Best Chocolate Elk Pie Mousse Made With Silken Tofu Recipes

TOFU CHOCOLATE PUDDING/MOUSSE/PIE FILLING

Steps:

• Note 1: vegans: use barley-malt-sweetened nondairy chocolate chips or use a really good vegan chocolate bar (like Rapunzel Organic Bittersweet) instead of some or all of the chips.
• Note 2: I use the Mori Nu brand of tofu for this (since it's from their box), but you can use any brand, just make sure it is the"silken" type and not regular.
• Melt choc chips in a double boiler over low heat or in microwave (if you know what you're doing).
• Put tofu, sweetener, and melted chocolate into a blender and process until very smooth.
• Pour into a serving bowl or bowls and refrigerate, covered, for at least a couple of hours.
• Cover this well, because it will pick up EVERY odor in your refrigerator otherwise.

TOFU CHOCOLATE PIE

Cool on a wire rack., In a blender or food processor, combine the tofu, honey and extracts. Cover and process until smooth. Add melted chocolate; cover and process until blended., Transfer to pie shell. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Garnish with whipped cream and strawberries if desired.

CHOCOLATE ELK PIE (MOUSSE MADE WITH SILKEN TOFU)

Steps:

• Melt chocolate in microwave, or in double boiler. I use the microwave, it's just easier.
• Place tofu in blender, and blend til smooth.
• Add chocolate, and extract. Pulse blender til mixed.
• Pour into pie crust and chill about an hour.
• *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.
