Vegan Chocolate Mousse Frosting
- 1 12-ounce package extra-firm silken tofu, drained of excess liquid
- ¼ cup plain soy milk or dairy-free milk beverage of choice
- 2 tbsp agave syrup or maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 12-ounce package dairy-free semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease two 6-donut baking pans with oil; set aside.
- In a small mixing bowl, mix together flax seed meal and water and place it in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
- In a medium mixing bowl whisk together gluten-free flour, cocoa, Boku Super Protein, Boku Super Fuel, baking powder, baking soda, xanthan gum, and salt; set aside.
- In a separate large mixing bowl, mix together sugar, oil, and dairy-free milk. Add in the flax eggs and stir until combined.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until well combined.
- Spoon batter into your prepared donut pans and fill about halfway (approximately ¼ cup).
- Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until set. Remove from the oven and allow the donuts to cool for 5 minutes. Gently run a rubber spatula along the sides of the donuts and flip the donuts out onto a cooling rack.
- Enjoy the donuts as is or make the chocolate mousse recipe below and pipe or spread the mousse on fully cooled donuts. We added a sprinkle of coconut flakes as well!
Vegan Chocolate Mousse Frosting
- Crumble the tofu into a blender. Add the soy milk, sweetener and vanilla. Purée until completely smooth.
- In a double boiler, melt the chocolate chips. Use a rubber spatula to mix the chocolate as it melts. Once melted, remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the chocolate to the tofu and blend until combined. Use the spatula to scrape down the sides of the blender every so often.
- Transfer the chocolate mousse topping to an airtight container.
- Chill for 1 hour in the refrigerator before frosting donuts.
