Tofu Chocolate Pie image

With the name of "tofucheesecake" I figured I would post the recipe that inspired me to take that title. It's not called a cheesecake, but it has that consistency. Depending on the size of your pie pan, you may or may not need the extra crust. The last time I made this, I came out with enough filling for 1 3/4 crusts. You can also pour it into cups and make puddings. I got the recipe from a tofu cooking class, but I have seen similar variations elsewhere. Cook time includes setting time in refrigerator.

Time 4h16m

Yield 1-2 pies, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 -2 graham cracker pie crust (or equivalent crumbs)
1/4 cup butter, melted
2 tablespoons sugar or 2 tablespoons Splenda sugar substitute
2 (12 ounce) cartons soft silken tofu (the softest kind, about 24 oz, I use Mori Nu)
12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
3 tablespoons honey
vanilla (optional)
chocolate flavoring
raspberry flavoring (the kind you put in coffee, to taste, if you would like)

Steps:

  • Make crust if needed by crushing graham crackers until fine and adding sugar and butter.
  • Press into a 9" pie pan and bake at 350F for 10 minutes. (This makes 1 crust).
  • Process tofu in blender or cuisinart until completely smooth (if you use a blender this may need to be done in more than one batch).
  • Melt chocolate chips. Add to tofu along with honey and flavourings. Pour into crust and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until completely firm.
  • It can also be frozen, if you like.
