Chocolate Tofu Mousse Pie Recipes

CHOCOLATE MOUSSE PIE

Steps:

• Crust: Blitz graham crackers, halved dates, and butter in a food processor until evenly mixed and crumbly. Lightly grease an 8 or 9 inch pie pan*, then press crust mixture into the bottom and up the sides.
• Filling: Wipe clean the food processor then blitz tofu, cocoa powder, sweetener, and vanilla until smooth.
• Melt Chocolate: Melt chocolate using a double boiler. If you do not have one, place chocolate in a small saucepan. In a large saucepan, bring water to a boil. Hold small saucepan over boiling water for about 30 seconds, stirring constantly, until chocolate has melted.
• Chocolate Explosion: With food processor running, slowly pour melted chocolate into tofu mixture.
• Refrigerate: Pour filling into crust and even out the top with a spoon. Cover and place in fridge for 2 to 3 hours, until firm. Serve with whipped cream and fresh berries.

CHOCOLATE I-CAN'T-BELIEVE-IT-HAS-TOFU MOUSSE

Steps:

• Melt chocolate chips in the top of a double boiler over simmering water, stirring frequently and scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, about 5 minutes.
• Blend melted chocolate, tofu, maple syrup, and vanilla extract together in a food processor or blender until smooth. Add milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, to tofu mixture with the food processor on high until mousse is creamy and pudding-consistency. Pour mousse into a serving dish and refrigerate until set, at least 30 minutes.

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.

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.
