or perfect as a mousse with chopped strawberries, or a fruit dip. It is so creamy and rich that nobody will believe you if you tell them it contains tofu! Adapted from Alex Jamieson's The Great American Detox Diet. She called for maple syrup, but I think agave has a more neutral flavor. You can use any sweet syrup you want.
