MOO-LESS CHOCOLATE PIE

Steps:

• Place enough water in the bottom of a 4-quart saucepan to come 1 inch up the sides. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
• Melt the chocolate chips with the liqueur and vanilla in a medium metal bowl set over the simmering water, stirring often with a rubber or silicone spatula. Combine the tofu, chocolate mixture and honey in a blender or food processor and spin until smooth, about 1 minute. Pour the filling into the crust and refrigerate for 2 hours, or until the filling sets firm.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Spin the cookies and sugar in a food processor until fine crumbs. Then drizzle in the butter, pulsing to combine. Press this mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom, up the sides and just over the lip of a 9-inch metal pie pan.
• Bake on the middle rack of the oven until crust is set and appears dry, 18 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool completely, about 1 hour.

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.
