My daughter's 18th birthday is today, 11.11.11. She is a vegan and a chocolate lover so I am surprising her with vegan desserts. She finds traditional frosting way too sweet and prefers the cream cheese-based variety. Most vegan chocolate frosting recipes call for ridiculous amounts of sugar and fat. Below is a traditional frosting recipe I took and adapted eliminating heavy cream and replacing dairy products with canola oil, soy milk and vegan cream cheese.
1 x 8 ounce package of vegan cream cheese (or regular cream cheese)
1/4 cup of confectioner sugar
1 cup of semi sweet chocolate morsels
Instead of 1/4 cup heavy cream I used:
1/8 cup of soy milk
1/8 cup of canola oil
Beat cream cheese and sugar together until fluffy. Melt morsels with soy milk (or heavy cream) and canola oil over slow heat, constantly stirring. No need for a double boiler, just use a regular pot. It should be creamy. Add slowly to cream cheese/sugar mix. Beat until fluffy.
