Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie
Filling: 2 boxes silken tofu 12 oz. semi-sweet chocolate chips 3 Tbsp. maple syrup 1 tsp. vanilla 1 cup peanut butter
Graham Cracker Crust: 1 1/2 cups graham crackers, crushed 1/4 cup melted margarine 1 Tbsp. sugar (opt.)
Crust: Combine crumbs, margarine, and sugar and mix well. Press into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Prebake for 10 to 12 minutes at 350 degrees F. (Pretty easy crust recipe, huh! FYI, for other pies that will be baked, such as a tofu cheesecake, there is no need to prebake).
Filling: Melt chocolate chips in a double boiler and add to tofu in a blender. Blend until smooth. Add maple syrup and vanilla, and blend again.
Assembly: Soften peanut butter and gently spread on bottom of pie shell. Pour tofu mixture into shell and chill. Garnish with fruit if desired (kiwi is wonderful) |
