Best Alton Browns Dairy Free Chocolate Pie Recipes
MOO-LESS CHOCOLATE PIE
Steps:
- Place enough water in the bottom of a 4-quart saucepan to come 1 inch up the sides. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
- Melt the chocolate chips with the liqueur and vanilla in a medium metal bowl set over the simmering water, stirring often with a rubber or silicone spatula. Combine the tofu, chocolate mixture and honey in a blender or food processor and spin until smooth, about 1 minute. Pour the filling into the crust and refrigerate for 2 hours, or until the filling sets firm.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Spin the cookies and sugar in a food processor until fine crumbs. Then drizzle in the butter, pulsing to combine. Press this mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom, up the sides and just over the lip of a 9-inch metal pie pan.
- Bake on the middle rack of the oven until crust is set and appears dry, 18 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool completely, about 1 hour.

Steps:
- Place a small metal bowl over a saucepan with simmering water. Melt the chocolate and coffee liqueur in the bowl. Stir in vanilla.
- Combine the tofu, chocolate mixture, and honey in the blender jar. Liquefy until smooth.
- Pour the filling into the crust and refrigerate for 2 hours, or until the filling is set. Don't pause in this step or it might set up before you finish getting it into the pan! If it does it's okay but it makes it difficult to spread into the pan.
- Note: I have bad luck finding a good prepared chocolate wafer crust so I use a prepared graham cracker crust.
- Optional: Add a dollop of cool whip or dump the whole tub on the cake like a meringue. I think it's too rich this way, my husband loves it.

ALTON BROWN'S DAIRY-FREE CHOCOLATE PIE
This recipe is based on one from a Dr. Oz December 2011 episode where Chef Alton Brown was a featured guest. Alton Brown discussed how he lost 50 pounds and has kept the weight off for two years. One of his secrets is recipes like this no-bake, low-calorie chocolate pie. This satisfies your sweet tooth while substituting tofu for dairy products. Alton prefers coffee liqueur, but you can substitute just about any of your favorite liqueurs. Prep and cook times do not include the two hours chill time. This recipe is originally from Alton's book, "Good Eats: The Early Years". I have tweaked this to suit my preferences.

HEALTHY DARK CHOCOLATE TORTE (PIE)
***Inspired by Alton Brown's Moo-less Chocolate Pie.*** Happy New Year! I am happy to present this decadent and (yes!) healthy recipe for an awesome dessert which I made for Christmas dinner 2011, not knowing what it would taste like. "Oh my!" I would never have guessed it wasn't totally sinful if I didn't already know. You rarely can go wrong w/an Alton Brown recipe, so I knew it'd be good, just not *this* good! Silken tofu: where have you been all my life?!? Note: I have made a few minor adjustments to ingredients and order of incorporation, which worked better for me, and hopefully will for you, too. Prep time includes 2 hours for chilling in the refrigerator post-assembly. (The original recipe can be found here: http://www.doctoroz.com/videos/alton-browns-dairy-free-chocolate-pie)

What is a dairy-free chocolate pie?
A dairy-free chocolate pie is essentially a pie that is made without using any animal-based dairy products. This means that the pie is free from milk, cream, cheese, yogurt, and butter. Alton Brown's recipe for this pie swaps out the usual dairy ingredients with plant-based alternatives, making it suitable for anyone who is lactose intolerant or vegan.Ingredients required for a dairy-free chocolate pie
To make Alton Brown's dairy-free chocolate pie, you will need a few key ingredients. These include:- 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon of baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
- 3/4 cup of white sugar
- 1/2 cup of vegetable shortening
- 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup of unsweetened applesauce
- 1/2 cup of semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup of unsweetened almond milk
- 1/4 cup of vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup of cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon of xanthan gum
Instructions to make Alton Brown's dairy-free chocolate pie
To make this delicious dairy-free chocolate pie, follow these simple steps:- In a large bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, and white sugar. Mix all the ingredients together until they are well combined.
- Next, add the vegetable shortening to the bowl and mix it in with a pastry cutter. Alternatively, you can pulse the mixture together in a food processor until it starts to resemble coarse sand.
- Add the vanilla extract and unsweetened applesauce to the bowl and mix them in until the mixture forms a dough. Once the dough has formed, wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes. This will help to make the dough easier to handle later on.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Take your refrigerated dough and roll it out with a rolling pin until it is 1/4 inch thick. Place the rolled-out dough in a 9-inch pie dish and trim off any excess dough that hangs over the edge of the dish.
- Fill the pie crust with semisweet chocolate chips, and set it aside while you make the chocolate filling.
- In a large saucepan, combine unsweetened almond milk, vegetable oil, cornstarch, and xanthan gum. Whisk the ingredients together until they are well blended.
- Next, add in the semisweet chocolate chips and stire them together until they have melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Pour the chocolate filling into the pie crust and smooth out the surface with a rubber spatula.
- Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the chocolate filling has set.
- Once the pie has finished baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool to room temperature before serving.
