Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams chocolate sandwich cookies
- 75 grams unsalted butter
- 400 grams silken tofu
- 200 grams dark chocolate
- 60 milliliters maple syrup
- 5 milliliters vanilla extract
- 1 pinch sea salt
- 5 grams cocoa powder
- berries or whipped cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
In a food processor, crush the chocolate sandwich cookies into fine crumbs.
Melt the unsalted butter and add it to the cookie crumbs. Mix until the crumbs are moistened and resemble wet sand.
Press the cookie mixture evenly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie pan to form the crust. Use the back of a spoon to smooth it out.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, then remove and let it cool completely.
While the crust cools, break the dark chocolate into small pieces and melt it gently using a double boiler or microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring each time until smooth. Set aside.
In a blender or food processor, combine the silken tofu, melted chocolate, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
Pour the tofu-chocolate filling into the cooled pie crust, using a spatula to spread it out evenly.
Place the pie in the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 3 hours or until the filling is set.
Before serving, dust the top of the pie with cocoa powder and garnish with berries or whipped cream, if desired.
Slice and enjoy your Special Chocolate Tofu Pie!
