Chocolate Tofu Pie

By milly1362

Ingredients

• To make vegan make your own oreo cookie crust using chopped oreos and vegan butter or margarine to bind. Keebler ready made graham cracker and shortbread crusts are also vegan.
• 1 crust (original recipe uses graham cracker, but I think an oreo cookie crust is far superior in this recipe)
• 21 oz of /silken/ tofu (two 10.5 oz boxes, though two 12 oz boxes also works. The extra tofu does not appreciably dilute the chocolate taste at all.)
• 3 Tbs honey
• 12 oz semi-sweet chocolate
• Enough fruit to cover pie

Preparation

Step 1

1) Prepare fruit, if using. Wash fruit, shake water off and let drain really well, and chop if necessary. Let fruit become almost dry then toss with a bit of sugar. Wet fruit can make the pie soggy. Slighty damp, okay. (That lets the sugar cling to the fruit.) Dripping wet, /bad/. Just ask me how I know.

2) Roughly chop tofu. Put in blender with honey and blend until smooth. (see photo)

3) Melt chocolate in double boiler, stiring frequently. Add melted chocolate to blended tofu and re-blend. It may take some effort and time to get the chocolate to blend completely.

4) Pour into pie crust. Chill until set, usually a few hours. If you use a fruit topping, I've found that chilling first for, say, 15-30 minutes then add the fruit topping and finish chilling gives me a better result than putting the fruit on first. Serve small slices as this pie is very rich and sweet.

5) If using, whip the heavy cream just before serving.
