CHOCOLATE TOFU PIE

Steps:

• Pre-bake a 9-inch pie shell. Set aside to cool.
• Thoroughly drain the tofu.
• Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave. There should be directions on the package. I melted mine for 45 seconds, then stir and continue in 15-20 second intervals until melted.
• Put tofu into food processor and pulse until creamy. Scrape down sides and add the salt and vanilla. Pulse another moment or two.
• Add the melted chocolate to the tofu and pulse until mixed. Scrape down the sides of the bowl again and continue to pulse until thoroughly combined and creamy.
• Pour the chocolate filling into the cooled pie crust.
• Whip the cream with the 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar until fairly stiff but not overmixed. Dollop the whipped cream onto the pie.
• Use a vegetable peeler to shave some dark chocolate. I used a 70% Cocoa bar. Sprinkle shavings on top of the pie.
• Store the Chocolate Tofu Pie in the refrigerator.

CHOCOLATE TOFU MOUSSE PIE

Steps:

• Melt the chocolate over low heat, stirring often. Blend tofu in a food processor. Add the vanilla and melted chocolate and blend again, stopping once or twice to scrape down the sides of a bowl with a rubber spatula.
• Beat the egg whites to soft peaks. Place the tofu chocolate mixture into a bowl and slowly fold in the egg whites with a rubber spatula. Scoop the filling into the pie crust and refrigerate for several hours before serving.
• Serve with a bit of whipped cream or raspberry sauce (or simply thin raspberry jam with a bit of water and lemon juice). Don't say tofu, say terrific.
• *RAW EGG WARNING
• Food Network Kitchens suggest caution in consuming raw and lightly-cooked eggs due to the slight risk of Salmonella or other food-borne illness. To reduce this risk, we recommend you use only fresh, properly-refrigerated, clean, grade A or AA eggs with intact shells, and avoid contact between the yolks or whites and the shell.
