Chocolate Silk Pie
If you are a chocolate lover, you will love this rich dessert. Quick and easy to make!
Ingredients
12 ounces chocolate chips
12.3 - 16 ounces silken firm tofu (or 1 aseptic box)
1/3 cup sweetener (agave nectar, brown rice syrup, molasses or combination of all three)
1/2 tsp vanilla
Dash of salt
1 graham cracker pie crust (store bought is easiest)
Optional:
soy whipped “cream”
Preparation
If you have a double boiler, boil water, place chocolate chips in top sauce pan, and, stirring occasionally, melt the chocolate chips. If you don’t have a double boiler, boil 1-2 inches of water in a sauce pan. Place chocolate chips in a metal bowl or heat-proof glass bowl and place on top of the sauce pan. Stirring occasionally, melt the chocolate chips.
In a blender mix the tofu, sweetener, vanilla and dash of salt and the melted chocolate chips. Blend thoroughly. You may need to stop the blender and scrape down the sides a few times.
Pour the mixture into the pie crust and place the pie in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours. Serve on its own or with a dollop of soy whipped “cream.”
