Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1/2 cup reduced-fat soymilk

1/2 cup strong brewed coffee or coffee substitute

3/4 cup sugar or Sucanat

2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa

1/3 cup cornstarch

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

 

Mix the soymilk, coffee, sugar, cocoa, and cornstarch in a blender until it

is very smooth. Pour this into a heavy, medium saucepan, and stir

constantly over medium heat with a wooden spoon, scraping the bottom and

sides often. Cook for about 7 minutes, or until the mixture is thick and

glossy.

 

Remove the pan from the heat, and add the vanilla. Beat the mixture with a

wire whisk to remove any lumps. Cool the mixture completely, stirring

occasionally.

 

If you make it ahead of time, refrigerate it but bring to room temperature

before frosting the cake, and beat it again to make it smooth. If the

mixture is too thick, whip in a little maple syrup until it is the right

consistency.
