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
Directions
Step 1
Drain the silken tofu and gently pat it dry with a clean kitchen towel to remove excess moisture.
Step 2
Add the tofu, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to a blender or food processor.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
If making chocolate tofu frosting, add the cocoa powder at this stage and blend again until fully mixed.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Taste the frosting and adjust sweetness or flavor as desired by adding more powdered sugar or vanilla extract.
Step 7
Transfer the frosting to a bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow it to firm up before using.
Step 8
Spread the frosting onto cooled cakes, cupcakes, or other desserts. Alternatively, use it as a dip for fruit or cookies!
