Chocolate Soy Silk Pie

Or something like that. I did the cheater version this week--nasoya (I think) makes a chocolate flavored silken tofu now. But here's the original I have made in the past. It's from Good Eats with Alton Brown. I've used Kahlua and I've also skipped the liqueur.


2 c chocolate chips (I use semi-sweet)
1/3 c coffee liqueur (I have skipped this before and threw in more vanilla and honey instead but if I have it I use it)
1 block silken tofu
1 t vanilla extract
1 T honey
1 store-bought chocolate wafer crust (or graham cracker, really, it's fine)

Place a small metal bowl over a saucepan with simmering water. Melt the chocolate and coffee liqueur in the bowl. Stir in vanilla.

Combine the tofu, chocolate mixture, and honey in the blender jar. Liquefy until smooth.

Pour the filling into the crust and refrigerate for 2 hours, or until the filling is set.

Mmm.

Thank you! I'll be trying this out, as soon as I buy some coffee liqueur. (Yes, I know you can substitute, but this gives me a good reason to have some in the house!)
