For many years I kept the basic ingredient of this pie a secret, and for many years people wondered what was in it. Cream? Butter? Both? Well, for many years no one knew is that the main ingredient (besides chocolate, of course) is tofu! Why tofu? Not to be healthy or because I had anything against dairy, but because it's just easy. Why didn't I tell people? Because many of my picky-eater relatives wouldn't have eaten it if they'd known it was tofu. Finally, one day, after everyone had enjoyed a piece of pie, I let the secret out... but you don't have to. Make this pie, and let everyone think you spent more time making it out of cream and butter. One note: be sure to use silken tofu, not the meatier, textured tofu. Make sure it says "silken" on the box.

Steps:
- Melt the chocolate chips however you like to melt them. I heat them in a non-stick skillet over a low-heat burner, stirring often and keeping a close eye so to remove them when just melted.
- Combine tofu and vanilla in a food processor. While processing, add the melted chocolate slowly. Process until well combined.
- Spoon into the pie crust. Chill in the refrigerator for a couple hours until the pie has solidified. Served chilled.
