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.

Tips for Making the Perfect Chocolate Mousse Frosting:

- Use high-quality semisweet or bittersweet chocolate for the best flavor. - Let the chocolate and butter cool slightly before whipping. This will help to prevent the frosting from becoming too runny. - Whip the cream until it holds stiff peaks. This will help to create a light and fluffy frosting. - Fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture gently. Over-mixing can cause the frosting to become deflated. - Use the frosting immediately, or store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Chocolate mousse frosting is a delicious and versatile frosting that can be used to top cakes, cupcakes, and other desserts. With its light and fluffy texture and rich chocolate flavor, it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special frosting recipe, give chocolate mousse frosting a try. You won't be disappointed!
