Name: Silken Chocolate Pie
Prep time: 10 min
Total time: 10 min
Ingredients: 12 oz silken firm tofu (organic is best); 1/2 cup unsweetened vanilla Almondmilk (I prefer Almond Breeze); 1/2 cup nut butter, salted-- almond or peanut butter preferably; 12 oz chocolate chips, melted (regular or vegan); 1 tsp pure vanilla extract; 1/2 tbsp maple syrup, pure (optional, for a slightly sweeter pie); 1 graham cracker crust *

This pie is luxuriously rich, thick and creamy, without a drop of dairy in it. The secret ingredient is silken tofu, which creates a melt-in-your-mouth texture without any additional fat– just protein! Nobody will ever know the tofu is in there (nor will they care). This was a big hit at my last holiday dinner– even my tofu-phobic brother enjoyed a huge piece!

Silken Chocolate Pie

Only six ingredients create a rich, dreamy pie that will melt in your mouth. The magic is created with silken tofu, along with nut butter, almond milk and semi-sweet chocolate. So easy to make, too-- it all comes together in a blender and sets up in the fridge.

Notes

Silken Tofu: Be sure to buy organic, non-GMO tofu.

Crust: I used this classic graham cracker crust recipe, below. I've also included a healthier, gluten-free option here:

Healthier Graham Cracker Crust: 1 cup ground nuts (walnuts or pecans)
8-10 soaked pitted dates (soak in water for a minimum of 15 minutes to soften). Blend nuts and soaked dates until finely chopped and crumbly yet will stick together. Press into a deep dish pie pan and bake at 350 for 10 minutes. Cool and fill.

Classic Graham Cracker Crust: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a food processor, combine 12 sheets of graham crackers, 1/3 cup sugar, and 6 tbsp melted plant butter. Process until combined. Press firmly into a 8-9" pie pan. Bake for 10 minutes. Cool before filling.
