Easy Vegan Icing

If you're throwing a health conscious baby shower, then an easy vegan icing recipe is in order, right?

Here are a few that will keep your taste buds happy!

Tofu and Maple Vegan Frosting
1 lb tofu
½ cup maple syrup
¼ cup tahini
2 T chocolate powder
2 t. vanilla extract

Put all ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth.

Easy Vegan Frosting
1 cup milled cane sugar or white sugar
6 T cornstarch
4 T cocoa powder
½ t. salt
1 cup water
2 T safflower or vegetable oil
½ teaspoon vanilla extract

1. Mix the dry ingredients in a medium saucepan. Whisk in the water. Heat over medium heat to thicken, continuing to whisk as you do. The mixture may thicken quickly or take a minute or so at boiling to come to a thickness good for spreading. As soon as it reaches that thickness, remove it from the heat.

2. Stir in the oil and vanilla. Cool and set aside until ready to use.

Both of these are from The Artful Cupcake. If you're a cupcake lover, we recommend this book. It's full of creative and playful ideas, as well as sophisticated ones. It's also loaded with full color photos, which we require in any cookbook. Not all ideas are the traditional cupcake shape either...you'll find recipes for mini bundt cakes, mini cakes and a decadent chocolate pyramid.
