Chocolate Tofu Pie

In a blender or food processor, puree until smooth:

  • 1 block soft tofu, drained
  • a couple of tablespoons of honey
  • a glug of liquid (cold coffee, chai, Irish cream, coffee liqueur)

Melt 1 12 oz bag of chocolate chips or the equivalent amount of chocolate. Microwave or double-boiler works fine.

Gradually add to tofu mixture as blender runs, Mix until smooth and uniform in color.

Pour into graham cracker crust, chill until firm.

Variations:
By substituting Silken Tofu for the soft you have an easy and Quick Chocolate pudding/mousse.

We often like to melt raspberry jam or nut butter and add a layer of it in the crust before pouring the tofu mix. Make sure it’s cooled before adding the tofu mix! We also vary the types of chocolate and the type of crumb-crust.

I’ve had numerous people who are FIRMLY anti-tofu scarf up this pie without question. A good treat for the kids, since there is actual Food involved.
