This is just awesome, and a great way to get some soy in your diet (kids love this too!). And it does not taste like tofu at all. I've listed a standard graham cracker crust, however I've also made it with a crust I made from crushed cholate wafers, butter and slivered almonds, if anyone wants instructions for that as well, just let me know!. By the way - cooking time is actually the time it takes to chill. Ingredients:
16 ounces silken tofu (please see note at bottom of instructions) |
12 ounces semisweet chocolate |
1 teaspoon vanilla or 1 teaspoon almond extract |
1 graham cracker crust (or what ever type crumb crust you prefer) |
whipped cream, if desired (to garnish) (optional) |
Directions:
1. Melt chocolate in microwave, or in double boiler. I use the microwave, it's just easier.
2. Place tofu in blender, and blend til smooth.
3. Add chocolate, and extract. Pulse blender til mixed.
4. Pour into pie crust and chill about an hour.
5. *Note: I couldn't remember the exact weight of the tofu package. You'll find silken tofu in the veggie section, next to where they have won ton wrappers - whatever size the silken package is, that's what I buy - and I've only ever seen one size. They have a lite version, but I've never tried that, but would probably work. Also, if you want a more intense chocolate flavor, just add a lil more chocolate.
