Moo-less Chocolate Pie

April 26, 2008

Rei-chanI made this recipe and it is extremely good. I never ever thought I’d be eating tofu, much less on a chocolate dessert. But trust me, it doesn’t taste like tofu XD It’s a delicious healthy recipe. Several reviewers said that this recipe was even better tasting with dark chocolate, though I haven’t tried that yet. Remember that dark chocolate is actually good for your health, because it contains Omega-3 fatty acids that have been proven to be good for your heart’s health. It also contains antioxidants which help remove free radicals from your body. Well, enough science facts, and on to the deliciousness~

2 cups chocolate chips (I used a 16 oz Ghirardelli chocolate bar)
1/3 cup coffee liqueur (I just used 1/3 cup coffee instead)
1 block silken tofu
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon honey
1 prepared chocolate wafer crust (I used a shortbread crust instead)

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.

    Hmm… I dunno the calories, but I can count them based on the ingredient’s pkg XD I dont have the ingredients available right now, but i can let you know when i make it again.

    The crust and the chocolate are surely gonna be the main calory/fat-rich stuff in it… You can probably make it better using a light crust, or even better, a home-made one. I’ve seen some recipes around for almost fat-free crusts. I’m not sure if there’s light chocolate too though XD
