Chocolate Raspberry Tofu Pie

From EatingWell: EatingWell Fast & Flavorful Meatless Meals (2011), July/August 2012

This chocolate raspberry pie gets an amazing smooth, rich, creamy texture from pureed tofu. But no need to tell that tofu’s the secret ingredient—we’re sure no one will guess.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups chocolate chips (about 10 ounces)
1 12.3-ounce shelf-stable package firm silken tofu (see Note)
1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup frozen raspberries, thawed
1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar
1 9-inch graham cracker pie crust
Fresh raspberries for garnish

Preparation

Put chocolate chips in a medium microwavable bowl. Microwave on Medium for 1 minute. Stir, then continue microwaving on Medium, stirring every 20 seconds, until melted.
Place tofu in a food processor or blender and process until smooth. Add the melted chocolate, maple syrup and vanilla. Process again until smooth. Add raspberries and confectioners’ sugar and process until very smooth; scraping down the sides as necessary. Spread the mixture into the crust. Refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours. Garnish with fresh raspberries, if desired.

Tips & Notes

Make Ahead Tip: Loosely cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 3 days.

Note: Look for shelf-stable silken tofu in the Asian foods section or near shelf-stable soymilk in natural-foods stores and some well-stocked supermarkets. If you can’t find it, refrigerated silken tofu can be used in its place in this recipe. It’s usually sold in a 1-pound container, but you’ll only need 1 1/3 cups for this recipe.
