Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces Silken tofu
- 12 ounces Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon Coffee liqueur (or brewed espresso)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 1 9-inch crust Prepared chocolate wafer crust
Instructions
Place the silken tofu into a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, coffee liqueur (or brewed espresso), and honey. Heat in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the mixture is fully melted and smooth. This should take about 1-1.5 minutes.
Add the melted chocolate mixture and vanilla extract to the blended tofu. Blend again until the mixture is thoroughly combined and smooth, with no streaks of chocolate or tofu visible.
Carefully pour the chocolate mixture into the prepared chocolate wafer crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours or until firmly set. For best results, chill overnight.
Slice into 8 servings and enjoy as-is, or garnish with your favorite toppings such as whipped coconut cream, shaved chocolate, or fresh berries.
