(14 cals) with low fat tofu.]
NOTES : Lori Peterkin of Albuquerque uses high-protein, shelf-stable tofu
(nonrefrigerated) instead of butter in chocolate frosting. The frosting is
so smooth, cool, and creamy that her kids also like it as a pudding. Enough
for 2-dozen cupcakes. Time: 20 mins plus chill time. *Recipe taken from the
