Colin is a friend of mine who raved about the following dessert and I was anxious to try it out. He finally had a chance to make it and brought it over the other night - it was delicious! The tofu really lends itself to the creamy texture and with only 4 ingredients, it's a breeze to make. If you're looking for a sweet dessert that's practically guilt-free, this is one to try!
Creamy Chocolate Tofu Pie
recipe from Vegetarian Times Magazine
recipe from Vegetarian Times Magazine
2 (12.3 oz) boxes Silken Extra Firm Tofu (Use only extra firm)
1 bag Chocolate Chips, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 Graham Cracker Pie Crust, prepared (homemade or store bought)
Fresh fruit and/or whipped cream for garnish (optional)
In a food processor chop the two packages of tofu until almost smooth. Add the melted chocolate and vanilla and blend until smooth.
Remove mixture from food processor and pour into the prepared graham cracker pie crust. Chill the pic in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours to set.
Before serving, garnish with fresh fruit and/or whipped cream if desired.
Tofu is something I've really grown to love over the past few years, but that I have tried less in sweet applications. This sounds yummy.
ReplyDeleteWow that's great work thanks for shearing your recipes good luck
ReplyDeleteWhat size in ounces are the 2 boxes of silken extra firm tofu each?
ReplyDeleteThanks for shearing your interesting food and great work keep it up
ReplyDeleteJust discovered your blog a couple weeks ago, I love it! I decided to try this pie with the same hesitations, but it turned out so great! It firmed up perfectly and everyone was shocked when they found out it was tofu. I think next time, I'll add some texture to the filling, throw in some mini chocolate chips or top it with cookie crumbs.
ReplyDeleteI just started getting into tofu as a weight loss food and its actually pretty tasty & versatile. I tried a key lime tofu pie & am willing to try this. Pie packed with protein! Sounds good to me!
