Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups chocolate cookie crumbs
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 12 ounces silken tofu
- 10 ounces dark chocolate, chopped
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon bourbon
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder (optional, for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, mix the chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the crumb mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust.
Bake the crust for 5 minutes, then set it aside to cool completely.
Place the chopped dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
In a blender or a food processor, combine the silken tofu, melted chocolate, vanilla extract, and maple syrup. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
Pour the chocolate filling into the cooled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is set.
Just before serving, prepare the brown sugar bourbon cream: In a large bowl, combine the heavy cream, brown sugar, bourbon, and powdered sugar.
Use an electric mixer to whip the cream mixture on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.
Slice the pie and serve each slice with a dollop of the brown sugar bourbon cream.
Optionally, garnish with a light dusting of cocoa powder and chocolate shavings for extra flair.
