Cool on a wire rack., In a blender or food processor, combine the tofu, honey and extracts. Cover and process until smooth.

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.

TOFU CHOCOLATE PUDDING/MOUSSE/PIE FILLING

Steps:

• Note 1: vegans: use barley-malt-sweetened nondairy chocolate chips or use a really good vegan chocolate bar (like Rapunzel Organic Bittersweet) instead of some or all of the chips.
• Note 2: I use the Mori Nu brand of tofu for this (since it's from their box), but you can use any brand, just make sure it is the"silken" type and not regular.
• Melt choc chips in a double boiler over low heat or in microwave (if you know what you're doing).
• Put tofu, sweetener, and melted chocolate into a blender and process until very smooth.
• Pour into a serving bowl or bowls and refrigerate, covered, for at least a couple of hours.
• Cover this well, because it will pick up EVERY odor in your refrigerator otherwise.

TOFU CHOCOLATE PUDDING

Steps:

• Combine the water and chocolate chips on top of a double boiler.
• Stir to melt it until smooth. Set aside.
• Blend the Tofu to puree it until its smooth and lump free.
• Add the melted chocolate to it and blend it once again to combine it well.
• IMPORTANT STEP: Refrigerate this for at least 2 hours. The longer you keep it, better for the tofu and chocolate to mingle. It will thicken.
• You can pipe them into serving bowls/ramekins and serve them plain or with raspberries.

TOFU DREAM PUDDING AND PIE FILLING

Steps:

• IMPORTANT NOTES ADDED:.
• The tofu called for here is asceptic tofu NOT waterpacked tofu. One brand is Mori-Nu. AGAIN: It will NOT work with Waterpacked [tofu packed in water] also called cotton. It will NOT work with firm waterpack tofu. The texture and the taste will change because the medium will change. An example of the correct tofu is: http://www.morinu.com/ Please feel free to visit the Vegetarian forum and ask if you aren't sure. We don't bite. Honest but we do have great ways to make stuff taste even better. I host there so you can ask anytime. As to the Almond, add a bit, taste and add more. Don't add all at once. You may need less than we use because brands vary. [Do the same with other flavorings too] Also I have added chocolate extract. It does well with that in place of the Almond.
• Simply blend your tofu, cocoa, sugar or Splenda, vanilla in a food processor or blender until smooth and well blended.
• You have pudding. Add to your favorite shell or eat as a pudding. Can be used in parfaits also. Layer pudding, fruit, pudding, fruit. garnish with fruit slices and a mint leaf or two or almond slices.
• NOTE 24.6 ounces is two standard packages for me. It does seem to "grab" the sweet of sugar to me so I use less. I also find it works very well with Splenda. Those with a sweet tooth may want to tweak that. Simply add the 1/4 and taste. Then add to your taste. Syrups such as honey, maple syrup and Kings Molasses have been used but I personally wasn't pleased with it. However tastes may vary. Also note it MUST BE FIRM SILKEN. IT CANNOT BE WATERPACKED [can be low fat, organic or regular]. Soft is for smoothies and Cotton or waterpacked is for other methods.
• I never thought to add this. Be careful what cocoa powder you use. The tofu is going to grab the taste. IF it is a chalky type you are going to have chalky tofu pudding. Nothing in the pudding mix will 'hide' that. Remember this has no milk to 'mute' the cocoa taste.
